Issue Description

steps:

• use xcode build task to build app (i use an ad-hoc cert/profile)
• publish ipa to a distribution application (firebase/appcenter/...)
• try to install the app on an iOS15 device
• you will receive the notification that the app needs to be updated.

I found this support issue on the developercommunit: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/Cannot-build-Xamarin-app-for-iOS-15/1543795?space=21&q=ios+15

It concludes that there is not enough info. However, it is not possible to build iOS15 without xcode 13. (General rule I found on other forums)

Hi, Is there an ETA for this as we are a bit stuck without this PR being completed?

Hi @furkick, we have already completed the PR for the Xcode task, related changes will be available in the next release. We will update the ticket once these changes will be fully rollout to all Azure DevOps users.

If you need to use Xcode 13 right now, the macOS-11 image uses Xcode 13 by default, which means that you can switch to the macOS-11 image and set the xcodeVersion in the Xcode task as default and as a result, the Xcode task will use Xcode 13 to build the app.

Hi, quick update: the deployment of related changes might be delayed due to Azure DevOps Deployment Freezes.
