I recommend you to download the attachment from this link.

I was successful with getting it to work. I set the Web project on Windows machine under IIS 7 with only basic authentication enabled and .NET authorization to a specific user. Then I just run the console app under MonoDevelop on my Mac machine and it worked without any errors.

In the MonoTouch app the binding.Security.Transport property is not generated.
