Hi,
I have two dev machines, both with VS2019 16.7.5 and a Mac mini with xcode 12 on it. One machine can pair fine with Mac but the other one continually reports "Couldn't connect to Abc Mac mini. Please try again. An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions". It goes through the motions of connecting to SSH, validating xcode, etc. but then aborts.
The log file is shown below. Any ideas on how I can fix this?
Its not something new with VS 16.7.5, as it also didn't work with 16.7.3. The fact one PC can pair just fine suggests all is OK on the Mac. The machine that can't pair is also running Windows Insider 20221.1000 whereas the other is running standard 2004 build 19041.508.
