xamarin-macios XCode 16 stores provisioning profiles in new location

Provisioning profiles are no longer located in ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles/. The directory is not necessarily wiped during Xcode update but it's no longer updated from the Xcode UI. The new location is ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/Provisioning Profiles.

Any code that probes the location should be updated.

I found only this one so far: https://github.com/xamarin/Xamarin.MacDev/blob/94c2c8c9884d14eee5eb2ffa93707638c314ad9a/Xamarin.MacDev/MobileProvision.cs#L60

You could either copy the provisioning profiles into the old location or you could delete the old location and make it a symlink to the new location (not on a mac right now, so the paths might be reversed):

ln -s ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning\ Profiles ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/Provisioning\ Profiles

We need to bump Xamarin.MacDev in xamarin-macios before we can close this (in progress already).

Yea, that seemed to get auto-closed by GitHub rules

Fixed in https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/pull/21010.

Thanks for the tip, this helped alot. For others the original is backwards.

ln -s ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/Provisioning\ Profiles ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning\ Profiles
