YesterdayI updated my Visual Studio and Xcode. Immediately afterward I lost any listing of available iOS simulators for my Xamarin project in Visual Studio. I can plug my iPhone in however and deploy my project onto it just fine, but I'm used to working with Preview in VS and also running a simulator for quicker response.

Now Visual Studio shows the only available simulator as being the Generic Simulator with a hammer, which doesn't launch anything that I can tell. When I look at the list to choose a simulator I see the message line: "Lower the 'Deployment Target' to see older simulators or check your Apple SDK path"


When I launch a test project directly from within Xcode, it offers iPhone 8, 8+, 11, 11 Pro and others as available simulators and those indeed work. In Visual Studio I have changed each Deployment Target from 6.0 to 12.2 and not one of those makes available any simulators.


After trying a bunch of suggestions, this simple fix worked for me. First I changed my deployment target in the info.plist from 9.3 to 11. After checking that my Apple SDK path in VS was pointing at Xcode11 and the iOS SDK version on my Mac was 13.0, I simply force quit Visual Studio and Restarted my computer. Then I began to see iPhone8 & iPhone11 simulators. Goodluck.


Ran into this issue many times for the last updates. Nothing really helped, until I came across a Microsoft forum where someone mentioned the Apple SDK path needs a trailing slash, which is not added when using the Browse button to navigate to the Apple SDK Location.


I resolved the issue as well by going under the Visual Studio --> Check for Updates menu and switching the channel to "Xcode 11 Previews". Finally some updates were available and I updated everything normally. I also updated everything in the "Stable" and "Preview" channels as well. Now I have iPhone 8 and iPhone 11 simulators working, however I no longer have any of the other simulators like iPhone 7, etc. like I did before.


I had the same problem when the iOS 14 updates were first installed. I had already installed both XCode and VS updates.What I did is: I restarted the Mac and I had to install the XCode Command-line tools from VS separately. Then the simulators were visible.


After plugging in my physical phone with the usb cable, the list of simulator devices appeared in like 2 seconds... Before plugging in my phone, only the generic simulator and my phone were shown as deployment options


Unbeatable ALL-INCLUSIVE home golf simulator studio package. High-quality materials (built with safety in mind), easy-to-setup & affordable. Includes impact screen, enclosure, mats, side barriers, and projector. Available in 4 different sizes.


These packages offer 4 size packages that can be adapted to any available space in your house, making it easier than ever before to practice and perfect your game. Whether you're a scratch golfer looking to stay sharp, or a weekend warrior looking to have more fun, these packages have everything you need to get started.


Our impact screens are made of the highest-quality materials and offers some of the best noise-dampening in the industry! Plus balls will roll right back out to you after impact, making for a seamless experience.


Plus the hitting mat is built for comfort & safety, made from a long, dense fiber system which reduces harmful impact to your joints and creates a real-life feel. Contains 32mm knitted nylon turf, a 3mm urethane stabilizing layer and 14mm foam base for added comfort and stability.


Plus, our team guarantees you'll love the studio setup! You can try it out for 30 days and if you don't absolutely love it, you can return it. Return shipping fees will apply for studio returns, but no restocking fees.


As for the length & width of your space - the main consideration is around the launch monitor you choose. Some launch monitors sit behind you (like the FlightScope Mevo+ and Garmin Approach R10) and require a certain amount of distance to the screen. Others (like the SkyTrak+ and Bushnell Launch Pro) sit directly to the side and require a few feet of space width-wise.


Our Baltimore-based team has a mission not just to simply satisfy each customer, but rather to create the most magical online shopping experience each of our customers has ever had. We call it Customer Delight.


If you're one of those lucky folks who already own a launch monitor and are now on the hunt for the final pieces to complete your ultimate golf simulator setup, then you've come to the right place. Prepare to swing into awesomeness as we unveil the best golf simulator studios featuring nets, mats, and screens from the top manufacturers in the industry that will turn your home into a golfing oasis.


I have found a much easier way to do this by simply setting up Visual Studio to use the simulator in debugging. Please see this thread for how to do that. This is actually preferable to simply launching the simulator when building, since it allows you to use debugging features like setting breakpoints in your code.


When I was playing around with the SDK and using the C API in Visual Studio 2019, I started getting annoyed that every time I wanted to build the project I had to manually close the simulator if it was already running the project (this would cause an error in the building process) and then manually reopen it to test the changes. I spent the a decent amount of time finding a way to make Visual Studio do these actions for me, and now I want to share them with the rest of you, since this is the kind of thing that really streamlines the development process.


Visual Studio has what are known as Build Events. These are categorized as Pre-Build, Pre-Link, and Post-Build. The first and last one of these are the ones that matter for this situation. To view these events, you can right-click the main project (the one that builds the DLL) and view its Properties, from there you can expand the section for Build Events.


This is the event that's going to make it so that, if the simulator is running, it will be closed before building the project. The reason we have to do this is because if the simulator is currently accessing the .pdx folder, Visual Studio complains and errors out, since accessing that folder is part of its build process.


The easiest way I found to kill the simulator is with a batch file. Go to the place where you have installed the SDK, and go to the bin folder. In here, make a new file called kill_simulator.bat and copy-paste the following inside of it.


When you go to the Command Line field of the Post-Build Event, you're probably going to see a bunch of commands that had been auto-generated by CMake. Don't touch any of them, since this will most likely mess up the build process. Instead, click on the little arrow that lets you expand a drop-down menu and choose "Edit"


After this, you should be all good to go. Now whenever you go to build your project, the simulator will auto-close, and come back as soon as it's had a successful build. Because the simulator will default to reopening whatever .pdx folder it was last running, you now have a really quick way to reload the simulator with your latest changes.


Thanks for this! I was having similar issues with having to close and open the simulator after building. However, I am using CLion on Windows instead of Visual Studio. I couldn't really figure out how to set this up exactly in CLion, but upon researching I found that you can get identical behavior just by using CMake pre-build and post-build commands. Just add this to the end of your CMake file:


The only downside is this bypasses the IDE you are using, so it won't detect when the exe is running. This is also not useful for using the debugger since you need to launch the simulator from the IDE for that. However, for quickly testing changes to your code this makes things much easier.


On Mac you can do /usr/bin/open -a "path/to/Playdate Simulator.app" "path/to/Game.pdx". I like the way this repository sets up the VS Code launch configuration: GitHub - cadin/playdate-vscode-template: VS Code template with tasks for building and running in Playdate simulator.


One of the most important points in the development have been the models. The avatars look extremely real and harmonize perfectly with the new light calculation. Hait, make-up and clothing is changeable.


I cannot recommend Set.a.Light enough for photographers of all skill levels. Whether trying out new lighting techniques or perfecting your existing skills, this program is essential for sharpening your skills.


Not only is Set.a.Light perfect for storyboarding and visualizing your lighting setups, but it also takes the guesswork out of lighting for clients. Simulating various lighting scenarios allows me to show my clients exactly what to expect on the day of the shoot. This gives me 100% confidence when showing up on set, knowing I can deliver the lighting setups I promised.


For the planning of a filmproduction and the setdesign of each scene, lighting is of central importance. So that the lighting settings and the lighting design can be adopted directly on the film set, we have also extended our unique real light simulation for the continuous lights and practicals. We have researched for a long time to make this possible! We worked with cinematographers and Gaffer to find the best solutions.


Several changes can be made directly at the flash inside the studio now. Just one click away, in the revised settings panel, you can change the light shaper, add a honeycomb grid or swap a flash head. With this small but powerful feature we can further optimize your workflow.
