Q:

No devices attached in xamarin VisualStudio for ios

I'm having real trouble when I try to use the IOS emulator from the visual studio. So I created a hello world app in VS using xamarin (latest stable version), I set the project as main project, and When I refresh the connexion with the mac, I can't select the device that should be shown in the selectList. The message is "No device attached" :

And if I try to use xamarin studio on the host mac, all is okay, the sample app builds on the iphone emulator: 

Thanks to help me !

A:

I know this question has already been answered, but i found it when i had a problem, and it did not help... but i did find the solution: 
Under the debugging menu in VS2012, click on Configuration Manager 

make sure that iPhone Simulator (or iPad, if you want) is set... 

Default seems to be looking for a physical device...
hope this helps.

A:

Are you sure the device is connected to the Mac and not the Windows machine? Have you tried debugging from that same device from Xamarin Studio on the Mac?

A:

Had the same problem. Issue was when i loaded my solution, visual studio 2012 decided to choose a library project as the 'Startup project'.
Rt Clicked the ios project, chose 'Set as StartUp Project' and the device list was populated.
P.S: Visual Studio you should be old enough to figure this out by now.
