Xamarin Hot Restart - Debug iOS App on local device

Issue

Is there a way to debug an iOS app developed in Visual Studio with Xamarin Hot Restart for free (without the $99 subscription to the Apple Developer program) on my own Iphone.

Solution

To be clear, it's not possible to use Xamarin Hot Restart when you don't have the Apple Developer account and paid Apple Developer Program enrollment.

Here are the requirements below when using Xamarin Hot Restart:

• Visual Studio 2019 version 16.5 or higher
• iTunes (Microsoft Store or 64-bit versions)
• Apple Developer account and paid Apple Developer Program enrollment

You can refer to this docs for more details.
