Moving XCode location Breaks Monotouch compiling via MonoDevelop

Having a similar problem as that described in MonoTouch and Xcode 4.3 from the App Store. I moved XCode to a different location and am getting:

The Apple iPhone SDK is not installed.

I've attempted to point MonoDevelop to the new location via "MonoDevelop -> Preferences -> SDK Locations -> Apple SDK", and while the GUI shows success when I browse to XCode.app, the new path isn't saved and I continue to receive errors.

I also tried to move it back to "/Applications/" but again, the setting doesn't take in MonoDevelop although the GUI shows that it successfully found the Apple SDK in the default location.

Note, I am running MonoDevelop version 2.8.8.4 at the moment.

Any suggestions? Should I downgrade to 2.8.6.5 Beta as suggested in MonoTouch and Xcode 4.3 from the App Store?

Have you tried setting it to /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/? - jrtc27
Make sure you restart MonoDevelop after changing it's SDK Location setting. If that does not work please edit your question to include all your versions information (MonoTouch, OSX...) you can get them from MonoDevelop About dialog. - poupou
@jrtc27: Tried as you suggested, but it appears that the GUI only accepts a path to Xcode.app. - Immo Des
@poupou: Tried as you suggested, and this worked. Once the SDK Location setting (pointed to the new location of Xcode.app) was accepted, I quit MonoDevelop and started it again. Checked the setting under preferences, and the newly defined path was present. Compiled my MonoTouch app and all worked without a hitch. Suggestion for the MD folks to reduce confusion: It would be helpful for either "restart" instructions to be given to the user upon changing such settings, or the preferences to be saved without a "restart". - Immo Des

Answering for the benefit of other users who experience the same issue. @poupou's suggestion above (a comment to my original question) was what worked for me. Simply "Make sure you restart MonoDevelop after changing it's SDK Location."
