Pairing to Mac Connection Failed
I use VS 2022 17.6 and also VS 2022 17.8 Preview to connect to my to develop under .NET MAUI.
My problem is that very often I can't establish a connection to Pair with my Mac
What I do then is clear Data on my Mac restart my Mac and also Windows and try again. I also try and delete my .vs-Directory. Sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't.
When this is displayed, it is hardly possible to re-connect again. Sometimes I also loose the Connection to my Mac when it first worked well for long time. But, after losing it, it is not possible anymore to re-connect unless I try above steps.
Is there anything that I should setup or do, maybe also on the Mac that helps with these connection issues? Problem is, it takes so long to get it up and running again that it is a real pain in the ass and very time-consuming.
To keep the connection more stable when pairing to Mac, you can refer to the suggestions below:
Automatic connection to known Macs can be enabled in Visual Studio by navigating to Tools > Options > Xamarin > iOS Settings and ensuring that Enable auto connection to known Macs is checked:
In System Settings > Energy Saver, check the
Wake for network accessoption and uncheckPut hard disks to sleep when possible. Also make sure checkPrevent automatic sleeping when display is off. Thanks to Peter's effort.You can also add a WLAN Hotspot (Mobile Hotspot) on your PC and connect to this on the Mac.
