In the command example, using <udid> as a placeholder is problematic because <...> has shell meaning (input redirection) and copy/paste will fail. Prefer a safe placeholder (for example UDID, $UDID, or a concrete example value like 00001111-012301230123ABCD).

Suggested change
dotnet build -t:Run project.csproj -p:Device=<udid>
