It’s not possible to deploy any Xamarin iOS app on a physical device. Maybe someone of you already had the same issues and knows about a work around?
Xcode: Version 14.0 (14A309)
Visual Studio for Mac: 17.3.4 (build 4)
When trying to Debug I get following error. I’ve already tried multiple times to clean the project and delete bin and obj folders:

I’ve had a similar issue. I’ve update the xcode to 14 and visual studio (from windows) stopped working with the xamarin.ios debug/build. I needed to downgrade the xcode to the previous version to get it working back.
Apple released Xcode 14 overnight, which auto-updated on my machine, so it is now officially the version to use, but still no support for building Xamarin apps with VS Mac Preview. 🙁
I suggest to downgrade to a previous version of XCode (e.g. https://download.developer.apple.com/Developer_Tools/Xcode_13.4.1/Xcode_13.4.1.xip if logged in as developer)
Here you can select the XCode version you want: https://developer.apple.com/download/all
You can have multiple XCode version installed side by side. Use
sudo xcode-select -s /path/to/XCode.appto switch between them.Downgrading the Command Line Tools to 13.4 helped me.
In xCode (still 14) -> Preferences -> Location -> Command Line Tools, select version 13.4 instead of 14. Restart tools and it worked again…
Hope it works for you too!
With the latest update from Xamarin.iOS the issue is resolved. I am running 14.0.1 XCODE,
17.3.6 Visual studio 2022 community
16.0.0.72 Xamarin.iOS
I am able to deploy the solution to both older(15.5) and newer(16.0) simulator
So the issue is resolved, please update all the relevant tools. Note I have also checked deployment from Rider IDE.
After installing command-line manually, command-line tools is empty, after selecting XCode 14.0.1 itself resolved the issue.
