Installed Xamarin.iOS on Windows and I can see it in Visual Studio 2010, and the Mac Build host is there and running but It is not configured in the Visual Studio iOS extension.
When I try to configure it, it says
Please activate your Xamarin.iOS before you can configure your build
host.
But there is no option to activate the Xamarin.iOS, how to do that??
It appeared that you need to create a new project to force it to Activate as it says in here

The docs from Xamarin aren't explicit as to where an iOS device needs to be attached. I'm using VS to build a Xamarin app through a remote Mac Builder (connected via VPN) but my iphone is attached to my PC with Visual Studio. Its completely unclear as to whether or not you can deploy a compiled to from the PC you're running Visual Studio on or whether the iOS device needs to be USB'd to the remote Mac running the build.
Even though Xamarin offers developers the way to use C# creating native iOS applications, we also need to pair to a Mac which is required for compiling native iOS applications. So of course if you want to deploy on a real device, you need to connect it to the Mac.
It seems you have already known how to create a provisioning profile. This documentation tells you how to pair to a Mac to deploy applications. Also before doing that you also need to complete the following steps:
On a Windows machine, install Visual Studio 2017
On a Mac, install Xcode and Visual Studio for Mac
The Installesd Xamarin.IOS (version 10.8) on the MAC Xamarin Team is not compatible with the local Xamarin.IOS (version 10.2) . PLease select a new server or install the correct Xamarin.IOS versions.
I am getting the above issue while connecting with the MAC from Visual Studio 2017.I did Unistall and Installed VS two times. for this , we have wasted threee days of time.
please anyone provide the solution for the above issue.
Thank you in Advance.
Check the Xamarin.ios updates both on PC and Mac. Download and install all the updates, make the version of your Xamarin.ios up to date.
To check the Xamarin.ios updates on PC:
Open Visual Studio.
Tools->Options...->Xamarin->Other.
Select Stable and click the Check Now button.
On Mac:
Open Visual Studio for Mac.
Click the Visual Studio ... tab right after the Apple icon on the top-left of screen.
Click Check for Updates...
If it is not on stable channel, choose Stable and click on Switch
channel button.
You can check the versions both on PC and Mac for xamarin.ios in VS.
Check the xamarin.ios version on PC:
Help->About Microsoft Visual Studio.
On Mac:
Visual Studio ...->About Visual Studio ...->Show Details.
At this time (9/4/2017), the latest stable version of Xamarin.ios is 10.12. When you update both them, try to connect them again.

How can I update the Xamarin.IOS version on my
MAC?
When I am trying to build my Xamarin iOS project, I am facing this issue:
The Xamarin Build Agent is not running on the Mac. An active Build Agent is required to perform the build.
In order to use Visual Studio to compile iOS project, you will need to have a Mac setup with Xamarin for your Visual Studio to connect with (Physical mac or cloud services like mac in cloud). Refer to the xamarin guide HERE.
You say you uninstalled & reinstalled Xamarin... do you mean on the Mac?
We are attempting to connect to a Xamarin build host running on a Mac Mini (OS X 10.11 Yosemite) to a Visual Studio running on a Windows 8.1 Machine. We have updated Xamarin.iOS to same version on both system.
The issue:
My Visual Studio can detect the build host and asks for PIN to pair with the build host. But even if I'm entering the same PIN, it never accepts, and keeps giving this error(PFA Screenshots):
The PIN you entered was invalid.
Please ensure you have entered the correct PIN.
You may have to close this dialog and retry from Visual Studio.
I've restarted both systems and tried to unpair and pair again with new PIN, but no success.
Needless to say, but both systems are on same network and VS can detect the build host.
My Mac Details are in attached image –
Visual Studio Details:
Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2013
Version 12.0.31101.00 Update 4
Connecting to your build host via telnet you should not be receiving any response until you enter HELO.
The response that you are getting before the HELO MTBSERVERPORTS:62592;62595 is incorrect (a Xamarin bug).
objc[66118]: Class WebAnimationController is implemented in both /System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/WebKitLegacy.framework/Versions/A/WebKitLegacy and /System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/Versions/A/WebKit. One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined.
If you are running any thing older that the Xamarin 3.9 release, you need to upgrade. If that does not help, either contact Xamarin Support to help troubleshoot why this is happening or upgrade to the Xamarin 4.0 for Visual Studio.
Personally, I would upgrade to the Xamarin 4.0 for Visual Studio (currently an alpha release) as it replaces the PIN pairing with a SSH tunnel that avoids all of the older issues with 3.0 Build Host connection problems.
Re: http://developer.xamarin.com/releases/vs/xamarin.vs_4/xamarin.vs_4.0/
This version also introduces the new Xamarin Mac Agent which replaces
the old Xamarin Build Host with a new approach taking advantage of the
built-in MacOS Remote Login feature based on SSH for a faster and more
reliable connectivity.
First check firewall rule on your both machines if the port (5000) is not blocked.

Try to connect manually by telnet.
It says that my windows installer project is unsupported. "ProjectType" = "8:{978C614F-708E-4E1A-B201-565925725DBA}" is in vdproj file. Can i work with it in VS11 beta?
You can still use Windows Service project. It is installer that is not supported by VS11. Accoring to Visual Studio team, old VS Install and Deploy projects (*.vdproj) will not be supported in any future releases starting with VS11. Migrate to WIX.
I encountered the same issue with trying to open a installer package sent to me via another developer, apparently I needed to install the appropriate version of (in Visual Studio):
Microsoft Visual Studio Installer Projects
To open this type of project. Once I did that I was able to open this project type.
