Ad-hoc configuration not available in VS2019 iOS IPA or Bundle properties

Question

I am following the tutorial at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/ios/deploy-test/app-distribution/ad-hoc-distribution?tabs=windows
In the intro, it says that

Xamarin.iOS applications can be user-tested via ad hoc distribution, which is available on both the Apple Developer Program and the Apple Developer Enterprise Program, and allows up to 100 iOS devices to be tested.

However, when I go into my iOS properties, neither the iOS Bundle Signing nor the iOS IPA Options shows Ad-Hoc in the Configuration Drop Down.

Any help on what I am doing wrong is appreciated.

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

There are only Debug and Release options by default, but we can add a new option in Configuration Manager .
