Known issues in .NET10
This document lists known issues in the SDKs.
It's currently not possible to run a mobile app (iOS, tvOS) on Windows using the command line. Please use an IDE to launch apps from Windows.

When:
- Building remotely from Visual Studio (on Windows).
- Building for the simulator.
- The remote mac is an ARM64 machine.
Visual Studio will build using the iossimulator-arm64 RuntimeIdentifier.
For some projects this may not work correctly (in particular projects that depend on third-party native libraries that don't provide an iossimulator-arm64 version of their library), and for those cases it's possible to make Visual Studio build using iossimulator-x64 instead, by setting the following property in the project file:
<PropertyGroup>
<ForceSimulatorX64ArchitectureInIDE>true</ForceSimulatorX64ArchitectureInIDE>
</PropertyGroup>This is supported starting in Visual Studio 17.7 preview 3.
If the build fails with an error like this:
No simulator runtime version from [<DVTBuildVersion 21C62>, <DVTBuildVersion 21E213>, <DVTBuildVersion 21F79>] available to use with iphonesimulator SDK version <DVTBuildVersion 22A3362>
or:
The operation couldn't be completed. Failed to locate any simulator runtime matching options: { ... }
Then the problem is that the necessary iOS platform support isn't installed on the macOS machine.
The fix is to open Xcode, go to the menu "Xcode (top left) -> Settings -> Components", and make sure the platform component for the latest iOS version is installed (iOS 18 in this case, in Xcode 16.0):
