I am using Visual Studio on Windows connected to a remote Mac via the pairing process. When I try to run my app on an iOS simulator (e.g., iPhone 14 simulator), the build fails with the following error:
Could not find any available provisioning profiles for CX360 on iOS.
From my understanding, provisioning profiles are not required for debugging on iOS simulators because simulators do not enforce app signing. However, I am still getting this error when attempting to debug.
Here are the details of my setup:
- I am targeting an iOS simulator (not a physical device).
- The app builds successfully for Android and Windows platforms.
- My Visual Studio version is up to date, and the Mac has the latest version of Xcode installed.
- The
Info.plist, signing settings, and provisioning profile are not explicitly configured for simulators in the project.
What I’ve Tried
- Verified that the iPhoneSimulator platform is selected in Configuration Manager.
- Set signing to Automatic in Visual Studio project properties.
- Cleaned and rebuilt the solution.
My Question
Do I need a provisioning profile for debugging on an iOS simulator? If not, what steps should I take to ensure the project builds and deploys successfully on the simulator without encountering this error?From my understanding, provisioning profiles are not required for debugging on iOS simulators because simulators do not enforce app signing. However, I am still getting this error when attempting to debug.

Yes, you are right.
My Visual Studio version is up to date, and the Mac has the latest version of Xcode installed.
VS17.12.0, Xcode 16.2, and .NET9 MAUI project, right?
Set signing to Automatic in Visual Studio project properties. Please try Manual provisioning and creating a new development provisioning profile to see if the issue still exists. Also, could you share the .csproj file with me so that I can see the configuration?

2024-12-20T06:48:56.6366667+00:00 You set too many configurations like the following:
<PropertyGroup Condition="'$(TargetFramework)'=='net9.0-ios'"> <ProvisioningType>automatic</ProvisioningType> </PropertyGroup> <PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(Platform)'=='Debug|iPhoneSimulator'"> <CodesignKey>iPhone Developer</CodesignKey> <CodesignProvision></CodesignProvision> <CodesignEntitlements></CodesignEntitlements> </PropertyGroup> <PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Platform)'=='iPhone'"> <CodesignKey>iPhone Developer</CodesignKey> <CodesignProvision>SomeProvisioningProfile</CodesignProvision> </PropertyGroup> <PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(TargetFramework)|$(Platform)'=='Debug|net9.0-ios|AnyCPU'"> <CreatePackage>false</CreatePackage> <CodesignProvision>Automatic</CodesignProvision> <CodesignKey>XXXX</CodesignKey> </PropertyGroup>Please try to keep the latest one and remove the code sign
<PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(TargetFramework)|$(Platform)'=='Debug|net9.0-ios|AnyCPU'"> <CreatePackage>false</CreatePackage> </PropertyGroup> -

2025-01-02T09:39:37.4733333+00:00 Did you change the configuration? This error means the provisioning profile is not matched to the existed certificate, do you try Manual provisioning and creating a new development provisioning profile?
