Visual Studio Mac Error HE0003: Application could not be uploaded to device

Hi,

I got an error during uploading my iOS application to my device (an iPhone 12) today:

"Application could not be uploaded to the device."

/Library/Frameworks/Xamarin.iOS.framework/Versions/Current/bin/mlaunch -sdkroot "/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer" --installdev "/Users/.../Projects/Xamarin_2021/.../....iOS/bin/iPhone/Release....iOS.app" --device ios "--devname=iPhone" --install-progress
error HE0003: Could not load the framework 'IBFoundation' (path: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Frameworks/IBFoundation.framework/IBFoundation): not found.

Application could not be uploaded to the device.

It said it can not find the IBFoundation.framework from the said directory, which I verified that indeed it did not contain that file.

This problem only started to happen after I updated Xcode to version 13.

Anyone else also encountered this problem? Thank you.

    Solution:

    For me, it worked after updating Xamarin.iOS to the version that supports XCode 13 from this thread - https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/issues/12778
