Resolved this bug, it was because of the extensions in visual studio for mac. I just compared my extensions with another Visual studio for mac and made it defaults it switched back from Mono Deveop. It happens because before visual studio for mac, it was Mono Develop and it just revert back to its previous version.

Explanation
This error can occur when Xamarin Studio fails to load key add-ins. MonoDevelop appears because it's the foundation underneath Xamarin Studio.
Important note Unless you've manually edited the add-ins or something similar; this is most likely caused by a bug. In this case, please contact support, or file a bug.

Troubleshooting
Usually this issue can be resolved by the following steps:
Close Xamarin Studio. (aka MonoDevelop per the symptoms)
Zip up a copy of the Xamarin Studio Cache from your machine to submit with a bug report:
Mac: ~/Library/Caches/XamarinStudio-5.0
PC: %LOCALAPPDATA%\XamarinStudio-5.0\Cache
Delete the cache from the location listed in step 2.
Restart Xamarin Studio. It should automatically restore the cache, generally correcting the error in the process.
