Hello,

Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

I'm not clear about if you are using VS for Mac or VS on Windows PC. Anyway, you could clean the solution and check the bundle signing first.
in Windows **
Please pair to Mac first, then right click the iOS project, select **Properties -> iOS Bundle Signing ->select your Team, if it appears "Automic provisioning completed successfully", you could connect your device with Mac, select your device under simulator drop-down menu and run the solution to deploy the app to your device.
in MAC
Go to info.plist, select Automatic Provisioning and select your Team, if it appears " Ready to deploy app to connected device", you could run the solution to deploy the app to your device.

------------Update----------

No iOS signing identities match the specified provisioning profile 'VS: WildCard Development'

means that your bundle identifier in your app doesn't match your app id on the portal, or there is no such a WildCard profile.
You could check if there is a Wildcard AppId in Apple developer portal, go to https://developer.apple.com/account/resources/identifiers/list and search " * ", if there is no such AppId, try to create a new one:

Click ** + ** button, select App IDs , then click Continue button, select APP, provide a description. Then set Bundle ID to Wildcard and enter an ID in the format com.[DomainName].* **. For example, if your **Bundle Identifier in info.plist is com.companyname.Demo, you need fill com.companyname.*

If there is this AppId in Apple developer portal or you have added a new one, try to check if there is a Wildcard profile in https://developer.apple.com/account/resources/profiles/list. If there is no such profile, try to create a new one:

Click ** + ** button, choose iOS App Development , click Continue button, select the Wildcard App Id, select Certificates(the cer must in your Mac), select devices, then fill in the Provisioning Profile Name. Finally, download it to your Mac and double click the file to install your Provisioning Profile .

Then you could pair to Mac and deploy the app again.

In addition, when you select certificates, you need make sure this cer is in your KeyChain of Mac. If you are not sure, you could create a new cer, this need a CSR file in your mac. About creating a certificate, you could refer to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/ios/deploy-test/app-distribution/app-store-distribution/?tabs=windows#creating-a-distribution-certificate, pay attention to selecting iOS App Development in setp 4.

If you have any other issues, feel free to let me know.
Best Regards,
Wenyan Zhang

You could try to change the Bundle Identifier in info.plist to check if it still sppears this error message. You said " I am able to deploy apps from Xcode to the iPhone device ", try to use this Bundle Identifier of Xcode project. You also could go to Tools > Options > Xamarin > Apple Accounts in VS, select your team and click View Details to check the profile, refer to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/ios/get-started/installation/device-provisioning/manual-provisioning?tabs=windows#create-a-development-certificate
If you have created a development certificate, you could pair to Mac and deploy the app again.
I 'm not clear about your WildCard Development, you could also refer to the update part of my answer.

Open Keychain in your mac, try to check if there is a Apple Worldeide Developer Relations Certification Authority certificate and a Apple development cer. I think there are such certificates because you could deploy app from Xcode. Go to ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles in your Mac, all profile files are in this folder. If you don't have any other projects, you could clean this floder. Open Xcode, create a new project which bundle id is the format com.companyname.*, go to Signing, uncheck Automatically manage signing, click Provisioning Profile and import the newest profile which you have created and downloaded (the .mobileprovision file, double click the development.cer file before importing). Pay attention to checking if there are any waring messages.
Then you could open VS, go to Tools > Options > Xamarin > Apple Accounts in VS, remove your apple developer account and add again, click View Details and download all profiles, then you could pair to mac, go to iOS Bundle Signing ->select Automatic Provisioning ->select your Team. Pay attention to checking the Bundle Identifier in info.plist is the format com.companyname.*
Then you could connect your device with your Mac by USB and deploy again. Try to clean solution and reopen VS. If it still cannot deploy, I'm afraid you have to try Maunual Provisioning or try to use VS for Mac.

Hi Wenyan, I wanted to say that I really appreciate your support and intention to help me with it !
I tried to do anything you wrote correctly and it's still the same problem.. I am able to deploy to the iPhone from Xcode and Visual Studio for mac, but not from my PC :(
This is my matriculation final project - iOS app. I'm trying to fix it for over 2 weeks now and I have no idea what to do... Is it possible that you will guide me and make sure that I do the steps you wrote in the right way with screen share? (Discord etc), I will be extremely impassioned and it'll save me.

Thanks a lot,
Tal

You could use Visual Studio for mac to deploy ,so I'm afraid that you could pair to Mac, select Manual Provisioning, Signing Identity->Developer(Automatic), Provisioning Profile->Automatic(or the profile you created).

Due to our policy, I can't share screen with you. I'm so sorry. I suggest that you might need to open a support ticket (https://support.serviceshub.microsoft.com/supportforbusiness ) for this. Please contact our paid phone support at MS Support. You will get 1:1 support on that.
