Xamarin Forms Debug Build to iPhone from PC Causes Crash - visual-studio

Question

I'm building my first multi-platform app for android and iOS from my PC and have had no issues on the android side. I also have a mac so that I can do the iOS side of things. Set up my Mac via the microsoft guides, have a developer account and did certificates, provisioning, etc.
So I start by running the app on the iPhone 13 pro max simulator iOS 15.2 - works flawlessly. The app requires BLE functionality so obviously I can't test everything in the simulator. So I debug to my actual iPhone 13 Pro Max iOS15.2 that's plugged into my PC. App boots up and immediately the UI looks kind of strange, there are weird information display bugs that aren't present in the simulator - which looks as expected. I navigate from the main page to the second page, no issues. From the second page to the 3rd page, immediate crash, no errors, no exceptions.
Just this:

The app has been terminated.
All I'm doing is clicking a button that calls a push navigation in the same exact way that I do from the first page.
private async void Choose_Device_Menu_OnClicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
await Navigation.PushAsync(new ListOfDevices(this));
}
on appearing section
protected override void OnAppearing()
{
base.OnAppearing();
}
Contructor section
namespace EMBTuner
{
[XamlCompilation(XamlCompilationOptions.Compile)]
public partial class ListOfDevices : ContentPage
{
private readonly IDeviceManipulationPage _page;
public ObservableCollection<IBacGenericDevice> Items { get; set; } = new ObservableCollection<IBacGenericDevice>(BacCommunication.CurrentRepository.BacDevices);
public ListOfDevices(IDeviceManipulationPage page)
{
InitializeComponent();
_page = page;
}
...
}
}
Again, it's very strange since this works perfectly on the simulator.
SOLUTION:
Adding BLE permissions within info.plist fixed the error. Wish the debugger was a bit smarter in this situation...
