Creating DLL mod with VS Studio OSX, keeps saying: Object reference not set to instance of object

[MacFelon]

Hey all, I compiled a small simple chat override in VS Studio OSX, compiled the DLL successfully (linking in Assembly-CSharp as is needed).

Type of project is Code Library.

Getting:  

ModManager:LoadMods()
GameManager:Awake()

2025-04-15T11:13:49 1.183 ERR [MODS]     Failed loading mod from folder: 'SotaBot'
2025-04-15T11:13:49 1.183 EXC Object reference not set to an instance of an object

UnityEngine.StackTraceUtility:ExtractStringFromException(Object)
Log:Exception(Exception)
ModManager:loadModsFromFolder(String)
ModManager:LoadMods()

My ModInfo.xml is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<xml>
    <Name value="SotaBot">
    <DisplayName value="Sotas Bot">
    <Version value="1.1.0.1">
    <Description value="The bot you wanted or not">
    <Author value="Macfelon">
    <Website value="None">
</xml>

Any ideas on what's going awry?

Created a class:

public class API : IModApi

You are not closing xml tags properly.

Not <Name value="SotaBot"> but <Name value="SotaBot" />

Not <DisplayName value="Sotas Bot"> but <DisplayName value="Sotas Bot" />

etc..
