Xamarin downloading and updating error on MacOs Sierra VM - ios

I have a MacOS Sierra VM on VMWare and I'am having problems to download from the Xamarin repositories.
When I first installed Xamarin on Mac, I did the manual install of all downloads from xamarin because the installer gave me an error.
I need to update to Xamarin.IOS 10.4.0 but it gives me an error on automatic installer and I cant download anything.
The manual installer on this page: https://store.xamarin.com/account/my/subscription/downloads
don't show the Xamarin.IOS 10.4.0 version that I need, the last it shows its 10.3.1
Im new on Mac Os but I have internet on my VM and I don't know what to do.
Any ideas?
Any help is worth. Thank you.

I found a manual installer on this url:
https://dl.xamarin.com/MonoTouch/Mac/xamarin.ios-10.4.0.123.pkg
I installed it whitout problems. I dont understand why this link isn't on: https://store.xamarin.com/account/my/subscription/downloads
i found it by myself.
The automatic installer of updates still dont working but this resolve my problem of the Xamarin.IOS 10.4.0.123 version.

Use Xamarin Studio for updates. Even if it fails to complete downloads, you can find all those URLs later in ~/Library/Caches/XamarinStudio-6.0/TempDownload/index.xml.
I also have problems with automatic updates and all the links to the latest versions are almost always missing on Xamarin's Downloads page.

Building iOS app with Xamarin and Visual Studio 2019 - Error Wrong Version of Xcode installed when it isnt

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.

Build failed with error Remotebuild requires your projects to use cordova-ios 4.3.0 or greater with Xcode 8.3. Please update your cordova-ios version

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.

Delphi iOS Simulator error message 'Session ended'

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.

Using Xamarin and VS15 on Mac and VM

I'm trying to do some developing with Xamarin. My setup is this:
MacBook Pro running Sierra 10.12.3
-XCode 8.2.1 installed
VMWare Fusion running Win10 VM using Bridged network connection
-Running Visual Studio 15 with Xamarin up-to-date with latest Stable release
I'm still just trying to get everything set up. Originally, I was running Yosemite, so I would get the error that I needed to Accept the XCode terms when I tried to set up my Xamarin Mac Agent, but XCode wasn't even installed (my bad). So, I updated my OS to Sierra and installed XCode. Then, I made sure on the Mac side that my account was included for Remote Login. When I try to connect, it comes back after 30 seconds or so that it "Couldn't Connect". So, if I try another account in the approved Remote Login list that I don't have the password for, it comes back right away that I have the wrong credentials. So that tells me that it must be getting thru to the Mac, but something else is wrong.
Any ideas would be great!
Thanks!
To make the connection between OS X and Windows work, you have to make sure that you're running the same version of Xamarin on both.
On OS X, you need to have Xamarin Studio with the latest stable version of Xamarin and Xamarin.iOS installed. On Windows, you need to check that you have the same version by going to About Visual Studio dialog (Help menu).

Installing Appcelerator Studio OS X El Capitan

I've been using Appcelerator Studio a lot, never seen this problem before. I recently did a fresh installation of OS X, then installing Xcode (7.3.1) and Command Line Tools for Xcode 7.3.1.
When installing Appcelerator Studio (build: 4.5.0.201602170821) everything is going great, the CLI gets installed. When starting up Appcelerator Studio, I have to configure SDKs, hence I am only interested in iOS at the moment, I uncheck Android in the Platform Configuration. The following is that Configuring SDK encountered a problem:
An internal error occurred during: "Configuring SDK". java.lang.NullPointerException
I continuing, and go to Preferences>Studio>Platforms>iOS, where the iOS SDK home says Not specified, I click refresh - nothing happens.
I run xcode-select -p and the correct path to Xcode Developer folder is printed.
Anyone having a clue of solving this?
I've check all the version statuses, also tried to reinstall and deleting all information that can impact to this.
Share the directory hierarchy where you have stored Android SDK and Platform screen folder. Also try to follow the guidelines of Titanium to integrate iOS, but remember to clean the hidden folders in root directory of your OS X system.
I believe the problem might be with your Xcode. Are you having multiple Xcode's installed?
Use sudo xcode-select -switch <xcode_folder_path> switch between Xcode's.
Then,run appc ti info -t ios and check whether CLI is able to identify the selected Xcode. If your Xcode is listed here, then studio should be able to identify it.
