Xamarin provision profiles not working

I recently opened up a project that was building only a few weeks before. However, whenever I try to build (either on debug using a development profile, or release using a distribution profile I get the following error.

Could not find any available provision profiles for "ProjectName" on iOS. - (Xamarin.Shared.targets)

At first this only happened for debug, I built successfully on release and after that I get this either way. The profiles are most certainly still valid, and they do show up in the build options. So I don't understand why I am getting this error, it makes absolutely no sense. I even get this message for debug when using an automatic development signing identity. This is on vs for mac.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have been stuck on this for many many hours and all I want to do is modify a ui element.

(I've had nothing but issues with provisioning profile since I started with xamarin 4 years ago, it's very frustrating)

Thanks,

    Hi JoshuaTanton-3752,

    Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

    Here are some steps you can refer to.

    1.Modify the "Scheme" to "Automatic Provisioning" and check if it works.

    2.Clear all provisioning profiles under path ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles.

    3.Check if the bundle ID in the Mac is consistent with the bundle ID of your project.

    4.Follow the document Manual provisioning for Xamarin.iOS to create new profiles.

    6.Update the VS to the latest.

    5.If all the steps doesn't work, try to report a problem on Developer Community.

    Here are some threads you can refer to.
