I had this too. I opened XCode on the mac and there was an prompt for installing additional components waiting for me. I answered yes and then restarted VS.net when it completed and now it builds fine.

I can second this; there is no visual indication that anything is wrong with the build it just churns away. Opening XCode and clicking yes to the dialog that additional components still needed to be installed worked for me as well.
