Trying to pair my Mac with the latest version of VS19 but the iOS version's don't match
Member ✭✭
I'm trying to pair my mac from my windows machine and I downloaded the latest versions of Xamarin on both the Windows (16.1.0) and Mac (8.0.3) and the Xamarin.iOS versions don't match. The Mac currently has 12.8 and the Windows has 12.10.0.10.
What do I do? Thanks in advanced!

The latest stable release version for Visual Studio 2019 on Windows is 16.0.2: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/releases/2019/release-notes
You must have downloaded the preview version: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/releases/2019/release-notes-preview
It definitely has different Xamarin.iOS version compared to the Visual Studio for Mac 8.0.3.
I recommend that you should use a stable version to debug your project, so 16.0.2 is a better choice.5 -

You have to connect your iPhone to your Mac via USB or using Wifi debugging.
Follow this tutorial to debug Xamarin.iOS: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/ios/deploy-test/debugging-in-xamarin-ios?tabs=windows
Moreover, since you want to debug on a real device, provisioning profile is needed: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/ios/get-started/installation/device-provisioning/5

LandLu - Thank you I was able to pair the Mac! I'm a bit confused now though. What did this pairing even do? How can I debug my Xamarin applications from my Windows Machine to my iPhone?
