[Mono-dev] On what platform|cpu-arch|mono-version does full AOT actually work?

[Zoltan Varga]

Hi,

  mono on iphone is not really a supported configuration right now, it
works for some people,
but expect to run into lots of problems. Cross compiling mono for arm
is especially fraught
with problems, better to compile on the device itself.
