I have migrated xamarin project from windows 10 to macos cataliina(10.15.5).

But I completely stuck on error when I am trying to run xamarin.ios project. Hope for some advices.

/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/6.10.0/lib/mono/msbuild/Current/bin/Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets(5,5): Error MSB3073: The command " if not exist "/Users/dmitry/Desktop/APP/APP_code/1.9.8/SuppClient/Portable/bin/Debug/x86" md "/Users/dmitry/Desktop/APP/APP_code/1.9.8/SuppClient/Portable/bin/Debug/x86" xcopy /s /y "/Users/dmitry/Desktop/APP/APP_code/1.9.8/packages/Microsoft.SqlServer.Compact.4.0.8854.1/NativeBinaries/x86/."

Open your project file and edit its post build event. Those commands used currently (like xcopy) are Windows only. You have to convert to UNIX/Linux specific commands such as cp. Well, if you do want quicker resolution for all platforms, write a PowerShell script that takes input, and then call it from post build event with proper parameters. PowerShell 6 and above is now cross platform, so you can rely on that portability. – Lex Li

Updating Xamarin PCL .Net Framework to .Net Standard solved the problem.
