Since this new version, the app il not working fine on iOS: all custom fonts are not loaded when the app is opened from testflight

I installed latest version of Visual Studio 2022 (17.0.2).
Created a brand new Xamarin.Forms project.
Wanted to test AppCenter Analytics and Crashes.
Added following line of code in OnStart event of App.Xaml.cs
AppCenter.Start("android={android key};" +
"ios={iOS key}",
typeof(Analytics), typeof(Crashes));
Installed Microsoft.AppCenter.Analytics and Microsoft.AppCenter.Crashes nuget packages in all three (shared, android, iOS) projects.
Works fine in Android..
Crashes on this line in iOS. I am trying to debug in iPhone physical device using hot restart. When I remove the above line it works just fine.
I tried this on multiple computers but no luck.

How to run a mvvmcross Xamarin.Form app on an emulator

I am trying emulators to run the app TipCalc and I don't get it. I am working with Visual Studio 2017. Which emulator can I use to run an application Xamarin.Forms and it uses mvvmcross?
I want to build an app for iOS and Android.
For Android:
First, you need Accelerating Android emulators on Windows. Please choose Hyper-V or HAXM to acclerate your Android emulator.
Then, you could launch Android emulator form VS Tools --> Android --> Android Device Manager.
For iOS:
You must have a Mac to do Xamarin.iOS development. The Mac is required for building as well as running the iOS simulator.
If you already has a Mac, you just need Pair to Mac for Xamarin.iOS Development and build your Xamarin.iOS project.

Xamarin - iOS is always building same version

I'm working on a multi OS app in Xamarin Forms, for Android and iOS.
Everything's fine with android compilation and deploy, but it's not that easy on iOS.
Visual Studio still deploy the same version again and again, like it's stuck somewhere in past.
Is there a cache to clean somewhere? The iOS app is displaying labels which are no more in my code, so it's probably a cache issue.
I tryied to clean the whole solution, in vain.
I deploy on a macOS virtual machine, hosted with VMware workstation. VS and xcode are installed on it.
There is an example of same page displayed in ios and android..

You need to make sure you have the preview of VS 2017 15.3 and go to the Alpha channel in Xamarin.
If Xamarin Live Player is still not showing up in the Device selection list after following #MilkBottle steps, you may need to go to Tools > Options > Xamarin > Other - and select "Enable Xamarin Live Player".
