Hello, Monobjc is very strict when it comes to NIB loading, so I suspect a path problem at the startup.
As the only major difference is the packaging, can you try to use the NAnt tasks to do the packaging ? You can use the NAnt script use in the sample app as a starting point. You MUST run the nant command under MacOS X, as during the packaging, a chmod command is launched to give the startup script the executable flags.
