Building Xamarin.IOS Visual studio solution from command line

I am trying to build a Xamarin.iOS solution in Visual Studio 2012 from command line. I need as a result application IPA file (AdHoc build).

From IDE it is no problem - everything is right. From command line a executing:

msbuild "Y:\CloudWorkgroupMobile\CloudWorkgroup.Touch.sln" /p:Configuration=Adhoc;Platform=iPhone;ServerAddress=192.168.160.24 /t:Clean;Build;

The above only build solution on Windows machine. Also tried following:

msbuild "Y:\CloudWorkgroupMobile\CloudWorkgroup.Touch.sln" /target:_RemoteBuild /p:ServerAddress=192.168.160.24

but Bulid was FAILED with:

"Y:\CloudWorkgroupMobile\CloudWorkgroup.Touch.sln" (_RemoteBuild target) (1) -> Y:\CloudWorkgroupMobile\CloudWorkgroup.Touch.sln.metaproj : error MSB4057: The target "_RemoteBuild" does not exist in the project. [Y:\CloudWorkgroupMobile\CloudWorkgroup.Touch.sln]

Any idea?

the _RemoteBuild target is only available on the Xamarin.iOS project, not on the solution.

change it to:

msbuild "Y:\CloudWorkgroupMobile\iosProjectLocation\iosProject.proj" /target:_RemoteBuild /p:ServerAddress=192.168.160.24

You should then be good to go.
