IOS Bundle Signing Authentication problem Visual Studio Windows

I am new to xamarin IOS and I couldn't complete automatic provisioning(via IOS Bundle Signing).

I am getting the following error, not sure exactly why this error comes out.

In the Apple developer portal, I have accepted their terms and conditions as well. But I have not filled in the following information yet(Because I am developing free Apps, not the Paid Apps). Is that causing the above error?

Hello,


Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

Because I am developing free Apps, not the Paid Apps). Is that causing the above error?

Yes, it is just the case.

1.From document Automatic Provisioning for Xamarin.iOS ,we could find the following note:

Requirements
Automatic provisioning is available on Visual Studio for Mac, Visual Studio 2019, and Visual Studio 2017 (Version 15.7 and higher).

Note

You must also have a paid Apple Developer account to use this feature. More information on Apple developer accounts is available in the Device Provisioning guide. If you do not have a paid Apple developer account, see the Free Provisioning for Xamarin.iOS guide.

2.And from document Manual provisioning for Xamarin.iOS,we also find that:

Note

The instructions on this page are relevant for developers who have paid access to the Apple Developer Program. If you have a free account, please take a look at the Free provisioning guide for more information about on-device testing.

So, if you have a free account, please take a look at the Free provisioning guide for more information about on-device testing.

Best Regards,

Hello,

Yes, I have a paid developer account. But, with this account, I can develop either Free Apps or Paid Apps.

Currently, I am developing Free Apps, not the paid Apps(because of that I have not filled the information under Paid Apps) but I have a paid developer account and with the help of that only I am able to develop Free Apps.

But now if I fill in the information under Paid Apps. will it resolve the problem?

Thanks in advance.
