Mac connect in visual studio

Question

I'm running the app in visual studio. In order to check the operation with the Mac simulator, the following error occurs when I connect to the Mac and build. What should I do?

error: No provisioning profiles were found available for OnlineSecurityApp on iOS.

Answer 1

Hello,

error: No provisioning profiles were found available for OnlineSecurityApp on iOS.

This error means there is no matched provisioning profile for your App. To troubleshooting, please follow the steps:

• In your Apple Developer Account portal, go to Profiles list, and find the provisioning profile that matched your App ID. (If you just test the app on your physical device and you do not add capabilities to your app, the provisioning profile with Wildcard AppID is enough. If not, you have to create an explicit AppID and the matched provisioning profile)
• Check which certificates are included. If you are not sure, please click the Edit button then select all certificates and save.
• Open VS, go to Apple developer Account window, click ViewDetails. In Certificates window, please see if the certificate you have confirmed in the previous step is valid. If not, it will show Not in Keychain, and you have to import a valid certificate.
• If the certificate is valid, please Download all Profile. Then you can try to select the provisioning profile manually via Bundle Signing property.
• If you still cannot select the matched provisioning profile, please download the profile from Apple Developer Account portal, and move the file to C:\Users{username}\AppData\Local\Xamarin\iOS\Provisioning\Profiles

If you cannot select the provisioning profile after these steps, please create a new certificate and a new provisioning profile.
