I have several projects written in .NET MAUI using .NET 9.0 and for some reason since this week the list of devices in Visual Studio 2022 is empty. Normally, in this popup I would see my two physical Android devices which are connected via USB and my test iPhone also connected via USB. Not even the emulators or the iOS remote device (the developer Mac connected via network) are listed.
I have made no changes to either the mobile devices or Visual Studio when the problem appeared. I have done extensive research and there have been similar issues in the past with specific Visual Studio versions, but the last big one was over a year ago.
Here is an excerpt of what I have tried so far:
- Made sure the correct workloads are installed for Visual Studio 2022 and that the components are all updated.
- Enabled Hyper-V as Windows hardware feature.
- Verified that my hardware acceleration is enabled.
- Made sure that developer mode on all connected devices is enabled and plugged all devices out and back in.
- Used the repair option for Visual Studio 2022 to reset all of its configurations and settings to defaults.
- Restarted the computer.
My Android devices do show up in Android Studio, but Visual Studio is completely empty and I struggle to figure out why.
Any feedback is welcomed!
