I have a bunch of apps that launch just fine. One that doesn't and it was downloaded from the Microsoft website when going through the Azure tutorial. When debugging on the iphonesimulator on a remote mac I get:




error HE0046: Failed to install the app
'com.xamarin.sample.smallmobileapp' on the device 'iOS 11.3 (15E217) -
iPad Air 2': lstat of
/Users/monsieur/Library/Caches/Xamarin/mtbs/builds/smallmobileapp.iOS/01bbf475e45afc9c75bdb4bb54d7386e/bin/iPhoneSimulator/Debug/smallmobileappiOS.app
failed: No such file or directory 0




I navigated to the folder and found:



error pic



I have tried deleting obj/ bin files, resetting the ios provisioning, cleaning the solution /rebuilding. NothingJust a a know jerk reaction but I realise it's a prob mac side.



Any ideas how best to fix this? thanks!

          Redeployed to iphonesimulator.



          All good! Looked into the no entry sign on top of files, looks like it's got something to do with access. Kids use the mac so maybe I inadvertently did the first build under a different account. Anyway, all good now.
