Ad Hoc Provisioning Profile - xamarin.forms

I am not able to find , where to create Ad Hoc Provisioning Profile ? Can someone please provide me a link from where I can create Ad Hoc Provision profile.I didn't find it on developer.apple.com.

You need to join the Apple developer program to create provisioning profiles (The section on the bottom of your screen shot). Once you register, you will see a link to Certificates, IDentifiers and profiles. From there you can create provisioning profile.

You won't see the certificates, IDs, and Profiles section if you only have a free Apple Developer account (I'm guessing you have the free account?). In order to manage the profiles certs, etc. you will need to sign up for the $99 / year paid developer account.
Once you have a paid account, sign in to developer.apple.com and you should see the "Certificates, IDs, and Profiles" link on the left.
To use Xamarin with a free developer account, see Xamarin's documentation. Note that this only allows you to run on a device, but, again, you cannot do an ad hoc build with the free account.

No Azure subscriptions discovered to provision app resources to

I'm using the VSC Teams Toolkit. But when I sign in to my Azure account to provision my files, it says "No subscriptions discovered" as shown below:
Which subscription should I get to proceed with provisioning the files?
As the information explained, your logged-in Azure account doesn't seem to have associated Azure subscription.
You can login to your Azure portal, and under subscriptions, please check whether you have accessible subscription.
I had the same issue. You really need to go to portal.azure.com -> Subscriptions and have at least 1 subscription listed in the table below.
If no subscription is available, create new one - Pay as you go.
Then, in VS Code - sign out, sign in and subscription will be available
If vscode is complaining about not have an active subscription in the Teams Toolkit extension, for one make sure the tenant id is added to vsocde. See here enter link description here and here enter link description here

Amazon Pay permissions not showing

I have a skill which utilizes Amazon pay and other permissions (user's mobile number email and name, device address, alexa notifications,Skills Personalization).
All permission are visible on the Alexa app/web interface but Amazon pay isn't and on the developer portal all permissions are toggled. Is this a bug or I am missing something ?
this sounds to me like you possibly did not link your Amazon Pay merchant account to the skill. Please check here for guidance on required steps:
https://developer.amazon.com/en-US/docs/alexa/amazon-pay-alexa/integrate-skill-with-amazon-pay-v2.html#link-your-skill-with-your-amazon-payments-account-in-seller-central
There is some caching in place. It might take a while for the permission to show up, once you linked the skill to your merchant account. I'm unfortunately not aware of the cache eviction time.

How to change user in the appmaker editor

I created an App with the GSuite administrator account. But now when I go back I am my work user(rob) and have no access to the App I created.
If I then go to Google and switch accounts there is no issue for all other Google apps(drive, gmail etc) but Appmaker still shows me as rob.
How can I convince App Maker to work like all other Google apps and let me select the logged in user?
Most likely it happens because at this time App Maker doesn't provide users with account chooser widget like most other Google products. Here are some things to try to bypass this limitation:
use different chrome instances for better accounts separation (https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/2364824) - I would highly recommend this approach. I have about 10 different accounts and this feature saves me tons of time and gives peace of mind
use incognito window
log out from other accounts (in theory, when you open AM it will ask you to choose an account and re-login)

Proper workflow for onboarding new customers via API (we're a PMD partner)

We're actively developing our PMD ads management tool. We have a number of customers who want to advertise but don't have a Facebook account of any kind. I have a two part question:
(1) Is their an API/programmatic way for us to create a proper user account for our client so the client can in turn log in to their fresh Facebook account and enter ads payment information? For example, I can imagine an open graph call like this:
createFBUserAccount(f_name:"Joe",l_name:"Smith",email:"joesmith#gmail.com",isbusiness:"false");
or for a person
createFBUserAccount(business_entity_name:"ACME Corp",email:"contact#acmecorp.com",isbusiness:"true");
(2) For users who don't want a Facebook account but still want to advertise on Facebook through us, what is the proper way to create their ads? Let's say this is a business interested in buying External Website ads (or Mobile App Install, or any number of other ad units).
we currently don't have a way to create Ad Accounts through API. The user will have to create an account directly through https://www.facebook.com/advertising.
We also have business accounts (doc: https://www.facebook.com/help/131976240210052)
We require either a user account or business account to advertise with us.
Hope this is helpful.

New PayPal Developer problems

We are trying to test PayPal functionality in a dev environment but it has changed in the last few days and our "dev" login is no longer valid.
It looks like we now have to create sandbox accounts from within an actual registered business account. While this in itself is not a problem (annoying because we have to chase people around to set it up for us), the real problem is that you can't login to sandbox to place a test order without first being logged-in to PayPal Developers with our company's business account.
This is absolutely unacceptable... We, as developers, do not have access to the company's business account.
We also tried adding a user to the business account (with locked-down privileges), but it won't allow us to login to Developers with it.
Can someone please clarify the new process and how we can go about a) setting up sandbox accounts and b) placing test orders via PayPal's sandbox.
You will have to create a live PayPal account in order to log in with your developer account. Once you log in with a PayPal account, you will see an option to import your previous developer account information from the 'application' tab. If the business you are working with does not want to grant you access to log in, you will have to test using your own live account.
Once you have imported your sandbox account information, you should be able to log into any of your test accounts to make test purchases.
