Issues with using this repo with the existing VS17 offered from microsoft #2890

I'm new to this repo, and spent couple days trying to get this to work. It seems like potentially only VS studio 15.4.5 might work, unfortunately 15.8 is what is being offered and the lowest version of VS they have is 15.6. If this is true and only versions below 15.5 work, there needs to be an update to the tutorial so newbies like me don't fall into that trap, and a link to get that version cause no known 15.45 versions exist at Microsoft now. I mean I've tried, repackaging LLVM from scratch using cmake and the packaged windows version, different toolsets like clang c2, prelease of nuget/objc, running basic xcode projects ported from apple ios platform, sample projects from this repo,removing storyboards, the extra things that were recommend couldn't get anything to compile and it also looks like nuget is busted, clang seems to be requiring 6.0 in newer versions of VS. It's been quite nightmarish. Anyone point me in the right direction?

@techlabz I think this is a dup of issue https://github.com/Microsoft/WinObjC/issues/2884#issuecomment-412061585 . WinObjC is very productive if you are able to setup the prescribed situation, otherwise I suspect you will have to wait for a full-out Clang 6 related release.
