Visual Studio, Maui, dotnet publish. Unable to authenticate using the following authentication method: KeyboardInteractiveAuthenticationMethod

Question

When publishing Maui (preview 14) App in Visual Studio 2022 (Preview 2.1) connected to Mac Mini (M1) the publishing fails on code sign, but it seems to be some authentication error:

C:\Program Files\dotnet\packs\Microsoft.Maui.Resizetizer.Sdk\6.0.200-preview.14.5099\targets\Microsoft.Maui.Resizetizer.targets(518,9): warning : [xma]: Unable to authenticate using the following authentication method: KeyboardInteractiveAuthenticationMethod [C:\repo\ecotouch-mobile\ecotouch-mobile.csproj]

Client not connected.

An error occurred while using the SCP Client. Details: Permission denied (publickey).

An error occurred while uploading files

Session operation has timed out

• There are files copied to the mac ~/Library/Xamarin/mtbs/*;
• I can (manually) connect using ssh(cmd and putty) to the target locations;
• Eventually there is an IPA file created that does not contain the app resulting in the error ERROR ITMS-90207: "Invalid Bundle. The bundle at 'ecotouch-mobile.app' does not contain a bundle executable.";

When runned a second time (when some files are created) the first error lines in the log are:

[ADDED INFORMATION]

It could be the case the warnings are not the reason why it doesn't work. The IPA that is generated seems to be valid, but most files are empty:

Which seems to be causing:

ERROR ITMS-90207: 
"Invalid Bundle. The bundle at 'ecotouch-mobile.app' does not contain a bundle executable."

Answer 1

Fully updated everything to latest (mac, all workloads, visual studio etc.), now it works. Throws all the same warnings but produces a working package anyways.
