WebAssembly: debugging from the IDE is not available yet on Rider. But you can use the Chromium in-browser debugger instead.
iOS on Windows: An attached Mac is needed, the iOS simulator will open on the Mac.
Android on Linux: Xamarin.Android does not natively support Linux development. Rider has been capable of Android development on Linux in the past, but previous directions are considered obsolete. As of this comment (3 Nov 2021) Xamarin Android builds on Linux fail.

You may need to follow additional directions, depending on your development environment.
