    Start XCode on the Mac. XCode will indicate that some tools are missing to enable debugging, and prompts you to allow it to automatically install them - allow it to do this, then try running again from Visual Studio - no restarts required.

    Another time, this was fixed by

    Xcode menu > Preferences… > Locations tab > Select Command Line Tools dropdown
    I was asked for a password, then it all worked again.
