我想补充一点，即使有一个公认的答案——谁能说苹果不会拒绝那些有迹象表明是用Mono Touch构建的应用呢?

三个字:Linq to SQL

是的，很值。

所以，我对之前类似问题的回答是学习Objective-C。(另外，不要忘记调试支持)

This will probably offend some but to be honest, if you are going to do any serious development, you should learn Objective-C. Not knowing Objective-C in iPhone development will just be a hindrance. You won't be able to understand many examples; you have to deal with the quirks of Mono whereas if you had a working knowledge of Objective-C you could get a lot more out of the platform documentation. Personally, I don't understand the position that says increasing the amount of information you need in favor of using Mono over the platform's native language. It seems somewhat counterproductive to me. I think if this is a very expensive proposition (learning a new language) then it may be worthwhile spending some time on fundamental programming concepts so that learning new languages is a fairly cheap proposition.

另一位用户也这样写道:

现在单触摸对你来说更容易了。但之后就更难了。

例如，当新的种子出现时，你需要测试，但由于某种原因破坏了MonoTouch，会发生什么?

通过坚持使用Mono，任何时候你在寻找框架的资源时，你都必须在心里转换成你将如何在Mono中使用它们。你的应用二进制文件会更大，在使用Objective-C几个月后，你的开发时间不会更快，而其他应用开发者会比你更有优势，因为他们使用的是原生平台。

另一个需要考虑的问题是，您希望使用c#，因为您对该语言比Objective-C更熟悉。但是iPhone学习曲线的绝大部分并不是Objective-C，而是框架——你也必须调用c#。

对于任何平台，你都应该使用直接表达该平台设计理念的平台——在iPhone上，那就是Objective-C。从相反的角度考虑这个问题，如果一个习惯用GTK编程的Linux开发人员想要编写Windows应用程序，你会认真地建议他们不要使用c#而坚持使用GTK，因为这样做对他们来说“更容易”吗?

如果这是你唯一要开发的iPhone应用程序，而你对开发Mac应用程序毫无兴趣，那么MonoTouch可能是值得的。

如果你想要开发更多的iPhone应用，或者想要做一些Mac原生开发，那么学习Objective-C和相关框架可能是值得的。另外，如果你是那种喜欢学习新东西的程序员，这是一个有趣的新范式。

我会花时间在Objective-C上，主要是因为你可以从这样的网站上得到帮助。Objective-C的优点之一是你可以使用C和c++代码，而且有很多项目都经过了很好的测试。

另一件事是你的代码(语言选择)将被苹果支持。什么是ios5。例如，x删除了对第三方解决方案如MonoTouch?你会怎么告诉你的客户?

如果你还没有完全准备好转向Objective-C，也许使用HTML5等独立于平台的解决方案会更好?

使用Mono并不是一种依赖。它为iPhone操作系统增加了很多功能。LINQ, WCF, Silverlight应用程序之间的可共享代码，ASP。NET页面，一个WPF应用程序，一个Windows Form应用程序，还有针对Android的mono它也适用于Windows Mobile。

So, you can spend a bunch of time writing Objective-C (You'll see from many studies where the exact same sample code in C# is significantly less to write than OC) and then DUPLICATE it all for other platforms. For me, I chose MonoTouch because the Cloud App I'm writing will have many interfaces, the iPhone being only one of them. Having WCF data streaming from the cloud to MonoTouch app is insanely simple. I have core libraries that are shared among the various platforms and then only need to write a simple presentation layer for the iPhone/WinMobile/Android/SilverLight/WPF/ASP.NET deployments. Recreating it all in Objective-C would be an enormous waste of time both for initial dev and maintenance as the product continues to move forward since all functionality would have to be replicated rather than reused.

那些侮辱MonoTouch或暗示它的用户需要拐杖的人，是缺乏拥有。net框架的大蓝图，可能不理解逻辑与表示的正确分离，这种分离可以在跨平台和设备上重用。

Objective-C is interesting and very different from many common languages. I like a challenge and learning different approaches... but not when doing so impedes my progress or creates unnecessary re-coding. There are some really great things about the iPhone SDK framework, but all that greatness is fully supported with MonoTouch and cuts out all the manual memory management, reduces the amount of code required to perform the same tasks, allows me to reuse my assemblies, and keeps my options open to be able to move to other devices and platforms.
