无法建立Xamarin iOS专案

Question

Due to a requirement to use a 3rd party security wrapper for our app we have to downgrade to XCode6.4 and now we're having issues trying to build the project due to an error with one of the .xib files. I've removed all references to this .xib and the project builds so it must be something to do with an XCode7/iOS9 only feature being used in the XIB. Any ideas?

Answer 1

I had this problem only last week! After comparing .xib files I noticed that the offending .xib contained a simulatedMetricsContainer entry. I removed it, saved and I was able to build the project.

This is what I removed:

   <simulatedMetricsContainer key="defaultSimulatedMetrics">
        <simulatedStatusBarMetrics key="statusBar"/>
        <simulatedOrientationMetrics key="orientation"/>
        <simulatedScreenMetrics key="destination" type="iPad-1/2"/>
    </simulatedMetricsContainer>

I hope this helps.
