Xcode 4 Support

and

TestFlight integration

Looks good :slight_smile:

im going to give this a test drive

3

im going to say that it feels more stable than the monodevelop included with unity, sure it lacks the templates and the debugger which i didnt use anyway… i think i will give this a longer try and use it as my main editor

code completion is slooooowwwww again…

Hello,
Can I setup MonoDevelop 2.8 to work with Unity like built in Monodevelop ?
I am trying to Sync MonoDevelop 2.8 Project but i get error “Unsuppoerted project…”.
And Scripts dont open in monodevelop after double click on them.
I installed MonoDevelop in standard Program FIles and tried to install it in Unity/MonoDevelop/.
Is there something I am missing ?
Thx for Help !

Any update on this one?

I’m getting the same error trying to open it with Visual Studio 2010. So, isn’t supported then? The only editor available is just the embedded Monodevelop?

Thanks in advance.

in Unity, go to Preferences tab and change the editor path to your new instance of MonoDevelop.

Yes, I know, I’ve alredy did it. But when trying to open the project I get the error message described in this post.

i’m getting the same error.

If you open up your logs for MonoDevelop 2.8 what do you see?
On Windows look in your appdata folder eg C:\Users\BobDole\AppData\Local\MonoDevelop-2.8\Logs
Mac users I’m not sure

What I find are three things

  1. It detects that MonoDevelop failed to start so it rebuilds it’s addins registry
  2. Throws a warning from GLib that g_set_prgname() is called multiple times
  3. The fatal error is “System.IO.IOException: The handle is invalid.”

I’ve tried reinstalling Unity, MonoDevelop and MonoDevelop’s prerequisites (gtk-sharp, gnome-sharp or gtkhtml-sharp) still have the same issue.

Running MonoDevelop 2.8 works just fine, just not from Unity

I’ve tried other programs like VisualStudio and Notepad++ and they open fine so it’s just MonoDevelop 2.8

Any thoughts?
