MonoTouch 4: The type or namespace name 'Outlet' could not be found

I have purchased MonoTouch last October from Novell. Now that I updated to MonoDevelop 2.8.5, and XCode 4.2, my projects won't build because the designer files complain:

The type or namespace name 'Outlet' could not be found

I have Monotouch 4.0.3, and just read in the Transitioning to XCode 4 article that Monotouch 4.0.4.1 or greater is required for XCode 4 support. When I try to update Monotouch, I can only find a MonoTouch 5 dmg, but it complains my current license does not allow me to upgrade to MonoTouch 5 (a natural thing because it now belongs to Xamarin)

So you could help me out with either of the two:

  1. Tell me how I can download MonoTouch 4.0.4.1 or greater (but less than 5 due to licensing - I do not want to buy a new license)
  2. How I can fix the problem of namespace during build

Any directions are greatly appreciated

MonoDevelop 2.8 is meant to be used with MonoTouch 5 (and Xcode 4.2), while MonoDevelop 2.6 is for MonoTouch 4.

This is an unfortunate artifact of the changes required in MonoDevelop to properly support iOS 5 (they were substantial, and the extra work required to be backwards compatible with older versions of MonoTouch was deemed to be too big).

Please contact [email protected]

They will be able to validate your license and allow you to download all/any versions you are entitled for.

How I can fix the problem of namespace during build

I don't think you can, without updating to 4.0.4.1, if you used Xcode's interface builder to develop your user interfaces.
