I'm actively using Visual Studio 16.6 windows / 8.6.1 macOS to build and test iOS / Android application, in Xamarin Forms. macOS is running Xcode 11.
I can't push to AppStoreConnect from "Sign and Distribute" directly.
Everything is working fine step by step: build in release for iDevice, signing and distribution profile accepted, export to IPA file, and uploading via Xcode->Organizer. But i'd like to do this simply from Visual Studio; either on my PC or mac.
I have the following errors on Visual Studio / windows when uploading to AppStoreConnect:
Error: unable to create IPA file for distribution of archive myApp
MessagingRemoteException: error happened on client Build160001055 during execution of an answer for category xvs/Build/16.6.0.1055/execute-task/myApp.iOS/c1cf1c8002fCopy
TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'Microsoft.Build.Tasks.Copy' threw an exception.
PlatformNotSupportedException: Operation is not supported on this platform.
I have the following error on Visual Studio / macOS when uploading to AppStoreConnect:
Publication failure: we are unable to create an authentification session.
Notice Visual Studio / macOS is asking creds (i'm using developper account) while Visual Studio / windows is not (i surely have it registered before, but i don't remember).
This issue appears to have been resolved in a hotfix (16.6.1) released today, as per this bug report: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/961282/xamarinios-fails-to-build-with-messagingremoteexce.html
