MonoDevelop 2.8.2 and Unity 3.5.6 debugging on iOS device possible?

So, I’ve looked everywhere and tried everything (maybe) trying to debug on device with MonoDevelop Unity 2.8.2 and Unity 3.5.6. I deploy my build to the device with xcode, stop it within xcode, open the application again on the device, and then I open up Monodevelop. I select attach to process, which detects the device just fine. However, it hangs and I eventually get this message:

Mono.Debugging.Soft.DebugSocketException: Could not open port for debugger. Another process may be using the port. —> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: interrupted at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.Connect (System.Net.EndPoint remoteEP) [0x00000] in :0 at Mono.Debugger.Soft.VirtualMachineManager.ConnectInternal (System.Net.Sockets.Socket dbg_sock, System.Net.Sockets.Socket con_sock, System.Net.IPEndPoint dbg_ep, System.Net.IPEndPoint con_ep) [0x0002b] in /BuildAgent/work/976433a72acbefb1/monodevelop/main/contrib/Mono.Debugger.Soft/Mono.Debugger.Soft/VirtualMachineManager.cs:274

Port 10000 is supposedly the default port for remote debugging, however I’ve checked and else is running on this port. I’m NOT running MonoTouch. Just straight Monodevelop Unity version 2.8.2 and Unity 3.5.6. Is it even possible at all with these conditions to debug on device with Unity or did I miss something? I even tried a local Ad-Hoc connection between my Mac and the actual device to no avail. I’d appreciate any help on this. Thanks.

I have never been able to get this to work either but I just noticed the following in the Xcode console:

PlayerConnection initialized network socket : 0.0.0.0 55501
Multi-casting “[IP] 10.128.87.221 [Port] 55501 [Flags] 3 [Guid] 2728303056 [EditorId] 3012262790 [Version] 1048832 [Id] iPhonePlayer(******s-iPhone) [Debug] 1” to [225.0.0.222:54997]…
Waiting for connection from host on [10.128.87.221:55501]…
Timed out. Continuing without host connection.
Using monoOptions --debugger-agent=transport=dt_socket,embedding=1,defer=y,address=0.0.0.0:56056
PlayerConnection already initialized - listening to [10.128.87.221:55501]

My router shows the local IP address of both the phone and Mac to be 192.168.. while the Unity runtime on the phone seems to use 10...* The Unity Editor’s console shows “Failed to connect to player ip: 192.168.1.4, port: 55501”, which is the IP of the phone.

Could this be why the debugger fails to connect (and the “Another process may be using the port” message is just a red herring)? Is there a way to get the Unity runtime to use 192.168.. instead?

I ran into a similar issue. The debug client on my phone kept using the 3G ip address instead of the wifi address. I turned off 3g and was able to connect to mono develop.
