Automatic Provisioning Failed, please check the logs when trying to select auto provisioning from VS 2022
I am getting the following error and cannot get past it,
I also see this issue which I think has something to do with it,
It is not showing any certs or profiles when I try to look at them through VS. I have tried to add one of my certs, but that does not work, it asks for the password and then does nothing.
I have read a lot of different stuff online and I have tried clearing the provisioning profile folder on my MAC as well as deleting all unneeded profiles on the apple developer site. I also created a new cert and a new profile, but none of this has helped.
I am working on a windows machine using VS 2022. I only use the MAC to build on. I have little or no experience with xcode and I do not have VS for Mac.
Edit Here are the logs I am seeing

But I am using the latest version of xcode so not sure why I would get this message.
Update
This has been resolved in version 17.3.1 of Visual Studio.
Visual Studio now uses an API key to access apple and create certificates, you'll have to delete the old account, create and use the new API key.
Creating API Keys for App Store Connect API
This was the original Answer
It seems that Visual Studio is using a depricated API from Apple for creating certificates. This would mean that you can no longer use the auto provisioning at least until Microsoft resolve this.
I'm basing this on the below snippet from the error log.
The Apple Developer Portal web API for creating certificates is no longer supported. Please create your certificate manually.
There are also several other questions without clear answers on this.
Apple provisioning no longer works with Visual Studio 2022 17.2
Stuck: Request a certificate from a certificate authority in Keychain Access on Mac
iOS Signing Fails due to Error in Generating Automatic Provisioning Profile or Certificate Retrieval
For the near future it looks like we'll have to manually create certificates.
