Visual Studio Mac 2017 hangs on build

I am trying to build my Xamarin.Forms app but the build always hangs at the same stage (Android and iOS build) and I would really like to figure out why. Visual studio then fully hangs and can only be force-closed.enter image description here

This only happens in one specific branch, but I need to find out, what's wrong. I cannot see anything from the log or maybe I am looking at the wrong log. I would really appreciate any pointers in the right direction.

Buildlog:

Fixed it. I proceeded as follows. I tried to build each project separately to see, which one is to blame. The platform-independent one blocked the build. Then I used msbuild in Terminal to get more information and it spat out that it could not resolve a GitVersion nuget. I removed it and voilá it worked.
