Xamarin: Fails to build when targeting an actual device

[johnvowles]

Xamarin: Works fine when building for simulator but fails to build when targeting a device. Error is:

Error MT2002: Failed to resolve "System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComTypes.FILETIME" reference from "System.Runtime.InteropServices, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"

To replicate:

1. Create new iPhone app in Xamarin Studio
2. Add nuget package
3. Add using statement to AppDelegate
4. Add new property of type MessagePackObject to AppDelegate
5. Build (targeting an actual iPhone device)

I cannot reproduce this issue, but I can fix it logically. So, could you try the private build to confirm the issue fixed?
The build is available at my onedrive : http://1drv.ms/1G3ltgi
(Note that I updated the file at 2015-06-07 16:34 JST)

You can try this .nupkg by creating your local source in your local computer.

I get the same error with the new version, but I discovered that if I select 'Link all assemblies' in the build settings (Project settings -> Build -> iOS Build) it works OK.

Should I close this issue now?

Thank you for reporting.
Please wait few days until I can try linker options -- because 1) the FILETIME reference should be removed from the new build; 2) I have never faced compilation error instead of runtime AOT error with linker option.

I could repro your problem and I removed FILETIME reference. Thank you.
