Xamarin.iOS: Failed to generate Ad-Hoc | Release Build from Migrated Project (Microsoft.NET.Sdk)

Matrix ComSec 5

Hello,

Error: Configuration doesn't target device

Tools: Visual Studio 2022 (Version 17.6.14)

According to the process of upgrade project from Xamarin to .Net sdk style, we have migrated Xamarin.iOS (native) project into sdk style project (Microsoft.NET.Sdk).

Project successfully debug and run even debug build are archived successfully but failed to generate Ad-Hoc | Release Build. Bundle signing configuration is also set to Release Mode with ad-hoc provisioning profile but still error to archieve a build.

Best Regards,

Bundle signing configuration is also set to Release Mode with ad-hoc provisioning profile but still error to archieve a build. Error: Configuration doesn't target device, could you share the detailed error message with me? For further investigation, could you provide the following information?

What's the MAUI version?

What's the Xcode version?

and what's the iOS version of your physical device?

Hello,

I want to double-check that your project is a .net-iOS project or a Xamarin.iOS project. You mentioned that you have migrated to .NET SDK style.

From the screenshot, it looks like you are using VS for Mac, right? If so, you can refer to the following:

Please connect your physical iOS device with your Mac, use the Debug Target drop-down to select your device. (or select Generic Device)

Best Regards,

We have already selected the generic device from drop down as we have to build release build. Debug build is working fine in device. The mentioned problem is with release build only.

<Configuration Condition=" '$(Configuration)' == '' ">Debug</Configuration>

Could you share the whole .csproj file with me? It looks like there is no Release Configuration.
