Default VS symbol loading mechanism does not work

[juwens]

Description

pdbs should be published in a way which is easily consumable with VS default Symbol server, respective with SourceLink.
Currently it's not easy/obvious to comsune the pdbs.

Steps to Reproduce

1. create a maui app via VS 17.4 Preview 3
2. update target-framework to net7 in csproj
3. enable default symbol servers
4. uncheck "just my code"
5. start maui app
6. open modules window
7. select microsoft.maui.controls.dll
8. rightclick -> "load symbols"

Expected Result:
symbols are loaded (from nuget or symbol server)

Actual Result:
no symbols can be loaded, because none are found

Did you find any workaround?

I don't see, how you are supposed to consume the pdb's from  #2317

Thanks for the issue report @juwens! This issue appears to be a problem with Visual Studio, so we ask that you use the VS feedback tool to report the issue. That way it will get to the routed to the team that owns this experience in VS.

2. Close this bug, and consider adding a link to the VS Feedback issue so that others can follow its activity there.

This issue will be automatically closed in 3 days if there are no further comments.

Only MAUI is affected. other symbol loading from symbol-servers/sourcelink work fine. I don’t see, how this is a VS fault.
Did you try it out?
Did you look at the symbol loading output, and see a clue why it’s VS‘s fault?
Are you sure that MAUI publishes it’s symbol packages in the VS expected way, as many other projects do?

This issue is being closed due to inactivity. If this issue is still affecting you, please follow the steps above to use the VS Feedback Tool to report the issue.

What the heck?

[drasticactions]

@PureWeen This is not a VS issue, the MAUI symbols are not published to Nuget, making it very hard to debug when MAUI itself throws an error.

@juwens the PDBs are included within the nuget package itself. If you go to your nuget cache you should be able to find them for all the MAUI packages and can load them manually. I do agree that they should be published to nuget itself as well though, since that would be more accessible for everyone.

I think it might still be a tooling issue? Probably, maybe the loading of all this is different because it's a workload and not an actual NuGet?
