OTHER TIPS

Does it find XCode in the right location? Check by clicking Xamarin Studio>Preferences>SDK Locations>Apple. If the Apple SDK was not found, you can manually specify XCode location path.

I had this problem because I was trying to create and use an iOS project using the "Unified API." I suggest not using this and sticking with the "Classic API." The former does not work (it won't build) if you want to use the simulator rather than a real device.

Are you not getting screen like below.???

I think you don't have iOS SDKs for your Xcode, usually it comes with the Xcode but if for some reasons you don't find it, simply follow the steps listed below:

  1. Go to Finder > Applications > XCode (Right Click) > Show Package Content
  2. A new finder window will open with Contents folder
  3. Content > Developer > Platforms > iPhoneSimulator.platform > Developer > SDKs > Here you should get the list of *.sdk files
  4. If there are no files then download the SDK file and paste it here, close the Xcode, Monotouch, and again Open it, you should find the iOS simulators in the dropdown.

You should be able to get the Xcode and SDk here Please verify if you have installed Xcode correctly because it usually contains atleast 1 SDK
