Running Xamarin Forms iOS gave me a black screen

I had this problem since later yesterday (06/18/2021). At first I thought this may be related to my changes to the code. So I reverted back to where I knew it should work, and still I had this black screen. I did some search and tried all I could (updating Visual Studio, removing obj and bin folders, cleaning and rebuilding) and this problem still persists. Anyone has an idea what could be causing the black screen?

    Hello,

    Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

    You can first check if you have upgraded everything to the latest (VS for mac , VS for windows , XCode ).

    If the problem persists,you can try the following methods:

    • Restart PC and visual studio .
    • Delete bin and obj folder on windows side.
    • Reconnect mac agent .
    • Clean and rebuild .
    • Change simulator(iPhone X e,g)
    • Disable remote simulator to Windows (Tools - Options - Xamarin - iOS Settings)

    If problem persists , attach your build log here (Help - Xamarin - Open Logs).

    Best Regards,

    Jessie Zhang
