Trying to open a storyboard from monotouch is giving me an error

Question

I have created a masterdetail storyboard application within monotouch. When I try double clicking on the storyboard to open it up in xcode I get an error

Error updating Xcode project`. Could not generate outlet 'DetailItem' in class 'LCMasterDetail.DetailViewController' as its type 'System.String' could not be resolved to Obj-C.

Been a newbie noob to monotouch I have no clue whats wrong.

Anyone else had this problem?

Answer 1

What version of MonoDevelop are you using? This works just fine with MonoDevelop 2.8.5, the latest stable release. If you're using the 2.9.x beta series, would be able able to try with 2.8.5? Also, what version of Mono do you have installed?

The above information can be found by clicking on 'MonoDevelop -> About -> Version Information'.

EDIT: This is a regression in the 2.9.x beta series, so if you just switch to the stable version everything will work as expected.
