VS solutions/projects can be renamed. If a Xamarin solution/projects are copied and the copies renamed, can the renamed IOS project be deployed to a device with the original version present and be functional?

    Hi MarcGeorge-6477,

    Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

    In iOS, you can set a unique identifier "Bundle ID" for each app. Refer to the document: Bundle IDs.

    This means that no two applications can have the same bundle identifier.

    So you just need to go to Info.plist and modify the Bundle Identifier to ensure that the two projects have different Bundle IDs.
