Hi,
I have updated my pc and mac to the latest stable release of xamarin and xamarin ios and XCode.
I can't connect to the Mac with visual studio 2015. Xamarin Ask for user name and password to connect but after waiting some time I got the message
"Could not connect to xxx-iMac.local. Please try again."
I have try several restarts both pc and mac
I have gone and recheck all the steps of the following page
"https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/ios/getting_started/installation/windows/connecting-to-mac/troubleshooting/"
If relevant when checking the ssh connection I got the message
"The authenticity of the host 10.1.11.31 can't be established.
ECDSA key fingerprint is SHA256:t6N3.......
Are you sure you want to continue connectiong (yes/no) ?"
When answer "yes" then I provide my password and everything went OK (check with ls command)
Xamarin logs are

I've been using Xamarin Visual Studio Plugin over a year. From time to time I had some problems connecting, but this time I cannot resolve it
Any Ideas ????
