VS solutions/projects can be renamed. If a Xamarin solution/projects are copied and the copies renamed, can the renamed IOS project be deployed to a device with the original version present and be functional?

Hi MarcGeorge-6477,
Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!
In iOS, you can set a unique identifier "Bundle ID" for each app. Refer to the document: Bundle IDs.
This means that no two applications can have the same bundle identifier.
So you just need to go to Info.plist and modify the Bundle Identifier to ensure that the two projects have different Bundle IDs.

Regards,
Kyle

!@KyleWang-MSFT The piece of info I was most likely looking for. Yesterday, I made the copy and renamed the solution & projects. I also change the assembly name which appears to control the app icon verbiage. The results were a write over. It was too late. So I reversed the renaming. I figured there was something more.
I will try your suggestion soon as I am trying to setup a separate development environment across the systems without having to have two devices for testing each platform, just a few changes. My experience with simulators has been poor.
