I have a .Net MAUI app that I want to test and debug if needed on my iPhone without Mac. I found instructions on how this can be done here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/maui/deployment/hot-restart But on the second step I get the following: I don't understand what username and password it is talking about. I am signed in on the Visual Studio. If it is about my Apple Developer account credentials, it does not ask me for them, and I don't see where I can enter them. Please advise. I use Visual Studio 2022 version 17.3.2.

Hello @Dmitriy Reznik , It means your Apple Developer account. You could check the step 8-10 in the mentioned Doc - .NET MAUI hot restart for iOS device deployment - .NET MAUI | Microsoft Learn , and you need to create an App Store Connect API key if your developer account is an individual account. If there is no prompt dialog asking you to enter the account, please go to Tools -> Options -> Xamarin -> Apple Accounts -> Add .

Your first image named "238209-image.png" is broken, and can't be loaded on my side, could you upload a new one?

It shows that your account is type of enterprise Apple Developer account. If so, you don't have to create an App Store Connect API key.
However, if you have previously logged into your account in VS, the individual account will appear as a enterprise account. You could go to Apple Developer Portal , check Membership Details, then see the Entity Type.
If it is Enterprise , please check the step 13-15 steps in the doc - .NET MAUI hot restart for iOS device deployment - .NET MAUI | Microsoft Learn.
If it is Individual , please go to App Store Connect, click User and Access, go to Keys tab, choose App Store Connect API , then generate an API Key. After that, you can open VS and go to Tools-> Options-> Xamarin-> Apple Accounts -> Add-> Individual account, enter your API key.

If you have any other issues, please feel free to let me know.

Hi @Wenyan Zhang (Shanghai Wicresoft Co,.Ltd.)

I do have Entity Type Company/Organization. But when I tried the steps you mentioned, I get the same problem:

And it did not ask me for any credentials.

Please go to %HOME%\AppData\Local\Xamarin\iOS\Provisioning\Profiles folder and check if there is a valid profile. Then you can try to remove you account and add again. If you are building a MAUI app, you can use the latest VS preview.

@ WenyanZhang-MSFT
Yes! After I removed and then entered the account, it worked! I believe it is because some time ago I changed my Apple password. Thank you very much!
