iOS Simulators: No longer available in Rider on Mac

Problem

The iOS simulators list stopped appearing and remained unavailable in Rider while working on a .NET MAUI project after an upgrade from .NET 9 to .NET 10 and subsequently reverting to .NET 9 did not resolve the issue.

Cause

The issue was traced to duplicate <TargetFramework> entries in the .csproj configuration file, where the entries had slight differences.

Resolution

To resolve this issue:

  1. Open the affected project’s .csproj file in a text editor.
  2. Locate all <TargetFramework> entries in the file.
  3. Ensure there is only one <TargetFramework> entry and that it is correctly specified for the project.
    • Example: <TargetFramework>net6.0-ios</TargetFramework>
  4. Save the changes.
  5. Restart Rider and verify that the iOS simulators appear as expected in the device list.
