What version of Visual Studio are you using? What have you already tried and didn't work? Have you tried on the Simulator or also a physical device? What version of iOS? If you want us to diagnose this properly and help you we're going to need a bit more detail I'm afraid 😄

Thanks!

Hello, I also have the same problem with the iOS splash screen, now I am using vs code but it also gives the problem in visual studio mac. I have everything updated to .net 8, I have done clean installations but nothing.

@Hardikzinzala I was having the same issue as well, and while I was following this tutorial video:

I learned that as of iOS ~16.4 you will NOT be able to see your splash screen on an IOS simulator. Therefore, the code containing your splash screen must be codesigned first before you can view it (for some reason). If you have access to a physical device for testing, that would be your best bet to view it.

So, give that a try and when you have the chance, let us know how that worked out.

We already have a similar issue: xamarin/xamarin-macios#18469. And below is the workaround:
You could add the following to the csproj:

<PropertyGroup>
    <EnableCodeSigning>true</EnableCodeSigning>
    <CodesignRequireProvisioningProfile>true</CodesignRequireProvisioningProfile>
    <DisableCodesignVerification>true</DisableCodesignVerification>
</PropertyGroup>

Hope it helps you.

@QianaJiao
Thank you for your comments, it is only in emulators that the problem is not on physical devices. I'm going to try the solution you shared with me.

@Cr15Denis that sounds right because running on the Simulator by default you app is not signed. On a device it is. So this is the same thing and the proposed workaround should be sufficient for now.
