Debugging on iOS causes Visual Studio to not react anymore

To build and debug my iOS app, which is made up of Objective-C and C++ code, I'm using Visual Studio 2017 version 15.2 (26430.13) which is paired with vcremote running on a Mac mini (Intel Core i5, 8GB, HDD).

Building is working really well, I generally don't have problems there. However, the problem is that debugging with that constellation does not work reliably. Most of the time when I launch the debugger the iOS simulator is properly started on the Mac, my app is deployed and started but somehow Visual Studio does not respond anymore. It doesn't actually freeze in the sense that Windows detects that Visual Studio hangs and proposes to kill it, it's just that it does not react to input anymore. It's user interface is still properly visible, i.e. there are not rendering problems, etc. but Visual Studio does not respond anymore. All I can do in such a case is killing Visual Studio using Task Manager and try it again.

Paired with the mentioned Mac this happens several times before once in a while debuggung finally works. The interesting thing is that if I pair my Visual Studio with the MacBook of my colleague (same Wi-Fi network) it still happens but it happens with a much lower frequency. But anyway, with both Macs it does happen and can be reproduced easily.

Let me know if you need more specific information, I'm happy to provide it.

Start by reproducing the debugger launch with Visual Studio 2017 15.2, vcremote on a Mac, and the iOS simulator, comparing the two reported Mac setups. Investigate the debugger connection and UI responsiveness; done means the app launches under the debugger without Visual Studio becoming unresponsive.
