Fastlane in Visual Studio is not working. Can someone please help?

Problem is happening in my Windows OS version of Visual Studio 2019. I am not able to get fastlane to work at all. I have a MacMini with Catalina OS, Visual Studio 2019 Mac is installed. I am trying to deploy my Xamarin app installed onto my IOS device so that I can test and debug the program. I am not able to get this to work. Been at it for a week. I am not able to add my Apple Developer Account on the Mac version of visual Studio as well. Getting a "Failed to synchronized "username" account with Apple Developer Portal. The SSL connection could not be established, see inner exception. I am not sure what to do. Do I need to create a paid for Apple Developer Account? The free developer "account" does not seem to work. Xcode works fine and I can publish the app to the iPad without a problem. So Visual Studio 2019 cannot publish my app to the IOS device. Could use some help.

Thanks,

Kevin
