I want to integrate the Aviary SDK Objective-C library into Monotouch project. I use 'Monotouch Binding Project' template for this. I have built the DLL (Thanks smart people!) The project is compiled and run on the simulator.
However I can NOT show the main Aviary view and the following code
this.afPhotoEditor = new AFPhotoEditorController(UIImage.FromFile("Images/site.jpg"));
AFDelegate afDelegate = new AFDelegate(this);
this.afPhotoEditor.Delegate = afDelegate;
this.PresentModalViewController(this.afPhotoEditor, true);
returns the error:

It seems this error (Cannot create an NSPersistentStoreCoordinator with a nil model) is linked with resource bundle what Aviary SDK requires to add.
From Aviary iOS Setup Guide:
4. Copy resources Make sure AviarySDKResources.bundle is included in your target's "Copy Bundle Resources" build phase.
So I added this bundle via 'Add Existing Folder..' menu item in MonoDevelop.

Thank you!

Adding most files like this to your project with Build Action of Content will solve the issue.
