Ammonium Hydroxide or NH4OH is Ammonia or NH3 dissolved in H2O. When AgCl is added then it reacts with NH3 and produces [Ag(NH3)2]Cl which is known as Diammine silver chloride and it is soluble in water. So, AgCl is soluble is Ammonium Hydroxide but insoluble in water.
AgCl(s) + NH4OH —-> [Ag(NH3)2]Cl + H2O
