Deploying MAUI app on iOS Device throws error : ASN1 corrupted data.

[ot-ashish-jain]

Description

I am trying to deploy my MAUI app (.Net7) on iPhone (iOS 17.4) but it throws error : ASN1 corrupted data. Even with a blank new app the same issue occurs. When I try to deploy the Xamarin app using the same provisioning profile it works fine. This issue started occurring when I updated the Visual Studio for Mac to 17.6.10. I was able to deploy MAUI app before the update.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a blank MAUI app
2. Try to run it on iPhone

I am using Visual Studio for Mac 2022 (17.6.10), can you try to reproduce on that?

[ot-ashish-jain]

Hi @ot-ashish-jain. We have added the "s/try-latest-version" label to this issue, which indicates that we'd like you to try and reproduce this issue on the latest available public version. This can happen because we think that this issue was fixed in a version that has just been released, or the information provided by you indicates that you might be working with an older version.

You can install the latest version by installing the latest Visual Studio (Preview) with the .NET MAUI workload installed. If the issue still persists, please let us know with any additional details and ideally a reproduction project provided through a GitHub repository.

This issue will be closed automatically in 7 days if we do not hear back from you by then - please feel free to re-open it if you come back to this issue after that time.

Could you provide link to download Visual Studio for Mac (Preview)?

Can't repro this issue at iOS device(iOS17.4.1) on the latest 17.6.10(build 428)(.NET SDK:7.0.314).

Could you also try using .NET 8? Also, could you try deploying a .NET iOS App that doesn't implement that MAUI UI Framework? You can do that by running dotnet new ios from the command line. I have a feeling you'll have a similar issue with deploying any .NET iOS app, not just one from the MAUI Template.

I tried to deploy using Windows machine and I was able to run the app on iPhone. When I use the same Developer certificate and provisioning profile on Mac I get ASN1 corrupted data issue. I have tried this on three different Mac systems and I get the same issue.
