Error Pairing iOS Host

Question

Hi,

I am getting below error when trying to pair iOS host:

Workload manifest dependency 'Microsoft.NET.Workload.Emscripten' version '6.0.4' is lower than version '6.0.9' required by manifest 'microsoft.net.workload.mono.toolchain' [/Users/jassim/Library/Caches/Xamarin/XMA/SDKs/dotnet/sdk-manifests/6.0.400/microsoft.net.workload.mono.toolchain/WorkloadManifest.json]

Kindlyhelp

Hello @Jassim Al Rahma ,

You could try to clear the Broker, IDB, Build, and Designer Agents on the Mac, then re-pair to mac. (Both MAUI and Xamarin cache are in this folder )

In addition, you can refer to this workaround to edit the C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk-manifests\6.0.300\microsoft.net.workload.mono.toolchain\WorkloadManifest file

{  
  "version": "6.0.4",  
  "depends-on": {  
    "Microsoft.NET.Workload.Emscripten": "6.0.4"  
  },............  
.................  

Update
You can refer to the issue reported at GitHub- Pair to Mac failed with error "Workload manifest dependency 'Microsoft.NET.Workload.Emscripten' version '6.0.4' is lower..." #9800, it's closed because it's a problem with Visual Studio, and it has been fixed in version 17.4 Preview 2, you could try to install the latest version of Visual Studio 2022(preview) or refer to the workaround : copy the 6.0.9 Emscripten workload manifest you have installed on Windows to your Mac.

Hello. Try deleting the Xamarin folder on Mac OS at the path /Library/Caches. After that, follow the link .NET SDK and install on Windows .NET SDK 6.0.401. These actions helped me. When connected, it can still download various packages.
