VisualStudio for Mac automatically converted to Mono Develop

Sundar · Answer

Explanation This error can occur when Xamarin Studio fails to load key add-ins. MonoDevelop appears because it's the foundation underneath Xamarin Studio. Important note Unless you've manually edited the add-ins or something similar; this is most likely caused by a bug. In this case, please contact support, or file a bug. Troubleshooting Usually this issue can be resolved by the following steps: Close Xamarin Studio. (aka MonoDevelop per the symptoms) Zip up a copy of the Xamarin Studio Cache from your machine to submit with a bug report: Mac: ~/Library/Caches/XamarinStudio-5.0 PC: %LOCALAPPDATA%\XamarinStudio-5.0\Cache Delete the cache from the location listed in step 2. Restart Xamarin Studio. It should automatically restore the cache, generally correcting the error in the process.
