Add apple account to Visual Studio for Windows - windows

I am trying to add an Apple Account on VS 2017 running on Windows but it's giving me an error saying that it can't find a server with the specified hostname. I'm paired to a Mac mini.
Screenshot of error message

I upgraded to VS 2K19 and my issue was solved. but I suspect that allowing Visual Studio to use public networks was the actual fix.

Xamarin IOs, Private key is encrypted but passphrase is empty when connecting to Mac Build Agent from Visual Studio for Windows

I am using a Mac with Parallels Desktop installed to build my Xamarin.IOs app in Visual Studio for Windows 2017 (Professional). I have two windows accounts in the Windows that runs in Parallels Desktop.
I used Visual Studio in one windows account and successfully connected to the Mac Build agent. But when I switched back to the other windows account and used the same Visual Studio application, I get an error when connecting to the Mac Build agent saying,
Private key is encrypted but passphrase is empty...
How can I fix this?
It seems like this is a bug in Visual Studio 2017.
I had to delete the,
id_rsa
id_rsa.pub
passphrase.key
files found in my Windows account at %LOCALAPPDATA%\Xamarin\MonoTouch and reconnect to the Mac Build Agent.
Then it started working fine 😊
NOTE:
I found this solution from here

This error is obtained when trying to obtain developer license from Visual Studio 2015. How to resolve?

Visual Studio Emulator for Android hangs installing device profile

I am running the Visual Studio Emulator for Android, but it's getting stuck creating a new device profile:
Are there any log files I can use to diagnose the problem, or does anyone from Microsoft have an idea what maybe wrong?
I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro, and it's the RTM version of the emulator installed with VS 2015.
This is because you are not yet a member of the "Hyper-V Administrators" user group. If you didn't restart your computer after installation, you should restart and try again.
If you've restarted and are still seeing this, go to Control Panel, then Local Users and Groups, and add your username to the "Hyper-V Administrators" group.

Apache Cordova Tool VS 2013 - Unable To Attach

Unable to attach debugger "File not Found" using template for Apache Cordova in vs 2013. Happening on both Win 8.1 64 machine and win 7 SP1 64 machine.
Project builds and runs correctly in both emulator and ripple but generates error "Unable To Attach. The system can not find the file specified." No further information is given - as in what file is not being found, which would have been nice.
Unlike the other solutions I have seen on web, installs on both machines ARE on a system drive. Latest updates are installed for node, git and android sdk. Environment variables and path variables are correct on both machines. Tried all api's 19 and above, uninstalling and reinstalling the tool multiple times, updating from command line.
Issue occurred after switching from visual studio 2013 Pro update 3 to community edition update 4 on both machines.
Have even tried uninstalling every piece of software having to do with android dev (Eclipse, Android Studio, Cordova, Phonegap, the tool) and reinstalling the Cordova Tool with all of the default options. Still same error on both machines - currently just using chrome to debug.
Noticed that it seems to be a similar error(the adb.exe error) but without the file name, given when trying to debug on a phone that has less than 4.4.
Any suggestions? Thank you for any help in advance.
I had exactly the same error and I successfully resolved it.
My configuration:
Windows 7 Pro 64 bits - French
Visual Studio 2013 Update 4 (French Edition)
CTP 3
What I did to solve the problem:
First, I installed ENU Language Pack for Visual Studio to install English language
Then, I switched the language of my Visual Studio to english
Finally, I repaired my CTP 3.0 installation.
After that, I was able to debug application from my android device.
Another solution (but not suitable for everyone since it's required a MSDN Account) : using the Visual Studio 2015 Preview.
What is the version/build number/size of the resources assembly in
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_MSIL\Microsoft.VisualStudio.WebClient.Diagnostics.HtmlToolHost.resources\12.0.* ?
You can right click on the binary and check its properties.
Thanks
