I've installed trial version of MonoTouch, and I'm evaluating it for use.
This strange error has occurred:
Could not load 'MyProductName' for registration. This could be due to an outdated assembly kept by the simulator, location: /PathToMyProduct
Followed by:
A type load exception has occurred.
My guess is that, somehow some assembly is not up to date. So I've tried to remove it from the given path. But still it's there. So I performed a purge (reinstalled MonoTouch, removed binary build path, in simulator path, uninstalled from simulator, reset simulator, and finally restarted the OSX). But still it's there.
Any hints on how to solve this peculiar problem?

That message covered most of the cases where such an exception occurred. This was fixed (actually we worked around the simulator bug) in MonoTouch 5.0+ (even earlier but I don't recall exactly which version). Simply resetting the simulator is enough to fix this condition.
ReplyDeleteHowever this is unlikely the situation you're facing since you did a lot more than what would have been required.
My guess would be that the project includes an assembly that refers to types that are not available in MonoTouch (e.g. from System.Reflection.Emit) or compiled against a different version of the framework (e.g. reusing an assembly binary compiled against .NET 4.0). However both cases do not generally lead to this error message so it could be something else.
It will be hard to further diagnose the problem without having the binaries. Could you either open a bug report on http://bugzilla.xamarin.com (you can mark the attachment as private) or send an email to support@xamarin.com (with the project attached) ?
