I am trying to pair my Visual Studio 2017 running on Windows to a mac running macOS High Sierra 10.13 that has XCode 9.2 (9C40b) (with same version of commandline tools) and Visual Studio for Mac 7.5.3 with Xamarion.iOS 11.12.0.4 installed.
When opening the Xamarin Agent dialog, I can see my mac in the list but when trying to connect it gives an error saying that XCode is not installed?
I have done a wide variety of recommended troubleshooting for vaguely similar problems online that mainly involve deleting various temp files.
Here is the last few lines of the log:

I am at a bit of a loss as to what might be going on?
Could it be because this is not the latest version of XCode? (that requires me to update macOS)
Ideally, I would want to avoid having to update macOS.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
James
