- Visual Studio 2019 opens a network connection to a Mac build host and uses the build tools on that machine to compile and sign the iOS app. There is no need to run a separate application on the Mac – Visual Studio 2019 invokes Mac builds securely over SSH.

- I have developed an IOS App using Xamarin.Form From Visual Studio 2017 on Windows 10 and a mac book is connected in same network. I have also purchase an Apple Developer Program Account. My ios app is running perfectly in IOS Simulator. Now i want to publish ios app to AppStore.
I have already tried your suggested link. but when i build No installed provisioning profiles match the installed iOS signing identities. Error throw and i have already setup all signing identites. so i want to know is it reqired Iphone Device to publish or not.
I did follow all the guidelines in this link : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/ios/deploy-test/app-distribution/app-store-distribution/?tabs=vsmac
IOS App Freezes When Using ARKit and AR Reference Image 0 Solution Getting error, Failed to obtain Profile Information from the build server. Please, check the connectivity with the Mac build host. 1 Solution Unable to load Android and iOS Projects (needs migration/incompatible). Once you've connected Visual Studio to your Mac, set the iOS project as the startup project, change the config from Debug to iPhone, and press F5 to compile and deploy to your device. When in doubt, select iPhoneSimulator instead of iPhone.
To answer of your specific question regarding for provision profile, I don't have any issue what so ever regarding for distribute provision profile. Following steps to be consider , hope it helps:
Mac machine :
--> Make sure created signing certificate through your xcode-> preferences -> Manage certificates -> iOS Distribution/ iOS App store
--> Once distributed provision profile generated through your apple account, download it on your mac machine and make sure double click on it
--> You can now see your distribute certificate in your Keychain access --> Certificate section if above steps properly followed
Visual Studio Iphone App
Visual studio 2017 :
--> Once above things done on your mac, check following guideline :
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/ios/deploy-test/app-distribution/app-store-distribution/?tabs=vswin#selecting-a-distribution-profile-in-a-xamarinios-project
--> From above link , in your info.plist use same bundle id that you have used in your apple account while creating App IDs
--> in VS, check iOS Bundle signing --> select manual provision --> Select Distribution(Automatic) but not Developer(Automatic)--> Select your provision profile in drop down option that you have created in your apple account
--> make sure iOS Debug --> Enable Debugging set to false
