In fact the folder I manually created is empty.

I checked on the MacBook, and the specified file does not exist. Scenario 2 - 2nd Result within Visual Studio on WindowsĮrror MT1008: Failed to launch the simulator: Could not find required file '/Users/macbook/Library/Caches/Xamarin/mtbs/builds/BlazorHybridApp.iOS/373192a984aab952b21bd389276fc38f881a1f70c8927669096f762b8fab1f51/bin/iPhoneSimulator/Debug//ist'. So, I manually created the folder on the Mac, and reran from Visual Studio with the same settings selected. I checked on the MacBook, and indeed the folder does not exist (I'd expect it to be auto-created as part of the build?).

My app runs wonderfully on Android in both the Android simulator and physical devices.īut I'm unable to get the iOS Simulator to run when launched from Visual Studio. The Mac is 'connected' from within Visual Studio, and Visual Studio successfully installed any missing libraries it required remotely on the Mac. I'm not fussy whether the Simulator runs locally on my Windows machine, or on the Mac itself.
