Error in publishing maui ios app because Code signing must be enabled to create an Xcode archive-CodePudding

I am trying to publish an ios app using a remote mac. Unfortunately I encountered this issue and not sure how to enable the code signing as per requested. How to solve for it? Thank you in advance. The references to publish the app is referred from microsoft website. I also already delete the csproj.user.

C:\Users\salazar\source\repos\OcrSolution\OcrSolution>dotnet publish -f:net6.0-ios -c:Release
MSBuild version 17.4.0 18d5aef85 for .NET

  All projects are up-to-date for restore.

This is my .csproj file. I set everything including host and password in my csproj file

CodePudding user response：

There is a typo in server address that causes the issue. No wonder a brand new project work flawlessly. For further reference if anyone encountered the same issues, you may check for any typo in your .csproj file

 <ServerAddress>xxx</ServerAddress>

Thank you
