Can't connect PC to Mac (Xamarin.iOS versions mismatch)

I'm trying to connect my Windows 10 to my Mac to build a Xamarin.Forms app as I've done in the past. However, I'm getting the following error:

Xamarin.iOS versions mismatch The Xamarin.iOS SDK version installed on Mac is not compatible with this version of Visual Studio. Would you like us to install Xamarin.iOS '11.14' for you? This will overwrite any existing Xamarin.iOS installation on your Mac.

Indeed, the version on the Mac is 11.12.0.4. I'm on the stable channel, and it's telling me there are no updates. and I'm on the latest VS on my PC - 15.8.1.

I tried clicking 'Install' but it fails telling me that

There were problems installing...

Is there a way to solve this without uninstalling and reinstalling Visual Studio (which might not even help)?

After further searching the only solution at the moment seems to be to use the beta channel in order to install Xamarin.iOS 11.14 on the Mac.

However, the better solution seems to be to wait. It's supposed to be updated

really soon [Yes. That's a quote.]

Sources for all of that (and how to upgrade using the beta channel):

https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/311561/installing-xamarinios-1114-from-the-vs4win-connect.html

EDIT

Visual Studio for Mac has been updated. We're supposed to be able to update it and it's supposed to work now.
