Trying to remote build on Mac from Windows any help with these errors?

Just trying to see if I can get this to work. iOS (out of the box Handheld AR template project) through 4.19.2 though I am on Windows 10. Trying to use the Remote Build options with my iMac which has XCode 9.4. Cert and Provs are valid.

I followed some of the documentation guides for this as well as this guide and even more throughout the forums.

Any tips would be appreciated.

Is it maybe related to this issue with number format/locale settings on the remote mac?

you need to install latest sierra and latest xcode, in that order.

Thanks for the tip. I’ll give it a shot and update the post if it works or not.
