How to go back to iOS simulator from Provisioning profile env?
USMember ✭✭
I am publishing my first iOS app.
I managed to have everything ok to upload a build to the apple developer website.
However, I found out we need several screenshots from different screen sizes (iPad, iPhone 5.5 inches, 6.5 inches etc).
Problem is I have only one iPhone so I need to go back to simulator mode to get these screenshots.
However, now that everything is set up on my Visual Studio 2019 on Windows 10, I cannot manage to go back to simulator mode.
The build tells me it cannot find a matching profile, so I tried many things including removing the entitlements file, my account id etc.
I think I have more screwed up my system rather than doing it correctly. Is there a special provisioning profile to create on apple side? I understood these are only for real devices.
Can you please let me know what I should do to be able to run again my simulator (windows or Mac one either are ok for me)?
Thank you

I found out how to do. You need first to remove your apple id from tools/options in Visual Studio.
Then you need to set the following properties in the ios project properties:

There's no need to configure a provisioning profile for simulators.
Did you enable some capabilities that could only be available on real devices?
Here is a simple hello world sample:

You could test it on your side without a provisioning profile.
Hi, I know we don t need a provisioning profile for simulators.
My question is how do you remove an existing provisioning profile from a project?
I found hundreds of posts explaining how to add it but none for the other way round.
I will try again to remove my Apple ID from Visual Studio, but the provisioning profile keeps on remaining in the project properties.
Thank you
