Visual studio 2022 Xamarin Remoted iOS simulator does not connect and shows black screen after VS update 17.1.3
I have a Xamarin.Forms project running on iOS simulators. I recently updated Visual studio 2022 to 17.1.3. After upgrade whenever I try to run the app on any iOS simulator, the simulator gets stuck at Blank screen like below. And it does not show anything on screen.
When I checked in the paired Mac that I use to build the project, there the iOS simulator window shows as blank too, and the title shows as iPhone xxx - External display.
If anyone has encountered this before and solved it, please help.
It's very annoying, but Microsoft wrote in the release notes:
Deploying an iOS app with Visual Studio on 2022 and Apple Xcode 13.3 results in a Remote iOS simulator window with a blank/black screen. Workaround: Disable the "Remote Simulator to Windows" check box in the iOS Settings under the Tools - Options menu. The iOS app should deploy correctly on the macOS host.
Looks like it's temporarily broken and they're working on it.
