SIGABRT error when running MonoTouch application
- by hambonious
I'm new to MonoTouch and 9 times out of 10, when I try to run my MonoTouch app on the iPhone simulator (debug mode and regular), I receive a long error output that begins with the following message:
  Error connecting stdout and stderr (127.0.0.1:10001)
  Couldn't register com.yourcompany.[appnamehere] with the bootstrap server. Error: unknown error code.
  This generally means that another instance of this process was already running or is hung in the debugger.Stacktrace:
  
  at (wrapper managed-to-native) MonoTouch.UIKit.UIApplication.UIApplicationMain (int,string[],intptr,intptr) <0x00004
    at (wrapper managed-to-native) MonoTouch.UIKit.UIApplication.UIApplicationMain (int,string[],intptr,intptr) <0x00004
    at MonoTouch.UIKit.UIApplication.Main (string[],string,string) <0x00089
    at MonoTouch.UIKit.UIApplication.Main (string[]) <0x00014
    at PodcastManager.Application.Main (string[]) <0x00010
    at (wrapper runtime-invoke) .runtime_invoke_void_object (object,intptr,intptr,intptr) <0x00043
And ends with:
  ================================================================= 
  
  Got a SIGABRT while executing native code. This usually indicates a fatal error in the mono runtime or one of the native libraries used by your application.
  
  =================================================================
The weird thing is it will work some of the time.  Once, a reboot of my machine did it.  Others, just restarting MonoDevelop and/or the simulator.
I can provide the entire error output if you think that may help.
Any ideas?
