Failed to bind to address (already in use) error with Visual Studio Mac API

Question

I\'m attempting to create a Web API via .Net Core. I\'m just using the boilerplate ValuesController as a Hello World. When I run the project, I get the following error:

I was able to at least temporarily solve this issue by implementing a workaround provided by Bill Boga on his site here: https://www.billbogaiv.com/posts/setting-aspnet-host-address-in-net-core-2

The key for my project was to add .UseUrls(urls: "http://localhost:10000") in the BuildWebHost function. Like so:

using Microsoft.AspNetCore;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting;
using OrchardCore.Logging;
using OrchardCore.Modules;

namespace ShiftBrandSite
{
    public class Program
    {
        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            BuildWebHost(args).Run();
        }

        public static IWebHost BuildWebHost(string[] args) =>
            WebHost.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
                .UseNLogWeb()
                .UseStartup()
                .UseUrls(urls: "http://localhost:10000") // <-- localhost urls
                .Build();
    }
}

Hope this helps!
