To reproduce my issue follow these steps:
- Visual Studio 2017 Community - version 15.4.4
- Visual Studio Tools for Apache Cordova - version 15.120.6728.2
- Create a Blank App (Apache Cordova)
- Changed config.xml -> Cordova Toolset -> Global Cordova 7.1.0
- Install all the required software on MAC
- Configure Remote Agent Configuration in VS Options
- Start Debugging - Debug mode - iOS platform - Remote Device
This is the result:
