Visual Studio For Mac Not Seeing Simulators


I have taken delivery of a new Macbook Pro (M2 Pro) and I'm setting it up for development. I've installed the latest XCode (14.3) and Visual Studio For Mac (17.5.3)

I've opened up a project but I'm not able to see the iOS Simulators to test on. I've re-installed both, ensured that VS is pointing to the SDK (/Applications/Xcode.app) as well as opening up XCode first to ensure all licenses and such like have been accepted. However I'm still not seeing any Simulators. I can see them in Xcode, and can run them and run a Flutter app from Visual Studio Code on a Simulator. I just can't get Visual Studio For Mac to see them.

Does anyone have any ideas?


Solution

  • Morning Ian, also seeing this issue since updating to Xcode 14.3. Waiting on Visual Studio for Mac update to add support for Xcode 14.3. You should be able to install Xcode 14.2 from https://developer.apple.com/download/all/?q=Xcode as a short term workaround.
