Everything was working fine till updating Xcode to version 14. But after updating Xcode to latest version 14, simulators are not available in visual studio.
Also, app is not getting installed on physical devices. Just getting a success message as normally but the app is not on the device.
I have downgraded the Xcode and now i am able to see all the simulators and deploy the Xamarin forms App on device and simulators.
Steps to Downgrade XCode:
Go to Apple developer site and login with your credentials .
Once you logged in into site, scroll down where you can see XCode 13.4.1 see the below screenshot
XCode on Apple store
Click on download. Once it is downloaded kindly uninstall your previous XCode which on your mac and then install XCode 13.4.1.
Give the exact XCode path in Visual studio. Below is the screenshot for reference ---SDKManager
Xamarin Forms App specific settings
Now you can build the app and deploy your app in the simulators or mobiles.
I got a new update today for Visual Studio for iOS16 and after updating VS all simulators are available now.
Install Visual Studio 2022 for Mac. It works with Xcode 14 & iOS 16.
I have the problem that I'm not able to see the list of iOS simulators in Visual Studio Debug Target on my Windows PC
I've just made a total upgrade of my Xamarin development environment including now latest VS 2022, latest OS on my Mac, latest XCode version 14 and latest version of Xamarin on my PC and Mac. I have successfully paired to my Mac from Visual Studio.
On my Mac I've just tried to refresh the list of Debug devices as described in Microsoft Docs:
Delete your ~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices folder.
Run killall -9 com.apple.CoreSimulator.CoreSimulatorService.
Run xcrun simctl list devices.
.. but still no result. All I can select in my Debug Target is Local Device, Remote Device and Simulator.
Before this upgrade I had no problem seeing all the simulators.
I will really appreciate if anybody have some good ideas of what I can do to solve this.
Following is my list of installed components from VS About box:
Xamarin 17.3.0.296 (d17-3#a0ff24b)
Visual Studio extension to enable development for Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Android.
Xamarin Designer 17.3.0.208 (remotes/origin/d17-3#e4f67afef)
Visual Studio extension to enable Xamarin Designer tools in Visual Studio.
Xamarin Templates 17.2.28 (9b3d244)
Templates for building iOS, Android, and Windows apps with Xamarin and Xamarin.Forms.
Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Mac SDK 15.12.0.2 (87f98a75e)
Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Mac Reference Assemblies and MSBuild support
Please be noted that XCode 14 is not yet supported in Xamarin.iOS or .NET MAUI, you need downgrade your Xcode version to 13.4.1 and could download it from the downloads page in the Apple Developer Portal. For more information, you can refer to https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/issues/15954
Update:
Xcode 14 is currently supported and if there are any other issues, please continue to post back to the GitHub.Thanks!
I have this same issue even after installing VS 17.3.6. I have no list of iOS simulators and I get a warning that this version of Xcode is not supported.
I updated my XCode to XCode 13 for make test my Xamarin.iOS app on ios 15 devices. I updated visual studio for mac app to version 8.10.9
After this updating, I opened my app in visual studio for mac but when I try to choose devices, I can't see devices. There is only a message that: "Lower the 'Deployment Target' to see older simulators or check your Apple SDK path"
I tried to change deployment target and I checked Apple SDK path from Preferences/SDK Locations/Apple/Apple SDK. I tried to set path both "/Applications/Xcode.app" and "/Applications/Xcode.app/". But none of them didn't worked for me. What sould I do?
Thanks in advance.
Just experienced the same issue after auto update to Xcode 14. Downgrading to Xcode 13.4.1 fixed the issue.
More information about Xamarin.iOS support with Xcode 14 here
There isn't a Xcode 13 compatible version of Visual Studio for Mac/Xamarin.iOS released yet. It should be here soon, but if you need it to work now, go over to the Apple Developer portal and download the latest Xcode 12 version and (re)install that.
More information can be found here.
I experienced the same error in Oct 2022 with XCode 13.3.1 installed on an M1 Air with Monterey macOS 12.3.1.
Visual Studio Community 2022 for Mac, Version 17.3.5 (build 0)
This is a project several years old that I've not worked on for over a year. The deployment target in the info.plist is 9.3.
I have no problems building a new Xamarin Forms project and running on the simulator.
The SDK Locations panel says:
XCode 13.3.1 found at the system location (xcode-select)
/Applications/Xcode.app
After satisfying myself that a basic new project worked, I applied the simple classic technique of deleting the obj and bin folders for the core and iOS projects. That fixed it and I was able to build and run on the simulator.
How can I change default iOS simulator on Visual Studio for Mac?
When I pair my MacBook with PC, I have a list of iOS simulators available in Visual Studio 2019 ( on Windows). But when I work directly on MacBook, and run Visual Studio for Mac, there's only one (grayed) simulator available and I have no idea how to change it. Checked Solution options, Project settings. But there's no option to change it.
It looks like that now:
How can I fix this issue?
UPDATE #1
Probably this information could help. Some time ago my XCode and Visual Studio were automatically updated to 12.3 and I start getting errors related to missing developer profile. I uninstalled XCode 12.3 and Visual Studio and installed previous versions. Now XCode version is 12.2 and the error message related to the developer profile is gone. Maybe it somehow connected to the issue I have.
Current XCode version: 12.2 (12B45b)
Visual Studio for Mac version:
8.8.4 (build 30)
Operating system: macOS Catalina 10.15.7
UPDATE #2
I've updated MacOS to version Big Sur
Also I have uninstalled XCode and installed again version 12.3
And I've uninstalled Visual Studio for Mac and installed it again.
The problem still persists.
UPDATE #3
Below, there is information about versions:
Operating system: MacOS Big Sur, version 11.1
XCode version: 12.3 (12c33)
Visual Studio For Mac, version 8.8.6 (Build 15)
Xamarin.iOS: 6.18.0.23 (d16-6/088c73638). Package Version: 612000113
Minimum system version (in Info.plist): 11.0
I reproduce this issue on my mac. You could follow the stpes below.
Open the XCode. Click Window tab to open the Device and Simulators.
Click Simulators on left side. Then Click + at the bottom left to create a new eimulator.
After that close and restart the VS.
And now, you could use the ios simulators.
I am trying to run the sample example for Xamarin.Forms. I have made the sample application. I have added the required packages in the project.But for some reason I am getting the the error
Failed to launch the simulator: Could not load the framework 'libswiftCore.dylib' (path:
/Applications/Xcode8beta.app/Contents/Frameworks/libswiftCore.dylib):
not found. error MT1008: Failed to launch the simulator: Could not
load the framework 'libswiftCore.dylib' (path:
/Applications/Xcode8beta.app/Contents/Frameworks/libswiftCore.dylib):
not found.
I am using XCode 8 beta on my Mac
Xamarin studio 6.1.1
I have set the paths for the SDK correctly in the Xamarin preferences and it is saying that the SDK is available at the path that has been mentioned.
Whenever I try to run the application it compiles well but just before the simulator is expected to start it shows the above message.
How should I resolve this issue ?
You need to update Xamarin Studio (and/or Visual Studio). This is the release that fixes it. Here is the post about the issue with the corresponding bugs that match your exactly.
Summary, Xcode 8.1 changed the location of the library so it caused Xamarin to error. Xamarin released a hotfix to the stable channel that resolves it.
Try updating to a stable version of Xcode.
From the Xamarin.iOS 10.0 release notes:
The latest features and API requires Xcode 8.0 GM and the bundled iOS, tvOS and watchOS SDKs
Apple Xcode 8.0 requires a Mac running OSX 10.11.5 (El Capitan) or newer
Builds supporting the final release of Xcode 8.1 have just been released, so that is also an option.
