Xamarin Studio not launching iOS Project. error MT1108: Could not find developer tools for this 10.0.2 device


My Xamarin development was working fine yesterday and is now showing this error message when trying to run the project:

error MT1108: Could not find developer tools for this 10.0.2 (14A456) device. Please ensure you are using a compatible Xcode version and then connect this device to Xcode to install the development support files.

I have updated Xcode to 8.1, Xamarin Studio is on the latest stable build and I've upgraded to macOS Sierra, but I still have this issue. Colleagues with the same dev environment as me are still able to run the project fine. I'm also able to open a different iOS project with the same settings and it will deploy to the phone fine.

Other things I've tried:

  • Complete uninstall/re-install of Xamarin Studio.

  • The Alpha build of Xamarin Studio.


Solution

  • So this worked for me:

    1. Change the debug configuration to: Debug | iPhoneSimulator
    2. Run the solution
    3. Change the debug configuration back to: Debug | iPhone
    4. Run the solution
