I recently updated both Visual Studio 2017 on my development machine and Xamarin on my build agent. I now cannot debug iOS apps. The app opens up on my test device, but the debugger throws an exception. The output is below:
The connection with the debugger has been lost. The target application may have exited.
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Mono.Posix, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=0738eb9f132ed756' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.
To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.
To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].
