specify ios SDK model in Azure DevOps MAUI construct pipeline

I’ve a MAUI app that targets net8.0-ios. On my native dev machine (and remotely related mac), I will construct towards iOS SDK 18 with Xcode 16. In Azure DevOps, I’ve specified
macos-14 because the agent picture, however it’s complaining about utilizing iOS 17.5 as an alternative of 18.0.

ILLINK : error MT2362: The linker step 'ClassHandleRewriter' failed throughout processing: A number of errors occurred. (The sort 'MapKit.MKSelectionAccessory' (used as a return sort in MapKit.MKMapView/_MKMapViewDelegate.GetSelectionAccessory) just isn't out there in iOS 17.5 (it was launched in iOS 18.0). Please construct with a more moderen iOS SDK (often performed through the use of the latest model of Xcode). [/Users/runner/work/1/s/App/App.csproj::TargetFramework=net8.0-ios]

The necessary a part of that’s:

… just isn’t out there in iOS 17.5 (it was launched in iOS 18.0). Please construct with a more moderen iOS SDK (often performed through the use of the latest model of Xcode)

How do I inform DevOps to make use of iOS 18? I checked the agent specs, and it has iOS 18 and Xcode 16.
