I have the following additional mtouch arguments
-cxx -gcc_flags "-lc++" -v -v -v -v
If I turn off the linker everything builds and work fine. I need the linker to work to get my app approved by the app store as it strips out things I don't need (eg. CallKit). Any suggestions?
I've been experiencing the same problem and just found the solution. This appears to be a problem with the current beta versions of Xamarin iOS (10.4) and mono framework.
Assuming that you're not on the stable channel of Xamarin:
Open Xamarin Studio on the Mac and from the main menu click check for updates. Switch back to the stable channel and downgrade your Mono Framework and Xamarin iOS versions to the current releases.
After doing so I was able to build app archive with linking enabled for release in the app store with Xamarin Studio.
If you've been using the Visual Studio for Mac Preview, this version of the Mono Framework isn't compatible with it so you'll have to stick with Xamarin Studio or Visual Studio on Windows.

My solution consists of 3 projects:
My backend project with assembly My_Test_App (portable)
My_Test_App.Android
My_Test_App.iOS
I develop using VS2015 and use mac to build and deploy. It works fine in iOS simulator. My iOS project do not use linker. Also i have LLVM and incremental build already unchecked.
But when i tried to debug to iPhone device, i got this error:
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error Could not AOT the assembly/Users/myMacName/Library/Caches/Xamarin/mtbs/builds/My_Test_App.iOS/c7eaf4168fcb1f8aaecd3a6cbb0f37ee/obj/iPhone/Release/mtouch-cache/64/Build/My_Test_App.dll' My_Test_App.iOS
My question is:
How do you disable the AOT in the Xamarin.iOS project? When i check the csproj file of the iOS project, it does not have like in the droid project.
Is disabling the AOT the correct way to solve it?
Thank you for answering!

You cannot disable AOT on iOS, your project won't work as iDevices do not allow JIT'ing
No unfortunately no.
We'd need a longer build log (add '-v -v -v' as 'mtouch' arguments), but it can happen because the assembly is too big. you might want to enable Linking All Assemblies in the iOS project settings.

No idea if it helps, but here is a list with all installed MS Software:
https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=5062EFE7E0C8ECCC!2721&authkey=!APk3skYPRCffPWQ&ithint=folder%2c
Ok, i found the solution myself.
similar to this (http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/de-DE/baf613fc-3b24-4f47-9800-38499965e9dc/vs2010-is-using-a-wrong-compiler-Version) question, my "Microsoft.Cpp.Win32.user" property sheet contained references to the vs2008 directories. i have no clue how they got there, but removing them solved my problem.
open View -> Other Windows -> Property Manager
double click on Microsoft.Cpp.Win32.user
go to VC++ Directories
rows which have been changed are bold. on all bold rows, click inside the text field, then on the Dropdown menu select inherit from parent or Project Defaults
I verified that it now uses the correct Compiler by compiling the following snippet:
auto asd = std::make_unique<int>();
make_unique has been added with VS2013.
Anyone have a clue, what changed These values?
The difference between libwinutils.vcxproj and winutils.vcxproj shows the problem.
<Import Project="$(VCTargetsPath)\Microsoft.Cpp.props" /> appears before Release|Win32 PropertyGroup.
<Import Project="$(VCTargetsPath)\Microsoft.Cpp.props" />
<PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(Platform)'=='Release|Win32'" Label="Configuration">
<ConfigurationType>Application</ConfigurationType>
<UseDebugLibraries>false</UseDebugLibraries>
<WholeProgramOptimization>true</WholeProgramOptimization>
<CharacterSet>Unicode</CharacterSet>
<PlatformToolset>v110</PlatformToolset>
</PropertyGroup>
Open winutils.vcxproj, and move <Import ...> after Release|Win32 PropertyGroup, like the following quote:
<PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(Platform)'=='Release|Win32'" Label="Configuration">
<ConfigurationType>Application</ConfigurationType>
<UseDebugLibraries>false</UseDebugLibraries>
<WholeProgramOptimization>true</WholeProgramOptimization>
<CharacterSet>Unicode</CharacterSet>

</PropertyGroup>
<Import Project="$(VCTargetsPath)\Microsoft.Cpp.props" />
I have successfully built winutils of hadoop-2.7.0-src with VS2012 toolset.
I'm currently working on a build for a project, but I'm facing difficulties with the TFS Build.
I just want to create a zip package, using a TFS Build, with parameters from IIS Express.
CSPROJ configuration:
IIS Express is present on my machine and on the build server (I can access to the *.svc files in the project).
And all is on source control.
When I use the "Build Deployment Package" on my machine, I've got the zip.
When I use the "Build Deployment Package" on the build server, I've got the zip.
When I use the MSBuild's command line on both, I've got the zip.
The command line in question :
"C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe" "C:\WORKSPACES\[...]\Project.csproj" /p:Platform=AnyCPU;Configuration=Release /p:DeployTarget=Package /p:DeployOnBuild=true;DefaultPackageFileName=ZipName.zip
But when I put the same command line in a build, it fails:
"C:\Builds\2\[...]\Project.csproj" (default target) (1) ->
(PackageUsingManifest target) ->
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v10.0\Web\Microsoft.Web.Publishing.targets(3009,5): error : Web deployment task failed.(Object of type 'manifest' and path 'C:\Builds\2\Project Release\Binaries\_PublishedWebsites\Project_Package\Project.SourceManifest.xml' cannot be created.)

I know I'm missing something, but I don't see what... so, if you have suggestions...it will be very welcome! :)
The tfs build did not run with the same account than me when I'm logged on the build server.
Is IIS Express is well launch with a tfs build ?
When I look in C:\Users\svcTfsBuild\Documents, there is no IISExpress directory, like with my user (svcTfsBuild is the service account for TFS Build).
The main goal:
Obtain a zip package with a tfs build with those parameters (parameters.xml within the zip package).
OR
Have a zip package where we can specify Application Pool and Physical Path when importing.
Like this:
<parameters>
<parameter name="IIS Web Application Name" defaultValue="Default Web Site/Project" tags="IisApp">
<parameterEntry kind="ProviderPath" scope="AppHostConfig" match="^ProjectTest/Project$" />
<parameterEntry kind="ProviderPath" scope="contentPath" match="^C:\\WORKSPACES\\[...]\\obj\\Release\\Package\\PackageTmp$" />
<parameterEntry kind="ProviderPath" scope="setAcl" match="^C:\\WORKSPACES\\[...]\\obj\\Release\\Package\\PackageTmp$" />
</parameter>
<parameter name="IIS Web Application Pool Name" defaultValue="ASP.NET v4.0">
<parameterEntry kind="DeploymentObjectAttribute" scope="application" match="application[#applicationPool='Clr4IntegratedAppPool']/#applicationPool" />
</parameter>
<parameter name="IisVirtualDirectoryPhysicalPath" defaultValue="D:\CompanyName\Project" tags="PhysicalPath">
<parameterEntry kind="DestinationVirtualDirectory" scope=".*" match="^C:\\WORKSPACES\\[...]$" />
</parameter>
</parameters>
Note : we can's specify the configuration in a parameters.xml directly on the csproj because the workspace are not the same on our machines, on the tfs build server...
I hope this is clear
EDIT: suggestion from drk
Like you said, I run the command line from the service account, and got this, in particular:

Done Building Project "C:\WORKSPACES\[...]\Project.csproj" (default targets) -- FAILED.
Build FAILED.
I've checked the service account (SvcTfsBuild in my case).
He has full control over the workspace (so the source code).
And my account and the SvcTfsBuild account are on the same groups (local administrator).
But the TFS BUILD log (verbose mode) did not show any permission problem...
EDIT 2013/03/25
I've uncheck the checkbox "Use IIS Express" in the Web tab.
The build generate the good zip package.
So, I asume there is a problem only with IIS Express.
In the build, I've had an "InvokeProcess" on the sequence "Run On Agent", just after "CreateLabel".
It launch ISS Express with those arguments :
/site:Project-Site
In the log file, I've got a Result to 0 (so, I assume ISS Express is well launch, if not, it is supposed to throw an exception).
But, if the command line is not well formed or wrong (ie: with /site and /path wich cannot be combined), the result is also 0.
And if I launch ISS Express that way, the build is stopped (iisexpress wait a manual action to stop or just listen).
EDIT 2 2013/03/25
To launch IIS Express in the same time than the build, I've made this :
On the Parallel, I've got a variable named "BuildFinished" wich is set to True in the Finally of the build process (on left).
But, I've again the same error (Site '' does not exist).
I've also find a difference between the two Project.SourceManifest.xml when build through "Build Deployment Package" (in VS2010) and through the TFBUILD.
Build Deployment Package :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<sitemanifest>
<appHostConfig path="Project-Site/Project" />
<contentPath path="C:\WORKSPACES\Project\obj\Release\Package\PackageTmp" />
<setAcl path="C:\WORKSPACES\Project\obj\Release\Package\PackageTmp" setAclResourceType="Directory" />
<setAcl path="C:\WORKSPACES\Project\obj\Release\Package\PackageTmp" setAclUser="anonymousAuthenticationUser" setAclResourceType="Directory" />
</sitemanifest>
TFBUILD :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<sitemanifest>
<appHostConfig path="/Project" />
<contentPath path="C:\Builds\1\Project\obj\Release\Package\PackageTmp" />
<setAcl path="C:\Builds\1\Project\obj\Release\Package\PackageTmp" setAclResourceType="Directory" />
<setAcl path="C:\Builds\1\Project\obj\Release\Package\PackageTmp" setAclUser="anonymousAuthenticationUser" setAclResourceType="Directory" />
</sitemanifest>
The path value is not the same.
After a couple of trys, I think the problem is between IIS Express and MSDeploy wich can't work together (this is the one saying "Site '' does not exist.").
So, instead of thrying to make it work, we change our mind to use a configuration wich works: modifying the csproj during the build processs in order to use IIS.
Step 1: IIS on the build server
Create an application pool: the name and the Framework version are the two things that matters. Nothing more.
Create the application: name and application pool are important. You can use C:\temp as physical path.
Step 2: Build's definition
You have two choices: create a custom build activity (better one) or do it inside the xaml (ugly one).
The goal, is to have the followings steps:
On the "Run On Agent" sequence, just after the "If Create Label"
Remove the readonly attribute on the targeted csproj (the one on the workspace created by TFS)
Read the csproj's content
Replace the following XML tags
<UseIISExpress>True</UseIISExpress> by <UseIISExpress>False</UseIISExpress>
<UseIIS>False</UseIIS> by <UseIIS>True</UseIIS>
<IncludeIisSettings>False</IncludeIisSettings> by <IncludeIisSettings>true</IncludeIisSettings>
<IISUrl>{IIS Express URL}</IISUrl> by <IISUrl>{IIS URL}</IISUrl>
/!\ Beware: the booleans can be True or true!
/!\ Beware2: if using Cassini, the IISUrl's tag may have a word wrap, like:
`<IISUrl>
</IISUrl>`
This happened only with one of the 4 dev's machine.
{IIS Express URL}: is like http://localhost:8080/ or http://localhost:8080/Application with IIS Express or empty with Cassini.
{IIS URL}: is like http://localhost/Application.
And finally, overwrite the csproj (remember, the one in the TFS's workspace, not the on on source control) with the modify content.
{IIS Express URL} and {IIS URL} can be arguments from the build, but only if the build take the csproj one by one (1 build = 1 zip package, so 1 csproj have to be modified).
With that solution (I think there is a better one that I don't know), we use a configuration that we know it works.
When the zip package will be import in IIS, the application pool and the physical path can be change.
And this is our goal.
Hope this helps.

If your compiling a windows project then make sure you have the application type selected as 'Windows Application' not 'Console Application'.
Also, VS uses wWinMain if you want to use Unicode.
