I can confirm I manually removed the line where SessionId is set as instructed in this comment https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/issues/18308#issuecomment-1559808140 and after restarting Visual Studio I am able to build and deploy the repro project and my regular project.

For anyone else encountering the error “The connection cannot continue because the remote iOS SDK was not found or is corrupted” when connecting to the mac:

In my case it was caused by having removed “net7.0-ios” from csproj TargetFrameworks (because I was working mostly on Android at the time). Adding it back made VS install all the dependencies and connect successfully.

Would be nice if VS detected this condition and gave an appropriate error (csproj no configured for iOS).
