Learning about Xamarin

This is not a easy as one would expect, especially if one is working on a Mac.

Trying to an account from the 'Preferences' results in error window asking me to install 'fastlane'

Get the following error without fastlane installed. "To add new accounts install fastlane."

The link points to this page:  Introduction to fastlane for iOS: Installation

Looks like I have an extra hoop to jump through for installing fastlane.

• > brew update
• > brew cask reinstall fastlane

Seems like the 'brew update' is taking a little time to run.  Probably should have done a verbose on the update so I can see what is going on.  Looks like I have not update 'brew' for awhile.

Looks like my .bash_profile might be broke.  

Works fine when starting a terminal window and $PATH now contain fastlane.

Restarting MS Visual Studio

Looking at the following page to determine how.

Still gives the 'fastlane' message even after the restart.

Looks like it is work now but got the following error: 'Error adding account - ...' 'Your session has expired. Please log in.

OK, maybe this is an issue of the not being login recently from VS.  Log out and log in.

Sign out

This didn't work.

Searching the internet.  Looks like it might be a problem with Xcode

This looks like the problem.



Device Provisioning
https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/ios/getting_started/installation/device_provisioning/

I like there explanation of provisioning process.

The real pain point what this.  To fix it I have to delete my account and readd it.

Now it is failing to refresh the provisioning profiles combo.

Looks like I was trying to do this for a iPhoneSimulator

Believe that the problem with the device is that my app doesn't have a provision created for it.
