I'm trying to develop a cross-platform app using xamarin forms and mac-in-cloud. Specifically with ios, I'm trying to set-up automatic provisioning since I originally got the error when debugging: >Could not find any available provisioning profile for (app name).iOS on iOS
So, after researching into the issue I put my apple developer acct info in, and when trying to use automatic provisioning. I get an error under Team: >There were errors in the data supplied. Please correct and re-submit. There are no current IOS devices on this team matching the provided device IDs.
Now, following the research rabbit hole, I go to the apple developer portal, try and register device, select macOS, insert Hardware UUID of mac mini into device ID, so on. And no change to error(s).
Question time, am I setting it up completely wrong? Other (older) articles/forums suggest linking an ios device via itunes, however, that seems counterproductive to my objective. Anyways, any help would be greatly appreciated. Apologies for any naiveté.
What are you trying to develop with the mac? Is it a iOS (iPhone) app? If so you can just use the simulator on the mac, and the mac does not need to be registered.
Try manual provisioning in VS Signing Identity > Development (your name) Provisioning profile > probably will be vs (something)
Also in VS go to Preferences > Apple Developer Accounts > make sure your account is listed. Then on the right hand side, click 'View Details' then 'Download all profiles'
Restarting VS or the mac may also help.
