Loading Unity Projects with Visual Studio for Mac

Sometimes Visual Studio for Mac won’t open the project solution files generated by Unity. You are greeted with the following error message: Unknown solution item type: {E097FAD1-6243-4DAD-9C02-E9B9EFC3FFC1} The problem is that the solution file contains a GUID that the VS won’t recognize. To solve it, open the Extensions in Visual Studio, then under “Game Development” enable “Visual Studio for Mac Tools for Unity”. That should solve it.
