Since it was released a little more than a year ago, Visual Studio 2017 for Mac has grown from being an IDE primarily focused on mobile application development using Xamarin to one that includes support for all major.NET cross-platform workloads including Xamarin, Unity, and.NET Core. I updated Xcode to the newest version, 8.3.2, but it doesn’t seem to solve the problem. It works just fine with the distant simulator, until I try to build on a remote device.

- Visual Studio For Mac Tutorial
In November, we announced Visual Studio for Mac, a fully featured IDE that we hope will help every Mac developer create mobile and cloud applications. We started with a solid foundation for mobile development using Xamarin, and cloud development using .NET Core.
Over the past few months we have been working on porting C# code that was originally designed to work on Windows to the Mac. Luckily for us, the architecture of Visual Studio is so good that reusing the code has been a breeze. This has been helped by both the love and dedication that our Mac and Windows teams have, to create a great developer experience for our users.
Here are some of the changes that we have made since then.
Web Editing
In the latest release, we have completed the work to bring the rich HTML, CSS and JSON editors to macOS. You will get the same code completion, indentation behavior, and validation that you get on Windows for those file formats. When you install the update today, you will get to enjoy the glory of an IDE with a state-of-the-art web editor.
.NET Core
Visual Studio For Mac
We have polished and improved our .NET Core and ASP.NET Core support to make it even simpler to create your server code, either for your standalone web sites, or as a service backend for your mobile applications or your hosted services.
We have upgraded our debugger to make async debugging as natural and simple as regular code – just like you expect from Visual Studio on Windows.
Azure Publish
To complement our improved .NET Core support, you can now publish your applications directly to Azure from within Visual Studio for Mac. Using the same publishing profiles and commands that you are used to.
C# 7
We also introduced support for C# 7.0, a big upgrade with many language improvements that you will love. The support is what you expect from Visual Studio with refactoring tools, live code checking and great IntelliSense.
It is hard to pick favorite features in C# 7. I love pattern matching and I love the new native tuple support. Local functions, while not immediately obvious, has made some of my own code simpler and cleaner.
Support for the latest Apple and Google platforms
As you have come to expect from us, we deliver first-class support for the latest versions of Apple and Google operating systems – including the just updated versions of macOS, iOS, tvOS and watchOS.
Additionally, we are taking away some of the complexity involved in managing the signing certificates and provisioning profiles for your Apple-based applications, by integrating with the popular open source Fastlane project.
Accessibility
Visual Studio now integrates with Apple’s macOS accessibility platform. We are committed to making the entire IDE accessible and we are very happy with the first steps that we have taken in this space.
Testing
I hope that you take some time to try out the new features in Visual Studio for Mac and share your experiences with us. My team is committed to delivering developer tools that delight developers. We want to hear from you, and find out what parts of the experience can be improved and how we can make you more effective mobile and cloud developers.
If you already have Visual Studio for Mac Preview installed, make sure you update to the latest version from within the app. If you haven’t tried out a preview yet, head on over to VisualStudio.com to download the latest one.
Visual Studio
Use Visual Studio for Mac’s “Report a Problem” or “Provide a Suggestion” dialog (within the Help menu) to provide feedback. Also, don’t forget about our Visual Studio and Visual Studio for Mac community forums, which provide a great place to leave feedback and learn from other developers.
Enjoy!

When I log in my apple id account on Visual Studio Mac Community 2017, teams doesn't show up.Do I have to have a paid apple developer account to use this?
There are no team displayed, and the button 'View Details...' doesn't do anything.Also, the icon on the left side of the account is a smiley face icon and it should be a user icon in the official tutorial.
Screenshot:
While it works perfectly on Xcode:
Environments:
- Xcode commandline installed.
- Fastlane installed.
What troubleshooting I have already done:
- Reinstall Fastlane.
- Use other accounts (none of them worked).
- Use Xcode to log in (screenshot above).
- Try to find anyone had the same problem online and didn't find any.
Microsoft Visual Studio For Mac

In case of a personal free account, teams won't appear in VS but will appear in XCode. Every time you need to generate new provision you have to:
- open XCode with some kind of test project
- set the targeted bundle id in plist (this step is important as long as provision is tightly coupled with the bundle id)
- deploy to a device from XCode, it will generate all the required cert/profiles and saves on the Mac
- go to VS, make you your bundle id in the real app is the same youjust generated provision for
- hit run on a device - itshould work just fine
Visual Studio For Mac Os
Alexey StrakhAlexey StrakhIf you are trying with the free account, teams won't appear in VS but you can see in Xcode. Follow the below step to test the application in the device.
- Open Xcode with some kind of test project.
- Set the targeted bundle id in plist.
- Select the respected team and choose automatic provisioning profile. It will generate all the required cert/profiles and saves on the Mac
- Deploy the app in device from Xcode.
- Go to VS, use the same Bundle ID which we used in Xcode to run the app.
- Hit run on a device - it should work just fine.
Ios Provision Profile Visual Studio For Mac Not Showing Up
To fix this for me, In Visual Studio for Mac, I:
- Opened info.plist
- Set option to manually provision
- Click on bundle signing options button
- Go to the IOS Bundle Signing category
- Clear out the file listed in the “Custom Entitlement” field.

Note: This does not answer the question as to why the original poster’s personal team (used with unpaid developer account) does not show up in Visual Studio for Mac BUT it does solve the problem for why you want you unpaid developer team account to show up (for delvelopment!). Which is inherently why original poster asked the question.
