I work from home and for my job I am using Visual Studio 2022 on Windows paired to a MacinCloud running Big Sur using my company's Apple Developer account for Xamarin development.

In the evenings, I'm playing with MAUI so I'm running the Visual Studio 2022 "Preview" version and I have my own Apple Developer account and my own separate MacinCloud running Monterey.

When I open Visual Studio (either version) it looks like it just tries to pair to the last Mac I used and then it also tries to install updated SDK's etc. if necessary.

How do I manage this? Ideally I want to stop it from auto-pairing and then choose the correct Mac each time.

Thanks in advance,

Paul Lonsdale.

You can open Tools - Options - Xamarin - iOS Settings on Visual Studio on Windows computer. On the Pair to Mac dialog window select "Forget this connection" (right click context menu on the connection).

This isn't really an answer but a workaround. The issue only really happens when both macs are running which is rarely the case. I will, in future, make sure that only the mac I need for the project I am working on is up and running. That way even if VS tries to connect to the other one it will fail.
