I have tried all the above-mentioned approaches but didn't work. I was using Manual provisioning.

To identify why it's not showing in VS, I have:

1. Opened the Xamarin.ios project in Xcode.
2. Under Settings > Manual provisioning profile,> Selected the appropriate certificate (Note: It should be installed before it appears in the list).
3. It showed me an error, which said "Selected provisioning doesn't match with the distribution certificate in the keychain"
4. When I logged into developer.apple.com - I have found a new distribution certificate.
5. I had to regenerate the provisioning profile with the new distribution certificate (selected) and installed it.
6. After installing the error went away.
7. Also, In the Visual Studio's drop-down list the provisioning profile started to appear.

I agree with Meekohi & Vincent Dondain who have recommended choosing Automatic Provisioning, as it's a better option if one is not facing any issues with certifications or profiles as it takes care of everything. However, using the latest Visual Studio for Mac is preferable.
