Could not install iOS workload

Question

I'm facing this issue when trying to pair between VS Windows and Mac to debug using the iOS device.

Answer 1

Hello,

For your question, we recommend that you install the .NET8 SDK on your MAC and Windows machines, or install the latest version of VS for Mac and Windows 2022 (Windows), and delete the cache in the XMA folder.
