Xamarin Studio / VS for Mac Storyboard won't open
I bought a new MacBook Pro for general iOS app development. Before I sold my old one, I pushed my code to the BitBucket repository.
Now I have installed VS for Mac and Xamarin Studio and pulled the source code from bitbucket. Everything works fine (building, debugging, etc.), but designing in the storyboard designer won't work.
I am getting the following exception:

As per the exception, my xml (storyboard) is not valid and cannot be parsed. Somehow I was able to open the storyboard on my old MacBook (6 months ago). It is also possible to open the storyboard via the XCode Interface Builder.

Any suggestions how to fix this? I really don't want to start redesigning my app.
Thank!

After a long time and without Hamarin's help, I figured out where the problem was.
Steps I took to solve the problem:
- Copy the entire error stack to the editor
- Start reading from the bottom (as usual)
- Figure out where the last exception happened
- Comment out the corresponding element / attribute in the xml out
- Repeat step 2 → 4 until you get an error message
In my case, there were several invalid elements, for example:
2017-11-30 23:50:42.8] ERROR: Error in type parser for: UIKit.UIFont
System.NotImplementedException: <font key="NSFont" metaFont="smallSystem" />
and
com.xamarin.MTHosting.3d875c911.stderr: 2017-11-30 23:45:45.638 MonoTouchDesignServerUnified[64451:979709] [2017-11-30 23:45:45.6] ERROR: Error in type parser for: UIKit.UIFont
System.NotImplementedException: <font key="NSFont" metaFont="cellTitle" />
So, I just opened the storyboard with a source editor and commented out these elements.
And finally, I can edit my storyboard again.

The problem is that the Xcode UI builder adds an additional attribute called "device" that specifies the initial device setting. Open the .xib using a source editor and just remove the 'device' attribute and it should work fine.
