Steps to reproduce

Expected behavior

The debugger launches and allows me to debug the code

Actual behavior

An error is returned in the output window:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You may only use the Microsoft .NET Core Debugger (clrdbg) with Visual Studio
Code, Visual Studio or Visual Studio for Mac software to help you develop and
test your applications.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ERROR: Unable to start debugging. Unexpected CLRDBG output from command "-exec-run".
The program '/Users/nicklasdemayo/aaa/projects-git/Service-BAHAdmin/BAH.Admin/bin/Debug/netcoreapp1.1/BAH.Admin.dll' has exited with code 42 (0x0000002a).

I ran the following (suggested from here):

/Users/nicklasdemayo/.vscode/extensions/ms-vscode.csharp-1.7.0/.debugger/clrdbg --interpreter=mi
-gdb-exit

And got no other unexpected output.

Here is a work around that worked for me:

Download https://dotnet.myget.org/F/dotnet-core/api/v2/package/runtime.osx.10.10-x64.Microsoft.NETCore.Runtime.CoreCLR/1.1.2-servicing-25123-01
Open the resulting file as a zip, and copy out runtimes/osx.10.10-x64/native/libdbgshim.dylib
Open a terminal
cd ~/.vscode/extensions/ms-vscode.csharp-1.8.0/.debugger
cp <path-to-extracted-libdbgshim> .

As I said above, but just to repeat here, I expect to have a real fix out soon. But hopefully this will unblock folks in the mean time.
