Hello @Sanjay Kumar Jha ,

You need to create an App Store Connect API key: go to App Store Connect(you select Membership now), click User and Access, go to Keys tab, choose **App Store Connect API ** , then generate an API Key. Please be careful to save the downloaded key, it can only be downloaded once.

After that, you can open VS and go to Tools-> Options-> Xamarin-> Apple Accounts -> Add-> Individual account, enter your API key.

For more details, you can refer to:
Creating API Keys for App Store Connect API | Apple Developer Documentation
.NET MAUI hot restart for iOS device deployment - .NET MAUI | Microsoft Learn

Note: There is some security information in the images, I have edited it. Please be careful to post the security information.

Best Regards,
Wenyan Zhang
