IPA file not generated anymore

I have a Xamarin.iOS project for which the IPA file has been generated successfully for a while. Now, it has stopped working, meaning the file is not generated anymore.
I am using Visual-Studio 2019 Community Edition Version 16.9.2 on Windows host, connecting to Mac OS. I recently updated Mac OS.

I am using a valid Apple Distribution Provisioning profile.
The iTune Package Archive option is checked in Visual-Studio.

Any tip about something else I should try now ? The Xamarin.form nuget package is not up to date since updating to the most recent version causes some breaking changes in my code. Could having this package not being updated recently causing the issue ?

Thanks,
Gabriel Doyon

    Found my error. Seems the current device configuration changed from "Remote device" to "Local Device" which IPA archived cannot be generated. Reset to "Release|iPhone|Remote Device" configuration fixed the issue.
