When I examine the Xamarin.Simulator logs I notice this: Startup:Īrguments: -device=EBAB483F-D9AF-XXX-XXXX-mlaunch=/Users/XXX/Library/Caches/Xamarin/XMA/SDKs/dotnet/packs///tools/bin/mlaunch -launchsim=//Users/XXX/Library/Caches/Xamarin/mtbs/builds/MauiApp1/e42ad46171c3031dfcf0c05e01b82061b90e7c77273501****/bin/Debug/net7.0-ios/iossimulator-圆4/MauiApp1.app -argument=-monodevelop-port -argument=56435 -setenv=_XAMARIN_DEBUG_PORT_=56435 -sdkroot=/Applications/Xcode.app -h=172.31.**.** -ssh=XXX If in VS I de-select the 'remote simulator to windows' option is VS, then the ISO simulator launches on the mac VM and loads up the VS app fine, but I do not want to have to work on the mac as means I have to flip back and forth which when doing dev work its a nightmare of a hassle

The ISO simulator launches in windows but is stuck saying 'connecting to mac.' I was able to connect Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 ver (17.5.3) to Ventura ver 13.3 Mac OSX running in sickcodes docker image and I never used to have any issues until I had to reformat my pc, since then I have hit a bit of a wall.
