Xamarin - IOS Binding contains all interfaces (NSObject , NSDateFormatter etc) of IOS Foundation

disha11

After converting .a file using lipo , ApiDefinition.cs which is generated contains all interfaces(NSObject , NSDateFormatter , UIViewController) of Ios Foundation which are displaying error. Moreover, few classes which have been removed from Xcode project are also getting displayed in ApiDefinition.cs. Cleared Derived Data , Build folder but still extra files are not getting removed from ApiDefinition generated.

Above all getting error of "BaseTypeAttribute not found in a binding project".

Can anyone guide me on this.

To produce a complete binding, try to deal with four components:

• The API definition file (ApiDefinition.cs in the template).
• Optional: any enums, types, structs required by the API definition file (StructsAndEnums.cs in the template).
• Optional: extra sources that might expand the generated binding, or provide a more C# friendly API (any C# files that you add to the project).
• The native library that you are binding.
