iOS ripple interface does not get updated to the latest interface when rebuilding. Android and Windows does but iOS doesn't reflect changes made. i have cleaned both solution and project, deleted bld folder etc, nothing seems to make iOS ripple reflect app changes.
is there something i'm missing?
I've run into the same issue with Android. In order to get it working again, I did the same things you mentioned above and also, in the configuration manager, I set the platform to Android and confirmed that Deploy checkbox is selected for the platform.
what i did to get it to work was to go to my root projects and delete the ios folder in the platform folder. that forced apache cordova to rebuild and it showed me the latest app update

I am using Visual Studio 2019 on Windows, developing an App using Xamarin Forms, for Android and iOS. Everything is the latest version.
I am trying to use Firebase to add Push Notification functionality. I have been able to get this functioning for the Android App, but whatever I do seems to fail / not work for iOS.
I have tried using both Xamarin.Firebase.iOS.CloudMessaging and Plugin.FirebasePushNotification with the same result. Starting from a basic app created in Visual Studio, as soon as I add the basic code for the iOS project, the app stops working and just times out after 17 seconds with running any of the project code (no breakpoints are hit).
I also tried downloading this demo app https://github.com/jfversluis/XFFCMPushNotificationsSample. I created my versions of google-services.json (Android) and GoogleService-Info.plist (iOS). The Android app runs but the iOS app does not (times out after 17 seconds).
Having tried so many different samples, examples, options, etc - I am at a complete loss as to what the issue might be. The situation is not helped by me being new to App development & Xamarin Forms!
I appreciate that I haven't added any "I tried this" code, but I'm hoping someone can help me with debugging this. Visual Studio doesn't appear to show anything, can I get more helpful info from the iPhone?
Edit:
For iOS,
I have created a Key and enabled Apple Push Notifications.
I have uploaded the key to the iOS project in Firebase (Cloud Messaging).
I have downloaded the GoogleService-Info.plist file and added it to the iOS project in Visual Studio, and set it to BundleResource
I have enabled Push Notifications in Entitlements.plist
I have enabled Background Modes & Remote Notifications in Info.plist
I am using Automatic Provisioning
I have checked that Bundle Identifier is correct
I have added FirebaseAppDelegateProxyEnabled to info.plist
EDIT 2:
I have manged to get an error message, which happens during the call to
FirebasePushNotificationManager.Initialize(options, true);
{System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

According the documentation on Xamarin Essentials Preferences. I understand that the preferences will removed when the app is unistalled.
Persistence
Uninstalling the application will cause all Preferences to
be removed. There is one exception to this, which for apps that target
and run on Android 6.0 (API level 23) or later that are using Auto
Backup. This feature is on by default and preserves app data including
Shared Preferences, which is what the Preferences API utilizes.
My question is, when an app is updated on iOS or Andriod is that considered uninstalling and re-installing and the preferences get removed? Or just an install and nothing is removed?
No an uninstall really means an uninstall. So actually remove the app and then reinstall from the store.
An update will retain the preferences.
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..
I'm trying to release an iOS app built using Visual Studio 2015 Cordova Tools. I can deploy to the simulator and to my device just fine. But I can't find where the .ipa file is being created? My bin/iOS/release folder is empty even after cleaning solution, restarting, and rebuilding.
I have not tried with the latest versions, but I never found that I could build a release version from VS for iOS. I always went and opened the project on the Mac with XCode, using the project in the remote-build folder, tweaked the project settings (VS project never seems to allow multiple device orientations, I need to check on the others, choose the correct developer profile, and usually correct the bundle identifier). Then build and submit to app store from XCode as a normal iOS app.
Perhaps the latest versions are better on this, but I doubt you will find the app bundle in your VS solution folders, it would have to be on the Mac.
I have VS2015 and VS2013 installed side-by-side. In VS2013 I have a list of emulators to start my app and it works awesome.
But VS2015 only has device in the list. How do I add the phone emulators to Visual Studio 2015?
UPDATE:
After playing around some more I've dug up some new findings.
Creating a new universal JavaScript project has the same issue
Creating a new universal C# project DOES show a list of emulators.
This worked for me!
Although I had CoreCon\12 and vs2015.3 instead of CoreCon\11 and vs2012
Maybe you could fix this issue by deleting this folder
C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Phone Tools\CoreCon\11.0
Then open VS2012 again.
If not repairing is always recommended

Rerun the installer. Make sure that the desired options are checked (probably either Windows Phone 8.1 Emulator or Microsoft Visual Studio Emulator for Android, you don't say which emulator you are interested in). If in doubt, just check everything.
If you had unloaded your start project, it may not be your start project anymore after reloading. So do a right click -> Set as Startup Project and then hopefully the emulators will reappear.
