Description
### Describe the bug
When using the source generator from the MVVM Toolkit with Visual Studio 2022 for Mac Release Candidate for a Xamarin Forms 5 app, the following error message is generated:
`CSC : error MVVMTK0008: The source generator features from the MVVM Toolkit require consuming projects to set the C# language version to at least C# 8.0`
Work around on the Mac:
Edit the .csproj and add the following
```xml
preview
```
When `LangVersion` is explicitly set, the code compiles and runs as expected. The autogenerated partial classes do not show up in the solution explorer as they would on the Windows Visual Studio.
### Regression
