Xamarin debugging not working properly

Question

I updated Xamarin iOS inside Visual Studio and debugging stopped working for portable libraries but it is working inside the iOS project.

However if I change the debugging from iPhoneSimulator to iPhone and vice versa the break points inside the pcl start working but if I change the code inside the pcl the break point will not hit anymore.

These are the versions I am using. Xamarin 3.11.445.0 Xamarin.iOS 8.10.0.0 Visual Studio 2013 version 12.0.31101.00 update 4

It's kind of frustrating not being able to debug, spent the whole day trying to figure this out :s

Thanks!

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

"Bug 29628 - [XamarinVS] [iOS] Breakpoints in Portable Class Libraries do not work because the .mdb symbol files are not copied properly. Related warning in the 'Output -> Debug' window: 'Symbol file ... doesn't match image'. Now fixed in the Beta and Alpha channels.
