Xamarin iOS failed to install

I am a Window user, so I borrowed a Mac to work with Xamarin. After installing Xamarin and its components on a Mac, I can connect it to my Windows machine, but when I run the debugger to launch the application, I get the following error.

Problem

Please, help.

NOTE. - Already reviewed Xamarin Forms iOS Deploy with simulator ERROR installation error , but it did not help.

Android is working fine.

TIA

It worked.

  • On Windows, go to Tools => Options => Xamarin => iOS Settings => Uncheck Remote Simulator
  • Run the application in debug mode, you will see the emulator on Mac (large emulator press CTRL + 3 to get normal mode).
  • If step 2 is completed, switch to release mode and then again to debug mode.
  • Now check again the Remote Emulator parameter in the xamarin section

Launch the application and it worked.

I hope this helps other developers looking for a similar problem.

I had this exact problem after upgrading to the latest version of Xamarin and Xcode (from 8.0 to 8.1) without updating my Xamarin Remote Simulator.

I used:

https://dl.xamarin.com/xamarin-simulator/Xamarin.Simulator.Installer.0.10.0.6.msi

Xamarin separately released a new version of Remote Simulator to support Xcode 8.1:

https://releases.xamarin.com/preview-ios-simulator-for-windows-update-6/ https://dl.xamarin.com/xamarin-simulator/Xamarin.Simulator.Installer.0.10.1.1.msi

When I installed it and clicked Debug, the Visual Studio log window showed that it was installing the updated remote simulator server on a Mac, and then my application was deployed and debugged properly.

For future visitors to this page, make sure that the version of Xamarin Remote Simulator that you are using also matches the versions of Xamarin and Xcode.

Xamarin publishes these releases as they appear here:

https://releases.xamarin.com
