Application could not be uploaded to the device.

I think it's because of a path issue. I had something similar. Try to run:

sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app

Or otherwise:

xcode-select -p

Though it would be nice if the MAUI build tools could give a clearer error message or detect the correct path.

[jingliancui]

Sorry, it doesn't work. @coen22

[coen22]

Maybe try opening Xcode. It probably has to update some files, after having updated through the App Store.

[jingliancui]

@coen22 Sorry, it still doesn't work.

[coen22]

That's odd, if I'm correct it should point to

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/SharedFrameworks/ContentDelivery.framework/Versions/A/ContentDelivery 

Perhaps you should try to get a list of simulators and run in through the CLI:

dotnet build -t:Run -f net7.0-ios -p:_DeviceName=:v2:udid=<Simulator_UUID>

You can get <Simulator_UUID> with the following code

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/simctl list

I believe your issue is you're running Xcode 14.1, but the version of Xamarin.iOS / dotnet ios SDK you have is intended for Xcode 14, hence why it's not working. I'm not sure what versions of Xcode are supported for what dotnet bands (like, is there Xcode 14.1 support for net6?) but I think that's why it's throwing, based on that stack.

[jingliancui]

@drasticactions Sorry, I've download xcode 14.0.1 and it's still doesn't work. I'm going to download xcode14 .

[jingliancui]

It doesn't work as well, I will submit an issue to vs feedback.

Same here - let's see if that will be solved somehow
