Thanks for this, yes, I imagined there would be a lot of overhead using this approach, but there’s at least 6 man years of development gone into the C# code and it’s not really viable to rewrite it in Objective-C if it’s even possible.
All the Best

To run C# code you’ll need a CLR runtime and a .NET class library, so both of the technologies above will link Mono into your app. And the C# objects will have their own garbage-collected heap; I don’t know how big that starts. It’s totally do-able, it’s just an order of magnitude more overhead than adding a couple of Obj-C classes to your app.
