Xamarin iOS Release Build fails

I am using Xamarin iOS in Visual Studio 2017 for Windows! Building and debugging the debug Version of my App via a build host works great. But when I try to build the Release Version it says:

1>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\MSBuild\15.0\Bin\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets(3463,5): error MSB6006: "sgen.exe" exited with code 1.

Signing Identities are installed and vislible in VS. I also found this Blog post. But the workaround is only for Mac Users. Does anyone know what's wrong here?

Thanks!

Have you configured your iOS release? if not this may be the solution.

In Visual Studio, open Solution Explorer (Keyboard: Ctrl + Alt + L).

Right-click your solution and then click Configuration Manager.

On the configuration manager dialog box open the active solution configuration drop-down menu and click New.

On the new solution configuration dialog box:

  • For Name, enter iOS Release

  • Open Copy settings from drop-down menu and select Release.

  • Clear the Create new project configurations dialog box.

Open the Active solution platform drop-down menu:

  • Select iPhoneSimulator and clear the check boxes on all rows except your Xamarin.iOS project and any projects (for example, portable class libraries) it depends on.
  • Repeat this step for iPhone.
