Xamarin debugging not working properly

Question

I updated Xamarin iOS inside Visual Studio and debugging stopped working for portable libraries, but it works inside an iOS project.

However, if I change debugging from iPhoneSimulator to iPhone and vice versa, breakpoints inside pcl start working, but if I change the code inside pcl, the breakpoint will no longer be affected.

These are the versions that I use. Xamarin 3.11.445.0 Xamarin.iOS 8.10.0.0 Update for Visual Studio 2013 version 12.0.31101.00 4

This upsets the inability to debug, all day trying to figure it out: s

Thanks!

This issue is fixed in the latest versions of Alpha and Beta, as described in the discussion of the release here: https://forums.xamarin.com/discussion/37275/alpha-release-xamarinvs-3-11-271-new-features-and -bug-fixes / p1

“Error 29628 - [XamarinVS] [iOS] Breakpoints in portable class libraries do not work because .mdb character files are not copied correctly. Related warning in the Exit → Debug window:“ The character file ... does not match the image '. Now fixed in beta and alpha channels.
