Hi Jannik,
Sorry for the belated response, but the macOS client needs a bit of
love.
First, I downloaded the same RemoteViewer you are using, and connected
to a few local virtual machines successfully, if slowly. I am running
High Sierra, but I don't believe it matters in that specific context.
To verify that, I installed it inside a clean macOS Sierra VM, and from
there, I was able to connect to other guests without much trouble.
So the bundle itself seems relatively sane. This means that we may need
to spend a little more time investigating your case. Are you comfortable
rebuilding a spice client yourself?
If so, I tried to document two ways to build a SPICE client here:
https://aspiceodyssey.wordpress.com/2017/12/01/building-spice-client-for-macos/
If that works for you, I'd be happy to attempt to debug your problem.
Thanks
Christophe
