OS X 10.11 El Capital hangs when plugging a USB device in VMware Workstation 12.0

The other day I tried to "hot plug" my iPad into OS X running as a guest, which consistently resulted in the guest OS freezing / hanging with no other solution than reboot it.

I haven't found a real solution for this, nor do I really care to investigate the problem. My workaround is to connect it before OS X starts, and this way it's properly recognized.

A quick example about geofencing (sorry, "region monitoring") on iOS with Swift is coming up!
