Xamarin: Unable to run iOS App from Visual Studio 2015

I am unable to run iOS App from VS 2015 on Windows. I can see the Mac agent is connected to my Mac but there is following error in the log file. Can someone please advise what is going wrong here?

Xamarin.Messaging.VisualStudio.MessagingFileManager Error: 0 : [2016-12-16 17:53:15.3687] An error occurred downloading files for App App3 System.IO.FileNotFoundException: The file '/var/empty/Library/Caches/Xamarin/mtbs/builds/App3/c401707f0c87e530ed45cad421856e4f/obj/iPhoneSimulator/Debug/build-signature/signature' was not found on the Mac.

I was able to build the application but it was not launching iOS simulator and the log was pointing to error mentioned above. After @AlanClark's comment, I started examining the contents of folders on my mac. There are two places where the contents of the app are copied on Mac.

  1. /var/empty/Library/Caches/Xamarin/mtbs/builds/App3/c401707f0c87e530ed45cad421856e4f/
  2. /Users//Library/Caches/Xamarin/mtbs/builds/App3/c401707f0c87e530ed45cad421856e4f/

I noticed that there was obj folder in location 2 but it was not there in location 1. I manually copied the obj folder and I could launch the app after that. Still trying to figure out why obj folder is missing from location 2.
