How can I debug that to find the source of the problem?

Solution

  • I hope your issue was resolved. If not, please try removing your bin and obj folder and try. I just got the same error. After removing my bin and obj folder, it worked fine when I paired to my mac and tried running the app in a IOS simulator.
