xamarin forms: Issue with creating IPA file

I follow the below steps for creating an IPA file.

  • Selected the iOS project as the startup project.
  • Select the Release | Device configuration in Visual Studio for Mac.
  • From the Build menu, select Archive for Publishing.

At this 3rd stage, I am getting a pop-up box and telling "Configuration doesn't target device". I am adding the screenshot of the popup.

enter image description here

At the Debug mode device is there but when I changed it to the release mode it is showing the device as Default. I refer the following blog; https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/ios/deploy-test/app-distribution/ipa-support?tabs=vsmac

Thanks in advance
