That error can only occur at build time, not when running an application.

It means that one of your dependencies (e.g. a 3rd party binary assembly) has a reference to System.Web.dll. That assembly is not shipped with (any version of) Xamarin.iOS.

The error does not occur on the simulator because:

it's, by default, not using the linker (which resolves everything);
it's using the Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler so it will hit a missing assembly (or member) only when it try execute the code that requires it;
the Ahead-Of-Time (AOT) compiler, required for running on devices, needs to pre-compile everything, i.e. anything missing will be detected at build time (not runtime)

So,any solution for it?

Track your solution dependency on System.Web and either update it (with a Xamarin.iOS compatible version) or rebuild it, form source, against the assemblies that are shipped with Xamarin.iOS

I had tracked third party assemblies but not got any clue.
