No devices attached in xamarin VisualStudio for ios

Question

I'm having real trouble when I try to use the IOS emulator from the visual studio. So I created a hello world app in VS using xamarin (latest stable version), I set the project as main project, and When I refresh the connexion with the mac, I can't select the device that should be shown in the selectList. The message is "No device attached" :

And if I try to use xamarin studio on the host mac, all is okay, the sample app builds on the iphone emulator:

Thanks to help me !

Answer 1

I know this question has already been answered, but i found it when i had a problem, and it did not help... but i did find the solution:

Under the debugging menu in VS2012, click on Configuration Manager

make sure that iPhone Simulator (or iPad, if you want) is set...

Default seems to be looking for a physical device...

hope this helps.

Answer 2

Are you sure the device is connected to the Mac and not the Windows machine? Have you tried debugging from that same device from Xamarin Studio on the Mac?
