Developing in Xcode with MonoTouch?

I am new to Xcode and MonoTouch, so please bear with me. Is it possible to develop MonoTouch applications with Xcode instead of with MonoDevelop? I have read the MonoTouch Xcode tutorial but unfortunately the process described does not seem to work with the latest MonoTouch version (I get a "No SDK in directory" error, there is also no resource rules file in the root SDK directory). Finally, where am I supposed to put the directives to the MonoTouch compiler?

I have downloaded the trial version of MonoTouch.

Thanks in advance.

Xcode does not support third-party plug-ins or environments.

Its technically possible, but not in the supported MonoTouch workflow, so you'd be somewhat on your own. What you'd need to do is look at the output of a MonoTouch build with "-v -v -v" in the Extra Arguments field to see how we invoke the AOT compiler. You'll also need to look at the main.m generated by -keeptemp and adapt that in to your Xcode workflow. Lastly you would not be able to use the linker unless you maintained a parallel monotouch project which compiled and linked, and then you did a secondary build step to update your Xcode project.
