I've successfully generated a new API key for setting up my Apple account in Visual Studio Xamarin. I've added the new API key, which you can observe below.

However, when I opt for 'Bundle signing' with Automatic provisioning, it encounters an error. I'm receiving the following error message. It's worth noting that this setup was functioning correctly previously. I'm uncertain about the root cause of this issue. Please refer to the attached file.

The only modification I made was removing the previous API key and attempting to add a new one.

    Hello,

    From the screenshot, you are configuring Hot-Restart in Xamarin, and you could refer to the doc-Hot-Restart in MAUI, and you got this error because you (or your team members) have created a development provisioning profile with another machine.

    As described in the error message, there are two solutions:

    1. Invoke the previous certificate that is created by the API Key.

    Detail steps: Go to the Certificates list in Appstore Connect , find all certificates whose name is in format "XXXXX Created via API" and created by "API key: XXXX", then click the item and invoke it. After that, you can configure the Automatic provisioning like your second screenshot.

    If you have any other issues during this process, please feel free to post in here.

    1. Find the certificates and provisioning profile in your (or your team members) other machines, then import the certificates and provisioning profile. All Certificates and profiles are in %HOME%\AppData\Local\Xamarin\iOS\Provisioning\Certificates and %HOME%\AppData\Local\Xamarin\iOS\Provisioning\Profiles, please export those files into your machine.
      It is possible that there are available certificates in the KeyChain of your Mac, and you could try Pair to Mac.

    Best Regards,

    Wenyan Zhang
