Do you get a dialog about permitting access to the local network upon starting the first time?

If so, this is kind of expected, because debugging happens over the local network.

The dialog appears, and I always allow it immediately. But the debugger is not connecting anyways.

Yes, once the app has launched it's too late to establish the connection with the debugger, which is why it only works after re-launching the app.

The workaround is to connect over the USB cable, but that's not implemented for VSCode (microsoft/vscode-dotnettools#1081), so closing this as a duplicate of the VSCode issue.
