[BUG]: Self-hosted agent on M2 hangs when building MAUI on NET6 / NET7 / NET8

[svaldetero]

What happened?

Previously following xamarin/xamarin-macios#17825 but can't update it since I'm not a collaborator. Also related #4205
This has been an issue on NET 6 & NET 7. I just upgraded to NET 8 since it released and the above bug has been fixed, however I still have the issue. Corresponding macios bug: xamarin/xamarin-macios#19547

Kicking off a dotnet publish for a NET 8 Maui ios app, hangs forever. Opening a terminal on the mac, pasting the exact line, and executing it in the agent's folder, runs fine.

Command

dotnet publish 'Maui.csproj' -f net8.0-ios --self-contained -r ios-arm64 -c Release -p:BuildIpa=True -p:ApplicationId=com.app.dev /p:ApplicationVersion=61217 /p:ApplicationDisplayVersion=0.1.31 /p:ApplicationTitle='AppDevTemplate Dev'

Model Identifier: Mac14,13
Model Number: Z17Z000JXLL/A
Chip: Apple M2 Max
