MonoTouch debugger never connects to app

Question

I have an issue where the MonoDevelop debugger refuses to connect to the simulator. MonoDevelop pops a box saying \"Waiting for debugger to connect on 127.0.0.1:10000...\" b

Answer 1

It could also depend from content files (files with Build Action = Content) added inside some particular directories: e.g. you cannot create a directory called 'Resources' and put a content file inside, MonoDevelop hangs saying "Waiting for debugger to connect...." instead of raising a meaningful error.
