MonoTouch 5.0: Get MonoDevelop to use iOS 5 SDK/Simulator

6
votes

I upgraded to Lion, MonoDevelop 2.8 and MonoTouch 5.0 and the Apple iOS 5 SDK. All smooth.

I installed the iOS 5 SDK into a different-than-default folder.

How do I get MonoTouch to use the new simulator? Under the menu Project/iPhone Simulator Target only 4.3 and below appear. However, I can set the OS target of the project in properties to 5.0

Perhaps MonoTouch needs to be told where 5.0 is?

How?

Have you tell MonoDevelop where to look ?

  1. Use MonoDevelop menu;
  2. Select Preferences...* item;
  3. Under Others select SDK Locations in the left tree view;
  4. Select manuall the location of the iOS5 SDK

i.e. the one at the default location is likely the iOS 4.3 SDK

UPDATE! 5. Restart MonoDevelop
