Xamarian deploying to device

I have never deployed an app for texting in a real iOS device, only on an iPhone 7 plus simulator. I've watched some tutorials on how to do it and this is what I have done so far.

I have made an iOS Development Certificate. I made an App id, connected a device and entered the UDID. Then created a new device and at last I have made a Provisioning Profile with the iPhone 7 Device connected. The iOS development certificate connected and the App ID connected. After I did all of that, I continued to watch all the tutorials but there seems to be a change which I can't figure out.

View Detail Button

As you can see, in the picture above there is a view detail button which you click then download your Provisioning Profile to your XCode, but for me there is no View Detail button. Instead it looks something like this.

No View Detail

So unfortunately, I don't know what to do from here. I tried going to Xcode > Window > Devices then right clicked on my device then it looks something like this.

Xcode Windows Devices

So I click Show Provisioning Profiles, press "add" then add my Provisioning Profile. The next thing I did was go back to Xamarian went to info.plist, double clicked it and then entered my Bundle Identifier.

enter image description here

Then right clicked the 2 Calculator file, went down to Options and then set everything up, as you could see in the picture. Then I press run but it doesn't seem to work

Option settings

This error message comes up:

Error Message

I am pretty sure I have done everything right, but there seems to still be an error. The only possible bit I think may have gone wrong is when there wasn't the "view detail" button, so I did it a another way. Maybe the problem is I downloaded the Provisioning Profile on the iOS Device, but not in the Xcode mac or something?

I don't have a clue what I did wrong and have tried everything about 5 times but it still didn't work. It will be great if someone could help.

These are all the Certificate and stuff I did in the App development section.

Not enough reputation to comment, so I am going to take a shot in the dark here. My question to you is, did you download the certificate to your MacBook before or after you added your mobile device to it? Your Mac has to know of which devices you have allowed to develop on, so you need to make sure your .mobileprovision on your Mac has that UDID in it.

You can check if your .mobileprovision is added by looking in "~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles" and sorting by "Date Modified" to see if you have a fresh one updating after you downloaded it from developer.apple.com. Xcode will assign a GUID to the name so the provisioning profile will not have the name displaying on the website.

Also, the error possibly looks certificate related. Is the certificate valid and trusted in your keychain? I noticed no mention of adding the certificate to the "Keychain Access" application.
