I'm working on a project for iOS and I'm doing the programming with Visual Studios and it connects to a mac server using Xamarin. I recently tried to add more views to the storyboard and an additional class. When I tried to build the code, I received this error. http://pastebin.com/Ub5s89aa This is what the output from the console. http://pastebin.com/fhWDy2cJ

I don't know what this error means and when I tried to look up any part of the error, nothing helped. I cleaned my builded and tried to rebuild, and I also closed Visual Studios and reopen it to see if that help, but it didn't. Has anyone else had this problem before?

Restarting the CoreSimulatorService solved the issue on my machine.
