Unable to deploy Share Extension to iOS simulator

[bptouchette]

I've been trying to make the iOS share extension work with maui for a while now but encountered a road block when it comes to deploying the share extension to an iOS simulator.

I'm using Visual Studio 2022 17.5.0 Preview 3
Paired to a Mac with Xcode 14.2
Visual Studio for Mac latest version
Simulator : iPad (10th generation) iOS 16.2

I've tried my own application, that didn't work.
I've tried the JokeApp project from the MauiSamples and I get the same problem.
I've tried the AppContainer project from the MauiSamples and I get the same problem.

2>------ Deploy started: Project: JokeAppWidget, Configuration: Debug Any CPU ------
2>Please select a valid device before running the application.
2>Deploy failed

JokeAppWidget is experimental and currently doesn't work as expected. AppContainer should work fine.

Unfortunately, I can't make AppContainer work either. Everything builds fine by themselves but I can't seem to deploy to the device.

Can you try it on Mac?

After trying on Visual studio for Mac, I've been able to make AppContainer work and my own app work.
It will be a good plan B for now but I would of love to see this work on Visual Studio on Windows.
I still don't know what's causing the issue. If anyone finds anything I would love to know about it.
Thank you for the help.
