How do I find the error message of an app that has become unresponsive in macOS?

I have a solution with many Azure Functions open in Visual Studio for Mac 2019. It works fine to code and run them. However, when I try to publish, then VS for Mac freezes completely and becomes unresponsive. My only option is to use force quit.

This happens every time without exception. No error message is shown.

I have a new Mac M1 and the latest version of macOS (11.2.1)

Without an error message, it is impossible to solve, so that is why my question is how do I find the error message when VS for Mac becomes unresponsive and is unable to show me any error message?

  • Status, Warnings and Errors that don't reach the user should show up in the Console,
