    Visual Studio 8+ for macOS requires Mono framework version 5.18.1.24+
    Unity Hub Keeps installing a dated version of Mono Framework 5.16 which prevents VS from launching.

    This causes Visual Studio to reference the incorrect Mono framework version until a relink from 5.16 to 5.18 is done which resolves the issue. This change doesn't affect the running of Unity but it is a nuisance every time a new version of Unity is installed via the Hub which kills VS.

    Thanks for pointing this out, the team has been notified. Could you please submit a bug report for this issue through the Hub bug reporter as well?

    Oh great - I already got used to always reinstalling the mono framework after a new unity version and hoped that someone has already reported this annoying issue :)

    So hopefully this is being looked at now, thanks!

    @LeonhardP I assume this also affects Visual Studio Code on Mac complaining about not being able to load the cs project successfully when using the standard Omnisharp extension for c# development? VSCode complains about the framework sdk not being right. We are currently downloading and installing Mono (5.18.1 Visual Studio Channel version from the Mono site).

    For macOS VSCode + Omnisharp loading Unity .csproj files without complaining, yes, manually installing Mono seems to make it happy :)

    In the issue tracker it's marked as resolved with Hub 2.0.4, but I still get the error after installing 2019.1.14 in Hub 2.1.0. Added a comment to issue tracker.
