6 years ago I have the same issue when opening the storyboard and xib files, but the emulator still seems to work. It started when I upgraded to VS 15.9. I filed a ticket with Microsoft and expect to hear back in the next few days. I will keep you posted.

6 years ago Oh jeez, so glad I am not alone with this. Even completely set up my MacOS system from scratch after I couldn't find anything about the issue in the web. Hope this gets resolved timely, developing on the Mac directly is a pain.

6 years ago It seems to be mono version mismatch. When rendering iOS designer in Visual Studios Windows, the following command is supposed to be executed on the other side, MacOS. /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Commands/mono64 /Users/jeremyroh/Library/Caches/Xamarin/XMA/Agents/Designer/agent-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/CSProxyHost.exe
The command always causes an exception with mono 5.12.0 Even though I tried a few different (minor) versions of 5.12.0.xxx, it didn't give any difference.
Only if I used mono 5.16.0 the latest version, the command executed fine without any exceptions, errors.
But, Visual Studio iOS agent forces to use mono 5.12.0. Expected fix should be either to allow to use mono 5.16.0 or to make CSProxyHost.exe work with mono 5.12.0
