I am creating app with Mobile App (Xamarin Forms) for android and ios. When debugging for ios, i came across these issues:

1. When debugging with iphone device( iphone 11), it's app icon and launching screen did not change no matter what changes i did in Asset Catalogs and LaunchScreen.storyboard , which showing as :
   
   
2. When debugging with simulator iphone 14 ios 16.4, app icon will changed together with Asset Catalogs.Assets.AppIcon, but launching screen will always be black sceen.
   3.IOS project created with Mobile App (Xamarin Forms) selection is much different from it created with IOS App(Xamarin) selection in template window.
   no selection in dropdown
   
   no .xib file in Resource

App worked well except for launching screen showing.

Looking at the screenshots it seems you might be using Hot Restart. One of the limitations is that you cannot change the icons or launch screen as documented here: https://learn.microsoft.com/xamarin/xamarin-forms/deploy-test/hot-restart#limitations

Try it through a connected Mac and see if the problem is resolved then. If not, please open a new issue. Thanks!
