Visual Studio for Mac has been retired and .net 8 support is limited.

you should probably move to visual studio code or jetrider if you want an ide. Your other option is parallels hosting windows and visual studio.
Note: I just switched to swift and kotlin to have native tool support. When .net can produce native libraries, I’ll revisit .net for sharing mobile app code.
How have you found the switch from .net to swifit / kotlin? I have a medium sized Xamarin app and need to migrate off of Xamarin before it is end of support. Ideally wanted to stick to .net to minimize re-work...
On Visual Studio for Windows, the iOS simulator is really laggy. Will try Rider but when running my app in debug mode it crashes through Rider
both SwiftUI and JetPack are more modern UI toolkits. I've used several mobile cross platform toolkits and found that maintaining the toolchain was more difficult than just using the native toolchains. Both swift and Katlin are similar to C#, and not hard to learn.
note: Most of my shared code is on the server, the mobile apps are more UI focused.
For anyone that comes across this issue, it is due to Visual Studio HotReload doesn't support custom build configurations. Can only use HotReload in the Debug build config.
