I have just started with XNA development on Windows. But as I'm a fan of iOS I had to try porting my test code over to Monotouch on the Mac. I used these instructions: http://www.facepuncher.com/blogs/10parameters/?p=42 But this is so much (manual) work! And it really doesn't answer open topics like: why would I copy all the XNB files and in addition all the resources, like PNGs?

Is there maybe a tool that automatically converts a Windows XNA project into a Monotouch iOS project or at least creates the correct folder structure?

I don't believe there is a magical "Port it!" button that will do everything for you, however ExEn does a pretty good job of getting rid of most of the manual work, while maintaining most of your current code.

But ExEn is yet another implementation of XNA on iOS. I'd like to stick with Monogame. – Krumelur Feb 10 '12 at 11:41
Then I'm not sure you will get a magic port switch that does everything for you. ExEn uses Monotouch, so it should be similar enough for a basic XNA test project port. – electroflame Feb 10 '12 at 17:00

Although this video targets MonoDroid, it's still a good reference and can answer most of your questions: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hF0sm5KGPPM
