Getting issues when producing a dll file after binding an Objective-C static library to Xamarin.iOS

[Hinal Modi]

Steps :

  1) I already have an iOS app that I need to convert into a .dll file so that I may build it in Xamarian.iOS.

 2) Create an .a FAT file by converting my app to an Objective-C static library.

 3) I created Xamarian.iOS application after producing .a file. All of our classes and functions are used in the binding-based iOS application.

 4) Using objective sharpie, I created the files ApiDefination.cs and Struct.cs.

Actual Result:

  After implementing binding and adding new ApiDefination and Stuct files, the project gives me dozens of problems when I run it. Even after resolving all of these problems, my trampoline.g.cs file is still giving me errors.

This photo serves as a reference.

Expected Result:

  Successfully produce .dll file that I can use with Xamarin.iOS without experiencing a single problem .
