I am trying out Xamarin on the Mac. I have an oldish Mac that DID have Xcode 10.1 on it.
I tried to build the iOS app and got the following error:
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error The Xcode version installed on the Mac (10.1) is not compatible with this version of Visual Studio. This may cause unexpected warnings or errors when building and deploying iOS projects. Please install Xcode '11.3' or visit the documentation to learn more. 0
I upgraded the Mac to Caitlin and upgraded Xcode to 11.3.
I can connect to the Mac and actually can run the iPhone simulator with the app, however, if I run the build, I STILL get the same error, like its not figured out how to update itself?
I have done the 'forget this Mac' and even renamed it on the network in case there was some legacy in a file somewhere.
I have dumped the solution and created a new one from the templates and still get the same error ... hair being torn out...
It might be one of those things that just goes away after a while I don't know. Any ideas?
Thanks.
EDIT * I realised that I wasnt clear. I am running VS2019 on a PC connecting to my Mac.

I'm getting these errors, building for any iOS simulator:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Professional\MSBuild\Xamarin\iOS\Xamarin.iOS.Common.targets(473,3): error MSB3231: Unable to remove directory "obj\iPhoneSimulator\Debug\". The directory is not empty
OR
SeverityCodeDescriptionProjectFileLineSuppression StateSuppression State Error Unable to remove directory "UserControls". Access to the path 'D:\Projects\Solutions\mycompany\iOS\obj\iPhoneSimulator\Debug\UserControls' is denied.mycompany.iOS
OR both together...
I'm using VS 2019 version 16.3.7 on Windows 10 machine and Xcode 11.2.1 on Mac Mini, OSX 10.14.6 and it does not matter which iOS simulator targeted, all version 13.2.2. Developing a Xamarin Forms application.
If I switch to target one of my hard devices, I get multiple errors like this:
error : Access to the path 'D:\Projects\Solutions\mycompany\iOS\obj\iPhone\Debug\Popups\TemplatePicker.xaml.g.cs' is denied.
I can work around this by quitting VS, removing read-only flag on the obj folder and all it contents, run VS as admin, THEN it builds and pushes to the device.
Switching back to target a simulator, I get the first error again.
Deleting Bin and Obj folders does not help either.
Side note - this was working until Windows rebooted itself on my dev machine, closing VS and forcing recovery of some files. Android version works just fine in simulator and hard device, no issues.
Wondering if I upgrade VS to version 16.4.5 and Xcode to 11.3.1, this might be resolved. Any ideas?
Are these version compatible with the latest VS-Xcode connector? (I've seen issues with version incompatibility) .
Any ideas? Resolutions?
Thank you
OK, here's what I've found...
The connection and link to XCode from VS on the PC causes a lock or some sort when targeting any iOS simulor. This is intermittent but once the locks are imposed, one needs to
close VS
quit the Simulator on the Mac.
delete the Obj and Bin folders in the solution
Re-open VS, open the project, let it sync with the Mac.
Restart Simulator on the mac
Rebuild. This could take a couple iterations too.
If that does not clear the problem, shut down both machines, remember to delete Obj and Bin folders.
Frustrating, slow, but it works for me for now.
I have a notebook with windows installed and a virtual machine of MacOs Catalina.
Connecting the Mac to Visual Studio on windows works without a problem but when I want to run the Xamarin.Ios Project the simulator boots and after some seconds the error
"could not launch the app (bundle_name) on the device iOS 13.3 - iPhone 11: The request to open (bundle_name) failed.
occures.
Here is the error
The latest version of XCode (11.3.1) and Visualstudio 2019 are both installed on the virtual machine.
Sometimes another error occures on the virtual machine which says that springboard quit unexpected. Don't know if it has something to do with this problem
Here is the error for the springboard error
Does anyone know how to solve this? I looked it up online but I can't find a working solution.
I had same problem. I changed my provisioning profile from distribution to development and it fixed .
I am aiming to deploy a mobile application to the iOS platform using codes developed in Visual Studio for an Android phone. I am unable to open the Visual Studio file on my Macbook (macOS High Sierra ver.10.13.6) as Visual Studio here does not seem to support .jsproj files. As such, I have attempted following the instructions in the link below to run a remotebuild on my mac while debugging codes and seeing an iOS simulator on my Windows computer.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/cross-platform/tools-for-cordova/first-steps/ios-guide?view=toolsforcordova-2017#run-on-simulator
I was able to get the remotebuild running, however, I came across the error where it required my projects to use cordova-ios 4.3.0 or greater with Xcode 8.3. As my windows computer does not have Xcode, I turned to my macbook and tried updating and adding the Cordova iOS platform through the terminal, where it said "Current working directory is not a Cordova-based project." I have searched the error up and it said that it required my Visual Studio project to be open, which I am unable to do so as my file is not supported in the Mac version of Visual Studio.
The iOS version in my Windows Visual Studio is currently 4.2.0 and I am unsure how to get about updating it. I have seen the link below but in only applies to Macbook, where I cannot open the Visual Studio project file.
Install specific version of Cordova CLI in Visual Studio 2017
I have installed node.js as well as Git, also attempting to include/update the Cordova iOS platform through the command prompt (Once again unsure if that was the method, but I tried), however, the command prompt did not recognise the update to cordova. Under the toolset in Visual Studio, I have tried ticking on the checkbox under Cordova platforms to take the latest patch, where ~4.2.0 appears, but still does not update.
I am still new to coding and things seem very foreign to me, if I have missed out anything vital or am doing something fatally wrong, please do enlighten me.
I am trying to run iOS Simulator from Delphi having setup the following needed configurations:
I am using mac with Parallel Desktop for my RAD Studio virtual machine.
I am using Delphi 10.1 Berlin.
Already installed an XCode and running.
I have my command line tools.
I have platform assistant and running in my mac.
I already created my connection profile using the IPAddress and port given by PAServer.
Installed SDK for OSX and iOS in the SDK Manager.
I have no problem running my OSX on my Mac.
The only issue I have is my iOS Simulator is not working. Here'sscreenshot of the error message.
I swear I checked the recommended troubleshoot procedures several times but no avail.
I hope someone help me get through with this. I already spent the whole day searching/troubleshooting this connection.
Many thanks and cheers!
There is a Hotfix for 10.1 Berlin called "30680_rad_studio_10.1_berlin_hotfix_11_jan_2017". It should be available for download from your EDN account under "My registered user downloads".
You need to copy the files from this zip archive onto your Mac in the PAServer-18.0 application folder /Applications/PAServer-18.0.app/Contents/MacOS. There is a readme_en.txt with a detailed description.
I am getting the following error when trying to run Visual Studio/Xamarin built application on the IOS Simulator.
Launch failed. The app 'App2' could not be launched on 'iPhone 7 Plus iOS 10.1'. Please check the logs for more details.
"App2" was created using the Tab Template, and NO code changes after rolling the application.
Windows environment: Windows 10 w/Visual Studio 2015 update 2
Mac environment: IMac Sierra fully patched. XCode 8.1 (what ever is most up to date).
I have connected the mac remote and pc. I can launch the iPhone simulator on the mac from Visual studio on the PC.
I get the error when trying to run "App2". It compiles fine, just won't run on the simulator.
I've searched here, and similar results speak of VS Crashing. Mine doesn't crash, just presents the error. NOTE: There's nothing in any log I can find with details by the way.
Ideas? Thanks!
EDIT: Just loaded up Parallels on the IMac and ran Win 10/VStudio. I get the same error. Again, xamarin remote agent connected and I can start the simulator from the PC, i just can't deploy to it.
After all the research and help from those here it comes down to a bug with the current version of Xamarin. Options are to wait until a new stable build is on the Xamarin site or get builds off of GIT. I'm choosing to wait, as I've not had great luck working with interim builds.
Xamarin that downloads with the new VS 2017 fixes this bug.
