It still isn't great, but this has (so far) always worked for me. try the above steps one more time (this time you should only have to close Visual Studio for Mac followed by manually starting the Simulator, waiting for it to start, and then quitting the Simulator and finally restarting Visual Studio for Mac). Now close the Simulator (from the Simulator menu).

Launch the Simulator manually (I have it in the Dock, so I just click it). If you can't run a Xamarin App, Close Visual Studio for Mac. either on the Mac itself or on another computer connected to the Mac (if any).

Ĭlose ALL copies of Visual Studio that are connected to the Mac. So hare's something I found works that you might want to try. So, at first, I started clearing the cache with a ' xcrun simctl erase all' command from Terminal, and when Iįor Mac I could run a Xamarin App, but launching the simulator took quite a bit of time. it ends up being simpler and quicker than anything else I have found.

but you may just want to go down to the Addendum 2 (final?) and see if that works for you. You are welcome to read through all of this. 'The targetĬould not be added because it's already cached'. For Mac logs, specifically the IDE log, I found this line.
