Cannot build on 0.69.21 with C# library

[cjhines]

Problem Description

I'm trying to get an older library (react-native-file-viewer) to run in my project.

I made a fork to update dependencies and minimal build which you can find here.

I was running into UAP version errors until I implemented this workaround of setting an AssetTargetFallback property:

  <PropertyGroup Label="NuGet">
    <ResolveNuGetPackages>false</ResolveNuGetPackages>
    <AssetTargetFallback>$(AssetTargetFallback);uap10.0.19041</AssetTargetFallback>
  </PropertyGroup>

I'm now getting the following error when attempting a build on CI:

 C:\MyApp\application\node_modules\react-native-windows\Microsoft.ReactNative.Managed.CodeGen\target\x64\Release\Microsoft.ReactNative.Managed.CodeGen\publish\Microsoft.ReactNative.Managed.CodeGen.exe @C:\MyApp\application\node_modules\react-native-file-viewer\windows\ReactNativeFileViewer\obj\x64\Release\ReactNativeFileViewer.ReactNativeCodeGenReactNativeFileViewer.ReactNativeCodeGen.rsp

[C:\MyApp\application\node_modules\react-native-file-viewer\windows\ReactNativeFileViewer\ReactNativeFileViewer.csproj]

I can't find any reference to this error outside of dotnet forums and I'm struggling to apply their use cases to mine.

I thought it could be due to the long paths, but this should be allowed:

Steps To Reproduce

1. Install my react-native-file-viewer fork.
2. Follow the workaround outlined here

Title of your issue says C++ library, but the implementation of that module looks like it's C#. Typo?

This failure looks to be in the codegen. There was a change in 0.71 that updates the dotNet version that could affect this. Is upgrading an option?

Also 0.69.6 is a bit behind. 0.69.21 is the latest (https://github.com/microsoft/react-native-windows/releases).

Anyway, not confident this has been patched. But it'll help in investigation if we're dealing with latest. There has been motion in this area.

I'm now getting the following error when attempting a build on CI:

How is it being built in CI?

@chrisglein Apologies, it is indeed a C# module. I've updated the title.

I tried 0.69.21 with no luck unfortunately.

Is upgrading an option?

Not in the short term unfortunately. Might look into it as a last resort but it would affect our release schedule.

How is it being built in CI?

Here is the build command I'm using:

npx react-native run-windows --logging --no-launch --no-deploy --release --msbuildprops PackageCertificateKeyFile=keyfile.pfx,PackageCertificatePassword="${CERT_PW}"

Just to clarify: This builds fine for you locally but it's only in CI that it fails? Or is it failing to build in both?
How are the images being configured in CI? Do you know what dotNet versions they have installed? (particularly 3.1)
