VsCode MacOS: The operation couldn’t be completed. Failed to locate any simulator runtime matching options: TargetFramework=net8.0-ios

[alekseybailo]

Hello guys, I have some issue with building my project under VsCode on Mac:
The operation couldn’t be completed. Failed to locate any simulator runtime matching options: { TargetFramework=net8.0-ios]

Could you please guide what's wrong with my settings/configurations?

[jeromelaban]

Thanks for the report. This feels like your installation of Xcode is incorrect. Could you validate that you have installed the simulators in xcode?

[jeromelaban]

Thanks. Could you tell which version of the uno platform extension is installed? Could you also take a screenshot of the error?

[alekseybailo]

Sure, Uno version 5.2 and here are some logs:

@spouliot does the xcode error look familiar? It feels like an xcode simulators setup issue.

[spouliot]

Kind of...

Apple's actool is complaining it's not finding the right version of the iOS Simulator, it's looking for 17.4.

Running xcrun simctl list will tell what's installed.

Note that iOS 17.4 support comes with Xcode 15.3 (and might not work with earlier Xcode versions). IIRC (that was before my vacations) this version of Xcode was not yet supported by Microsoft.

[spouliot]

xamarin/xamarin-macios#20257 was not updated since I left

If an older Xcode (like 15.1 or 15.2) is used it's possible it can't use the newer simulators (even if they are shared across all Xcode instances). That would explain why Xcode's own actool is not happy.
