I'm trying to debug an app (Xamarin.Forms) on my iPhone. I already have Visual Studio on my Windows PC, on which I'm writing the app, and Visual Studio and XCode on my Mac. I registered the iPhone on my developer account too.
However, it seems like I also need a provisioning profile. But the walkthroughs I've seen have screen unlike the current XCode. When I click on Preferences - accounts, I see my account, but there's nowhere to add a provisioning profile.
(Does the iPhone need to be signed in with the same Apple ID as the one on the Mac, the one for which I have a developer account?)
How am I supposed to add that?
From XCode v.8.x, provisionning profiles are managed automatically by XCode... So you don't see the full list. I presume you can only see a "Download All Profiles" button (under Preferences/Accounts menu). Click on it, then In Visual Studio iOS project's properties, your provisionning profile should appear in both VS Mac & Windows (if your Windows VS is connected to your MAC).
Connect to your MAC from Windows as mentionned here: Connecting to your MAC -> doc screenshots may be old...
Open your project in Xcode and Go to Project Setting -> Select Target -> Select Generate tap
Under Sigin category -> Check the Automatic manage signing
It will list down the list of configured developer account.
Choose your account
Everything else done by Xcode on behalf of you.
Xcode will create a provisioning profile in your developer account
with the Bundle identifier, which you mentioned in Identity tap Bundle identifier
