Debugger Disconnects Shortly After Deploying

[adamzucchi]

Type: Bug

On iOS (both physical device (12 Pro Max) and simulator) and on a physical Android device (Pixel 4) when choosing 'Run and Debug' the app gets deployed to the device and shortly after the app being deployed and on the app startup splash screen the debugger disconnects.

@adamzucchi Is this a MAUI application?

[adamzucchi]

Yup.

Hi @adamzucchi, does it happen with a specific MAUI app or with any app? If it's with a specific app, is there any chance that you can privately share it with us?
Thanks

[adamzucchi]

Unfortunately I am unable to share the project. I have however continued to test and have discovered the following:

• This current issue/ticket was created when running the latest pre-release versions of the .NET MAUI, C# Dev Kit, and C# Visual Studio Code extensions (and for iOS specifically I was running Xcode 15.2 as Xcode 15.3 didn't work at all)
• I have since gone to the stable release versions of .NET MAUI, C# Dev Kit, and C# Visual Studio Code extensions and with Xcode 15.2 I can build, deploy, and debug as expected

So I guess a couple of remaining questions,

1. Are we developers no longer needing to run the pre-release versions of the above mentioned Visual Studio Code extensions and can now run the stable released versions? (Early feedback was to use the pre-release versions)
2. Are we developers able to run Xcode 15.3 and target the latest iOS SDKs, or are we still recommended to stay back a version?

Thanks!

Thanks @adamzucchi.
The advantage of using pre-release is that you will get updates, fixes and improvements more frequently (it depends on the extension though). If you noticed that a pre-release broke your experience, it would be good to know which extension, so we can take a look and fix it.
If you can share the content of the .NET MAUI output pane, the debug console and the build output, we can try to see if there's any hint about your issue.
That said, you are not forced to use pre-release.

Regarding Xcode, 15.3 is still not fully supported by the iOS SDK, so we recommend to stick with 15.2 and iOS 17.2 simulators until the iOS SDK finishes the work to be fully compatible.

Thanks
