After updating Xamarin and Xcode, failing to run app on iOS device

I recently updated Xcode and Xamarin and when I deploy my project to my simulator on iOS it works well. But when I however try to use my phone that has been working succesfully for many months now it does not work and I get this error in the log:

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: /Users/Carlos/Projects/Myproject/iOS/obj/iPhone/Debug/build-iphone8.1-9.3.2/ibtool-link/LaunchScreen.storyboardc/02J-Ip-oVM-view-Ze4-5b-2t2.nib does not exist

My bundle identifier matches my provisioning profile that I have made on apple.

I have tried to delete the obj and bin folders in the projectmap/mainmap (not the obj and bin-folders inside the iOS folder) but without any success. I have also rebuild the project and cleaned it but the problem still remains.

When I create a brand new project however it works. So it seems to be a problem with old projects only.

In the map on my old project I cannot even find "ibtool-link" and if I check the newly made project I just made i can see it there and other maps as well. Can I solve it by copying them over? Or is there a better solution?

Any ideas what it might be?

You might try the suggestions (I saw at least 2 different ones) in this post which are:

simply right click on the xib and open it in IB. I then turn around and close it in IB and that gets me past the error.

And

make sure 'Main Interface' empty in info.plist. Remove Bin and Obj folder.

Also you might try deleting the build cache on your mac by going to /Users/<Your User Account Name>/Library/Caches/Xamarin/mtbs/ and then delete the folder that is the same name as your solution (there might be 2, one with iOS in the name, delete both). This will get recreated when you rebuild your solution.
