XAML Hot Reload for IOS Device not starting on Windows or MacBook Visual Studio 2019

I have a Xamarin Forms project that I am opening in an IOS Simulator. My Windows 10 PC is connected on the same network to my MacBook. But after the IOS Simulator shows up this message appears in the Debug Console:

[HotReload] (2020-05-30 01:00:03.2): INFO: XAML Hot Reload encountered a problem and failed to start. Use Help -> Report a Problem if the issues persists. [HotReload] (2020-05-30 01:00:03.2): INFO: Stopping All Hot Reload sessions due to Failed ... [HotReload] (2020-05-30 01:00:03.2): INFO: (Xamarin Testing.iOS) Stopped Hot Reload session due to Failed ... [HotReload] (2020-05-30 01:00:03.2): INFO: Stopped Hot Reload session.

I have tried running Hot Reload on just the Mac to no avail. Additionally, all the setup should be right, as I've double-checked all the correct options are ticked.

Does anyone know why the Hot Reloader isn't running?

IOS version 12 seems to not work with hot reload. I now just use IOS version 13 and Xamarin.Forms NuGet package version > 4.5.0.356

Welcome to SO !

First , have a check with Tools -> Options... -> Xmarin ->Hot Reload -> Enable ...

enter image description here

Second , you need to check whether Xaml code contains error when debugging .
