I'm trying my hand at cross-platform development with Visual Studio, and I'm trying to follow a video tutorial on YouTube. I'm running VS2105 on my Win10 computer. I tried to open the Main.storyboard file in my iOS project and this window appears:
I take the only path available, and I'm greeted with this dialog:
I have a project that is using old version of EmguCV. In windows,it requires Visual C++ Redistributable for proper functioning.The Library throws some exception when its missing.I'm porting the same. A simple Xamarin Forms project with a pre-configured Visual Studio 2017 environment, View Templates, Themes, Observables and Reactive Properties, Dependency Injection via Autofac, Unit Tests via xUnit, and Crash Logging via HockeyApp to be used as a starting point for mobile projects deployed to Android and iOS.
...who wouldn't click 'Connect', right? Well that gets me here:
...so here I am, wondering what to do next. It looks like Visual Studio sees a Mac, but I've got no idea where it got that impression - I haven't an Apple product of any kind in my home. I thought that maybe there was a virtual Mac running in Hyper-V somehow when this project was created, but come on - Apple ain't gonna go for that.
Can someone explain what's going on here?

It looks like it found a Mac somewhere on the network. You need to enable Remote Login, login to the mac, then put in the username and password for the logged in user.
If this is not your mac, then ignore it. You HAVE to have a mac for ios development. If you want to do iOS, then you need to get one.
