Description
Reproduction steps
Created a new .NET MAUI app and launched it with MacCatalyst. When making a call to Repository.IsValid(projectPath); it will throw the following. Looking at the output folder, the runtimes are not copied there. I have tried manipulating the output folder, but it doesn't seem to be able to resolve the native library properly.
{System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'LibGit2Sharp.Core.NativeMethods' threw an exception.
---> System.DllNotFoundException: git2-e632535
at LibGit2Sharp.Core.NativeMethods.InitializeNativeLibrary() in **/_/LibGit2Sharp/Core/NativeMet…}**
Running the same command via a console application (.NET 7.0 CLI, not MacCatalyst) executes as expected.
Expected behavior
Native libraries should be copied to the output folder and made available, if possible, for the MacCatalyst platform.
Actual behavior
Native libraries are not copied over and cannot be referenced on MacCatalyst.
Version of LibGit2Sharp (release number or SHA1)

Research direction
Start by reproducing Repository.IsValid(projectPath) in a .NET 7 MacCatalyst-x64 app and inspect Core/NativeMethods along with the output folder. Compare the MacCatalyst output with the working console application's native runtime files; done means the required native library is copied and resolved on MacCatalyst.
