Native linking failed error when building for device

[jcachat]

With the latest Xamarin iOS beta (7.2.2.2), I'm getting a Native linking failed error related to the SWRevealViewControllerDelegate class when I deploy to a device. To fix it, we need the Protocol attribute added to that interface definition.

Cheers for the tip.

Is this reproducible with the attached storyboard example? If so I'll have a look at it probably tomorrow and add it in or if you could submit a pull request, that'd also be great.

It only happens when building for a device and I don't have a provisioning profile for that project. I could probably make one, but Apple doesn't make that easy for us...

I did try to send a pull request but was not able to get it through. I'm probably not doing it right though - I've never created a pull request before. This is the only change that is needed in ApiDefinition.cs (just add "Protocol" in there):

[Model, Protocol, BaseType (typeof (NSObject))]
public partial interface SWRevealViewControllerDelegate

I've done that locally and it fixes the linker problem and everything works great.

Thanks for the follow-up and for putting this binding together. It works great and saved me alot of time!

No problem. I'll verify the bug as soon as I can and get the project updated. Thanks again for informing the bug with the fix :)

That goes out to Jesper :) I'm just maintaining the project since he's not working with Xamarin currently.
