Does Visual Studio for Mac support debugging iOS app with Distribution profile?

enter image description hereI am able to debug iOS app (developed in Xamarin.iOS) with Distribution profile. However Xcode does not support debugging with Distribution profile. As per Apple docs debugging is not supported via distribution profile. How is Visual Studio supporting this ? Is this an expected behaviour ?

Solution

  • There is a clear distinction between Debug and Release in Xcode. However, in the VS,Debug and Release just two configurations predefined by the system. You can change the settings as shown in the image below . Right click your project->options. enter image description here enter image description here

    That is to say, it has nothing to do with your certificate(distribution or development).You can view it as product feature .
