Enter http://codebutler.github.com/monodevelop-monobjc/repo as the Url and click OK, then close the Repositories dialog.
Back in the Add-in Manager dialog, choose Install Add-ins.
Click Refresh, then select the new addins to be installed:

Usage

To start a new project, click File → New Solution, select the C# → OSX category, and choose a project type.

To convert an existing project:

Open up the .csproj file in a text editor.

Look for a <ProjectTypeGuids> element inside <Project>.

If the element already exists, add the Monobjc GUID to it, separated by a semicolon. For example if you have:

<ProjectTypeGuids>{FAE04EC0-301F-11D3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC}</ProjectTypeGuids>

Change it to:

<ProjectTypeGuids>{FAE04EC0-301F-11D3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC};{BAF265F1-4F39-46F3-BA25-37173E815138}</ProjectTypeGuids>

If the element does not exist, add a new one (inside <Project>):

<ProjectTypeGuids>{BAF265F1-4F39-46F3-BA25-37173E815138}</ProjectTypeGuids>
