In Xcode's (version 16.1) "Devices and Simulators" window pressing the device's context menu item "Show Provisioning Profiles..." does nothing: no new window, no message, nothing. How can I fix this?
Show device's provisioning profiles
I am having the same problem with 16.1

This seems to be a known bug (FB7791261). On my machine it works in Xcode 15.4 but fails in Xcode 16 and later (including the currently seeded 16.2b3).

Still present with 16.2
here too. Bug still exists - confirming for latest Version 16.2 (16C5032a)
I still have this problem with Xcode 26! Is there any solution for this?
I still have this problem with Xcode 26!
That gels with my reading of this bug’s state (FB7791261).

Solution to what?
This bug prevents you from seeing the device’s profiles, but that doesn’t prevent you from developing. In the standard development workflow your app’s provisioning profile is embedded in the app itself, so this view is irrelevant. If the app is installed, it’s profile is installed.

I does prevent me from developing because I am using Maui on a PC and not Xcode. I created the provisioning profile (.mobileprovision) on the Apple Developer Website and downloaded it to my MAC but I cannot install it which leads to deployment failure from my Visual Studio on my PC. Also it is clearly still a bug in Xcode 26 (18 shows the same problem on my Mac).

Absolutely. There’s no argument about that.
which leads to deployment failure from my Visual Studio on my PC.
With Xcode, you don’t need to explicitly install the profile because the system picks it up from the embedded.mobileprovision file embedded within the built app. I don’t know enough about how Visual Studio builds and installs apps to offer any insight into why that’s not working for it. My advice is that you escalate this via the support channel for that tooling.
ps It’s better to reply as a reply, rather than in the comments; see Quinn’s Top Ten DevForums Tips for this and other titbits.
