[MonoDevelop] MacOSX Lion + MonoDevelop 2.8.2 + Mono for Android not installed

[Alan]

Hi,

This is actually the most bizarre issue I've ever seen. The code path which
throws the 'Mono for Android is not installed' error is *identical* for the
case where you open an existing project and the case where you start a new
project. The first time the Mono for Android code is touched, a static
constructor runs which essentially verifies that the file "/
Developer/MonoAndroid//usr/**lib/mandroid/Mono.Android.**DebugRuntime-debug.apk"
exists, which it does.

However, if the file is *not* detected, then Mono for Android is marked as
not being installed and the information in the about dialog will display "Mono
for Android not installed", which yours does. The code which populates the
information in the about dialog is
https://gist.github.com/c29a1fd1aaf2bcbf2075 . The code which pops up the
error dialog is: https://gist.github.com/b34533235d56f4382e28 . This
variable is only assigned to once so it is impossible for you to be unable
to open an existing project and yet able to create a new one unless
something has gone horrifically wrong in Mono.

The log file should be found at
/Users/moljac/Library/Logs/MonoDevelop-2.8/MonoDevelop.log
. You missed the 'Logs' part of the path when you checked before. I'd love
a log file from immediately after you try to open an existing project and
it fails and also from when you create a new android project and it doesn't
throw an exception.

If you can repeatedly get this issue when opening existing projects I'll
sort out a special debug build which contains *much* more logging to try
and figure out exactly what has gone wrong.
