I've tried to get Visual Studio 2019 (Community Edition) working with a Mac to create a Mobile app iOS and Android. Unfortunatly I'm struggling the whole day wit this combination.
My current issue, which I cannot solve myself is the following error in Visual Studio on Windows:
An unexpected error occurred while checking the SSH configuration of '192.168.178.74'
An item with the same key has already been added.
I tried to change the MAc Address of the virtual machin to get a new IP Adress, without success
my setup:
Btw. I forgot to mention, that it is possible to log in to the Mac via ssh from Windows.
My fix to this issue was to delete the hosts.key file in this directory
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Xamarin\MonoTouch
I had not Monotouch folder, so I created it manually and run VS using Administrator privileges. This solved my problem.
I was able to get this working. It seems that running chmod og-w "$HOME"
on the MacOS device fixed it for me.
However, I'm not 100% sure that was the only step because I've been debugging this for hours, so everything I did might be unnecessary, but if the above doesn't work alone, here is everything I did:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Xamarin\MonoTouch
directory (leave the directory itself)~/.ssh/authorized_keys
file~/Library/Caches/Xamarin/XMA
directorychmod og-w "$HOME"
