Fixes these warnings, which we don't care about:

We need to strongname our MSBuild assemblies, so that different versions
can be loaded side-by-side (one example being having both a legacy and a
.NET project in the same solution).
This required setting a version for Xamarin.iOS.Tasks.dll and
Xamarin.Mac.Tasks.dll, otherwise strong-naming won't work properly (all
versions of an assembly would have the same identity).
Also sign the corresponding test assemblies, since they poke into the
internals of the task assemblies.
Fixes https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/issues/9835.
How we create the app manifest (Info.plist) has to be modified so that we can add
support for getting all the values from MSBuild properties (i.e. no Info.plist in
the project), as well as having multiple partial app manifests as well, that gets
merged into the final app manifest.
Here's the new process:
1. The user can specify values in multiple ways:
* An Info.plist in their project file (by using a `None` item with
filename "Info.plist" or with a `Link` metadata with filename
"Info.plist"). We figure this out in the DetectAppManifest target.
* A partial plist in their project (using the `PartialAppManifest` item group)
* Some MSBuild properties can also add values.
The precedence is: MSBuild properties can be overridden by the Info.plist,
which can be overridden by a partial plist.
2. In the `CompileAppManifest` target we get all the inputs from above, and compute
a temporary app manifest, which is written to a temporary output file.
3. In the `ReadAppManifest` target, we read the temporary output file and outputs
numerous MSBuild properties (most of then private)
4. We run other targets that may add more entries to the final app manifest (these
tasks might depend on the values from `ReadAppManifest`). These entries are written
to partial plists, and added to the _PostCompilePartialAppManifest item group.
The targets in question are:
* _CompileImageAssets * _CompileCoreMLModels
5. In the new `WriteAppManifest` target, we read the temporary output file from `ReadAppManifest`
+ any `_PartialAppManfiest` items and merge them all together to get the final Info.plist.
This also required moving the computation of CFBundleIdentifier from the DetectSigningIdentity
task to the CompileAppManifest task. This also meant reordering these two tasks,
so that the DetectSigningIdentity task is executed after the CompileAppManifest task
(technically after the ReadAppManifest task), because the DetectSigningIdentity task
needs to know the bundle identifier.
This way we can handle multiple scenarios easily (most of this is not covered by
these changes, and will be implemented separately):
* No Info.plist at all, all non-default values come from MSBuild properties.
* A single Info.plist, where everything is specified.
* An Info.plist with multiple partial app manifests as well.
* Correct Xamarin.Mac profiling properties
Seems like it was broken as of 7c15428fc2
If MtouchProfiling is not set for Xamarin.Mac apps, it would not have a value. This behavioural change was also not replicated in the IDE, which still sets `Profiling`.
Change the property so it inherits MtouchProfiling if Profiling is not set and detauls to false.
* Update Xamarin.Mac.Common.props
* Have a single implementation of AutoActivateCustomFonts.
* Share the GetTargetDevices implementations between ACTool and IBTool, after removing
a condition for Xcode 6.0 (which we don't support anymore, so that check could
be removed) the implementations were identical.
There was a main version of this target for Xamarin.iOS, and then numerous dummy targets for two scenarios:
* Building app extensions.
* Building macOS apps.
The first one is handled by the '_CanArchive' property (will be false when
building app extensions), and for the second case I've added it to the
condition on the CreateIpa target.
This way we don't have to have logic elsewhere about when it's valid to call
CreateIpa.
We use two different properties for the same thing: MtouchEnableSGenConc and
EnableSGenConc. Going forward, we're sticking with just EnableSGenConc, but
we'll keep accepting MtouchEnableSGenConc if it's set.
The iOS version and the Mac version were slightly different in that they were
adding different things to the archive, but both seemed to be resilient to
those files not existing, so I just merged both implementations to try to add
everything to the archive.
The iOS version of the cleaning tasks were much more comprehensive, so those
won out when there were any differences.
This also required moving the GetDirectoriesTask to shared code.
The `$(_UsingXamarinSdk)` property has been renamed to help improve
external usability. This change increases parity with the Android SDK,
which currently defines `$(UsingAndroidNETSdk)` for internal and
external use.
* Add support for Xamarin.Mac arm64
* Add compile product definition task
Xamarin.Mac can be provided with a ProductDefinition file for the generated pkg. Normally, providing a product definition was optional. However, with Apple Silicon, we have an extra issue : `productbuild` needs to know what architectures your package target. If not provided with them, it will guess to the best of its abilities. However, on Catalina and lower, the guess is x86_64, even if you have an arm64 slice. To fix this, we add a new task to compile the product definition and use this file to create the pkg. If you provide your own Product Definition, we can check and warn if the architectures don't match what we expect. If the file doesn't exist or there is no architecture, we set it ourselves based on our target architectures.
* Don't reference dynamic objC_send on arm64
When building in debug, we currently try to link dynamic objC_send symbols when targeting a 64-bit architecture. However, this is actually only defined on Intel architectures, not on arm64, so we end up failing because we're referring symbols that don't exist. Rework the `GetRequiredSymbols` to take an abi, and tag those symbols to only be valid on i386/x86_64, so they don't get referred at all when building on arm64, but still get referred in x86_64.
* Fix improper delete/move with already existing directories
* Fix stret requirement for Xamarin.Mac in arm64.
The generator supposes that we're running in x64 mode, refactor to take into account the possibility of running in arm64.
* Implement OS version generation in Product.plist, based on MinimumSystemVersion of the app
* Re-generalize some mmp registrar rules
`Microsoft.macOS.registrar` was missed by the current rule set
* Fix mmp tests
* Set E7072 as not translated
Tests were failing otherwise
* Rename Xamarin.Mac lib/x86_64 folder to 64bits (currently all targeted archs are the same)
* Fix style issues
* Fix `ToLower` usage for invariant usage
* Fix xtro-sharpie test
These changes add support for executing iOS and MacDev tasks remotely (on a Mac) when running a build from Windows, and creates a specific .NET6 pack for Windows that's only included in the MSI.
For now this only enables builds for the iOS Simulator, physical devices are not yet supported.
- Each task decides if it should run locally or remotely depending on the SessionId property, which will only have a value on Windows.
- The XMA Build agent is now part of this repo and will be included in the iOS .NET6 Windows pack.
- On this first version we're including some Windows specific tasks and references into the Xamarin.iOS.Tasks project for simplicity, but those will be moved to the Windows specific project.
------------
* [msbuild] Adds support for executing Xamarin.iOS tasks from Windows
* [msbuild] Adds support for executing Xamarin.MacDev tasks from Windows
* Added XMA Build Agent to Xamarin.MacDev.Tasks.sln
* Fixes some MSBuild versioning problems
* Makes the XMA Build agent load Xamarin.iOS tasks
We need to load a type from the iOS tasks assembly so we can run the tasks requested by MSBuild from Windows. We only need to load Xamarin.iOS.Tasks.dll since MacDev.tasks is already embedded in that one.
There's a little trick on the csproj, we can't directly use the Xamarin.iOS.Tasks project ref assemblies because that includes both Xamarin.iOS.Tasks.dll and Xamarin.MacDev.Tasks.dll, so the MacDev tasks will collide. We use the project ref only for build dependency purposes but we add an assembly reference to Xamarin.iOS.Tasks.dll.
* Added Xamarin.iOS.Tasks.Windows project
* Removed unnecessary references on Xamarin.iOS.Tasks.Windows.csproj
* Adds Messaging assemblies when ILRepacking Xamarin Tasks
The Xamarin Task assemblies now depend on Messaging, so we need the Messaging assemblies to be packed into Xamarin.Mac.Tasks and Xamarin.iOS.Tasks. Also had to remove the direct Messaging dependencies from the build agent since those are already contained in Xamarin.iOS.Tasks
* Adds a reference to Messaging.Core targets to the Agent's project
* [msbuild] Adds Xamarin iOS Windows targets
* [msbuild] Adds missing dependencies to Xamarin.iOS.Tasks
This should fix build errors because of missing dependencies. Had to move System.Net.Mqtt.Server from the Build agent project to the tasks one to avoid conflicts with System.Diagnostics.Tracer.
* [dotnet] Creates iOS Windows pack
Creates a new pack for Windows specific (targets, build agent, etc.) files that shouldn't be installed on the Mac. We have a separate package for this to avoid increasing the core pack size with things that are not needed when using it from macOS.
* Fixes type in dotnet makefile
* [dotnet] Fixes the iOS Windows pack generation
- The windows pack should not include the Sdk and Targets folders
- For now we'll just create an iOS pack
- Fixes the path to the files to include on the Windows Sdk pack
* Added reference to the Windows iOS SDK from the Xamarin.iOS.Common.targets
Added a property to navigate to the Windows iOS SDK folder, based on a naming convention that assumes that both packs will always have the same version
* Added reference to the core iOS SDK from the Windows iOS SDK
Added a property to navigate to the core iOS SDK folder, based on a naming convention that assumes that both packs will always have the same version
* Updated Messaging version
* Override MessagingBuildClientAssemblyFile property and correctly imported props from targets
* [dotnet] Make Windows pack using target files from the output dir
We need to take the target files from the output dir to include targets that are part of nuget packages, otherwise we will only include targets from our source
* [dotnet] Adds the Windows Sdk pack to the workload manifest
* [msbuild] Fixes the Windows Sdk pack name
* [dotnet] Merge Mqtt instead of Mqtt.Server
We only need System.Net.Mqtt to be merged into Xamarin.iOS.Tasks
* Updated Messaging version
* [dotnet] Several fixes for the Windows Sdk
- Adds missing task CollectMonotouchReferences
- Merges more dependencies into Xamarin.iOS.Tasks.dll needed by XMA
- Updates the msbuild/Makefile to include files from both the output dir and the source dir
- Overrides the agents directory to look for them on the Windows pack
* [dotnet] Fixes the XMA Build agent
- The build agent is an app so it cannot target ns2.0
- The MSBuild dependencies should be copied into the agent zip file
- Avoids copying all the Xamarin iOS SDK core targets into the build agent, since those are not needed
- Ensures the broker zip file is copied into the Xamarin.iOS.Windows.Tasks output dir so its included in the Windows pack
* Bumps Xamarin.Messaging to 1.2.102
* Adds net6-win branch to trigger builds
* Adds Messaging.Client missing dependency to Xamarin.Mac.Tasks
* Added Xamarin.Messaging.Apple.Tasks project and VerifyXcodeVersion Task
* Fix unloaded Xamarin.Messaging.Build project
* Added Build contracts project and unified Xamarin.Messaigng.Apple.Tasks in Xamarin.iOS.Tasks.Windows
Also added missing tasks and changes .After.targets
* Updated Xamarin.Messaging version
* Build agent - reference MSBuild assemblies from the framework
Since the assemblies will be included in the build agent we need those to be the ones that come from the framework to be compatible with macOS
* [msbuild] Fixes _UpdateDynamicLibraryId target
The tasks con this target need to be executed remotely (when building from Windows).
* Updates resources
* Bump Xamarin.Messaging
Fixes problems when executing Exec task remotely
* [dotnet] Overrides Publish targets to execute them remotely from Windows
The `_CopyResolvedFilesToPublishPreserveNewest` and `_CopyResolvedFilesToPublishAlways` targets essentially copy files into the app bundle. Since those are part of the .NET SDK we need to override those so we can pass to the Copy task the SessionId parameter and then it will be executed remotely when building from Windows.
This is done in a Windows.After.targets file so it won't affect builds on macOS.
* Added ILMerge to Xamarin.iOS.Tasks.Windows
Also modified ILMerge.targets to not include System assemblies because we don't need them on the Windows package
* Bumps Messaging
This new version of messaging fixes a problem when copying task inputs from Windows to the Mac
* [dotnet] Fixes copying files to the Mac when building from Windows
When building from Windows there are .NET SDK targets that copy dynamic libraries from the SDK to the intermediate output directory or other files to the publish directory, since we can't control those we can't run them remotely so we need to copy those files to the Mac to ensure other targets will find those.
* [dotnet] Fixes how files are copied to the output dir
- Before executing `_CopyResolvedFilesToPublishPreserveNewest` and `_CopyResolvedFilesToPublishAlways` we copy the input files for those targets to the Mac
- Then we override the original targets to execute the same copy task as the original ones but on the Mac, so the output files are placed in the right location for the following targets to pick them up.
* Fixes typo on Xamarin.iOS.Common.After.targets
* Bumps Xamarin.Messaging
* [msbuild] Fixes VerifyXcodeVersion and ResolveUTIs tasks
Both tasks were not being able to connect to the Mac mostly because of ILRepack, there were kind of 2 versions of Xamarin.Messaging, one merged into Xamarin.iOS.Tasks and another one merged into Xamarin.iOS.Windows.Tasks. Because of this the build connection object registered on the task could not be casted to the build connection type.
This essentially moves both tasks into the Xamarin.iOS.Tasks assembly to avoid this issue, and as part of that also includes the Messaging contracts into that same project.
* [msbuild] Fixes warnings when building from Windows
* [dotnet] Adds missing assemblies to merge into Xamarin.iOS.Tasks
Those 2 new assemblies will only be used from Windows and we need their implementation instead of the ref assemblies. In the future we will need to find a way of doing this on the Windows only pack insted of doing it on the core Xamarin.iOS.Tasks assembly.
* [dotnet] Compute PublishTrimmed on a target
We need to do this so the property is evaluated after VS on Windows connects to the Mac, otherwise by default IsMacEnabled is false from Windows.
* Bumps Messaging to 1.2.111
* [dotnet] Execute ILLink remotely when building from Windows
- Overrides the ILLink task and _RunILLink target to add the hability to execute it remotely, adding input and output properties so files are copied to the server and output files are created on Windows.
- This "custom" ILLink task will only be executed from the Windows targets so when building from a Mac it will execute the core SDK task.
* [dotnet] Fixes intput/output files creation for linker tasks
- Custom Linker options file should be created on the Mac so we need to execute WriteLinesToFile remotely
- All the *.items files from the linker are created on the Mac so we need to execute ReadItemsFromFile remotely
- CompileNativeCode: fixes the OutputFile metadata path, otherwise the execution fails; also copies all the files in the declared "IncludeDirectories" to the Mac
- Avoids copying input files from Windows to the Mac when running LinkNativeCode since the real input files already exist on the Mac, and Windows contains only empty files just to make MSBuild inputs/outputs check work. If we copy those empty files to the Mac we brake the build.
* [msbuild] Minor fixes after merging from main
* [dotnet] Adds missing output files to the Xamarin.iOS.Tasks.Windows project
The output of this project was missing Messaging build targets and the build agent zip file that are needed to create the dotnet Windows specific pack
* [dotnet] Fixes dotnet Windows specific pack generation
Ensures the Windows projects are built and the files are copied to the dotnet pack directory before creating the package.
It also adds a variable to enable building this pack.
* [dotnet] Adds iOS Windows specific pack to iOS only MSI
There's only a Windows specific pack for iOS available for now, so we should only add it to the iOS SDK MSI
* [dotnet] Create a separate bundle for the iOS Windows MSI
We need to do this to avoid including the Windows specific pack in the pkg. Also for now we'll only create an MSI for iOS since it's the only supported platform from Windows.
* Fixes spacing issues in Xamarin.iOS.Tasks.csproj
* Bumps Touch.Unit back to 05db76
* Fixes formatting problems
* [msbuild] Replaces error E0176 by E0186
Because there's a warning W0176 that will overlap with the error
* [msbuild] Fixes CompileEntitlements task
There were 2 problems:
1- The if statement on the DefaultEntitlementsPath was wrong, because we should return the base value if there's no SessionId (which means the task is running on a Mac)
2- We should copy to the Mac the default entitlements file if no custom file was specified
* Several fixes to cleanup the code to support iOS from Windows
* Apply suggestions from code review
Co-authored-by: Rolf Bjarne Kvinge <rolf@xamarin.com>
* Formatting fixes in Xamarin.Messaging.Build
* Reverted formatting changes in CompileEntitlements.cs
* More formatting fixes
* Update msbuild/Messaging/Xamarin.Messaging.Build/Handlers/ExecuteTaskMessageHandler.cs
Co-authored-by: Rolf Bjarne Kvinge <rolf@xamarin.com>
* Fixes order of MSBuild errors in the resource file
* Add newly added localizable strings to canary test of translated strings.
* Delete tests that ensure theres code only on the abstract tasks
These were needed to ensure all the code was in the base tasks so we could have tasks implementations on Windows to remote those. Now that code is part of this repo (and that is why these tests are failing now) so we do not need them anymore.
* [dotnet] Don't build the Windows SDK pack if not configured to do so.

* [msbuild] Add a BundleIdentifier property to the XcodeCompilerToolTask.
This way we don't have to read the Info.plist to get the bundle identifier,
which will be a problem in the future, because the Info.plist might not have
the actual bundle identifier we end up using. Instead rely on the
_BundleIdentifier MSBuild property, which will contain the final bundle
identifier.
* [msbuild] Make sure we have a bundle identifier when calling ACTool.
* [msbuild] Make sure we have a bundle identifier when calling IBTool if one is needed.
At the same time make the BundleIdentifier not required, because IBTool may
run for library projects, which doesn't have a bundle identifier.
* [msbuild] _DetectSigningIdentity needs to know the bundle name.
* [msbuild] It shouldn't be necessary to detect the signing identity to compute the bundle name.
TL&DR: This PR
1. Removes the creation of the `.dSYM` based on `Debug Information` [1]
2. Adds dSYM support to XM msbuild (now shared with XI implementation)
3. Archive the `.dSYM` directories (plural) properly, e.g.
```
msbuild -p:Configuration=Release -p:ArchiveOnBuild=true
```
Why ? The long story...
Historically `.dSYM` for Xamarin.Mac have not been very useful, largely
because (most of) the code is JITed so not much is known before runtime.
So they were simply not generated during the builds...
However AOT options were added to Xamarin.Mac, making them potentially
more useful. Also symbols from `libmono` and other native libraries /
frameworks can prove useful when diagnosing application crashes.
Unsurprisingly developers looking to get symbols eventually found _a way_
[1] to get a `.dSYM` for their applications - but it was not quite
correct because:
* setting the debug information option meant that `mmp` would be supplied with `-debug`. This disables several optimizations that are, by default, enabled for release builds. IOW generating symbols should have no effect on the executing code (but it had);
* it was produced when compiling the native launcher, so the symbols coverage was incomplete. How much depends if mono was statically or dynamically linked. However this would not cover any AOTed code nor bundled libraries or user frameworks.
* the .dSYM was produced inside the `x.app/Contents/MacOS/`, side-by-side with the native executable, which makes it part of the **signed** `.app` and also part of the created (and signed) `.pkg`. This had a large impact on the application's, disk and download, size(s). Manually (re)moving the `.dSYM` means re-signing the app and re-creating (and signing) the `.pkg` is not a good solution.
[1] https://forums.xamarin.com/discussion/139705/how-to-symbolicate-a-xam-mac-crash-log
Additional fixes
* Use `Directory.Move` instead of running the `mv` command
While the result is identical there is a cost to spawn several `mv`
processes. Doing it in parallel (might have) helped but that setup
also comes at a cost.
`Directory.Move` the four `.dylib.dSYM` of an app takes 1 ms, while
the existing code took 17 ms to do the same.
* Fix building mmptest since the DeleteDebugSymbolCommand constant is not present (nor used) anymore
Mac Catalyst needs much of the Mac signing logic, so merge the iOS and Mac
versions of DetectSigningIdentity so that the Xamarin.iOS.Tasks assembly
contains what it needs for Mac Catalyst.
TD&LR: This PR simplifies how we refer to user frameworks and fixes both
warnings and non-optimal (app) output.
Much longer story:
Additional testing on macOS showed some build-time warnings and an
[extra (dupe) file](a20f8aba41 (diff-54fd7d9cd5deae57f30195be0a43133eace03c1132401741a317e0ae8d5e13fdR34)).
Logs shows that we referred to the xcframework several times, where once
should have been enough.
```
/native-reference:/Users/poupou/git/spouliot/xcframework/Universal.xcframework
/native-reference:/Users/poupou/git/spouliot/xcframework/Universal.xcframework/macos-arm64_x86_64/Universal.framework
/native-reference:/Users/poupou/git/spouliot/xcframework/Universal.xcframework/macos-arm64_x86_64/Universal.framework/Universal
```
The first `/native-reference` line produced a warning like:
```
MMP warning MM2006: Native library 'Universal.xcframework' was referenced but could not be found.
```
which makes sense as the tools (both `mmp` and `mtouch`) are not, by
design, aware of (unresolved) xcframeworks.
Removing `{NativeReference}` from `Xamarin.Mac.Common.targets` (and
`Xamarin.iOS.Common.targets`) as it has already been processed by
`_ExpandNativeReferences` solves this.
The other part of the issue (next two lines) is because `msbuild` does
not track changes to directories like it does for files - and the
workaround (in `_ExpandNativeReferences`) had to be copied in other
places (both XI and XM `_CompileToNative`) and that was not enough (and
would eventually need to be duplicated again and again).
This could lead to duplicate entries (i msbuild logs) like
```
NativeReferences
../../Universal.xcframework/macos-arm64_x86_64/Universal.framework
../../Universal.xcframework/macos-arm64_x86_64/Universal.framework/Univeral
```
which maps to our extra entries.
In order to simplify things we make the `_ExpandNativeReferences` resolve
the full path to the library name (not the `.framework` directory) which
simplifies both `_CompileToNative` and ensure a single way (at least for
`msbuild`) to provide this data to the tools (`mmp` and `mtouch`).
Using a file, instead of a directory, is also more consistent for the
existing `-framework` option, e.g. we provide the names like:
```
--framework=CoreLocation
--framework=ModelIO
```
So adding a full path that include the name is more appropriate, e.g.
``` --framework=/Users/poupou/git/master/xamarin-macios/tests/xharness/tmp-test-dir/xcframework-test760/bin/AnyCPU/Debug/bindings-xcframework-test.resources/XTest.xcframework/ios-i386_x86_64-simulator/XTest.framework/XTest
```
Finally for macOS applications it turns out we were embedding yet another
copy of the framework's library inside the `MonoBundle`, which is clearly
wrong, because of the last entry.
```
$ l bin/Release/xcf-mac.app/Contents/MonoBundle/Universal
-rwxr-xr-x 1 poupou staff 167152 2 Dec 16:16 bin/Release/xcf-mac.app/Contents/MonoBundle/Universal
```
The tool now checks if a provided library is inside a framework (or not)
which is a good validation to have anyway when it gets called directly,
i.e. not thru `msbuild`.
These two tasks did essentially the same thing, so we can just merge them. I
kept the "EmbedProvisionProfile" name, because that sounded like the most
applicable to all platforms.
User frameworks for macOS often uses symlinks (as Xcode creates them
this way).
This cause problem cause the symlink is on the binary and we expected
the `_CodeSignature` directory to by side-by-side with the binary. This
was missing and cause exceptions when codesigning such frameworks.
A second problem happened because `mmp` use `lipo -thin` to remove
non-required architectures. However when a framework has symlinks, like:
```
├── Frameworks
│ └── Universal.framework
│ ├── Resources -> Versions/Current/Resources
│ ├── Universal -> Versions/Current/Universal
│ └── Versions
│ ├── A
│ │ ├── Resources
│ │ │ └── Info.plist
│ │ ├── Universal
│ │ └── _CodeSignature
│ │ └── CodeResources
│ └── Current -> A
```
then this actually replaced the (very small) symlink with a thin version
of the framework. Which means the original one was still _fat_ and the
whole app was now larger than the original version.
Sample used: https://github.com/spouliot/xcframework/tree/main/xamarin/xcf-mac
* Add a stamp file to the Mac version of _CompileToNative. This is used to
force a rebuild of the container app when an app extension changes (and was
already implemented for iOS: 8b376efa4b)
* Rename the iOS stamp file to 'bundler.stamp' instead of 'mtouch.stamp' to
ease code sharing.
* Rename the 'MmpReferencePath' and 'MTouchReferencePath' properties to
'_BundlerReferencePath' to ease code sharing.
* Merge the _GetCompileToNativeInputs targets. The only difference between iOS
and Mac (after the above changes) is that the Mac version now includes
'@(ReferencePath)' in '_CompileToNativeInput'. This should be fine as far as
I know.
This is done early so we can resolve the inner framework, inside the
xcframework, and let the existing framework support do most of the
work.
The resolving code has unit tests. Custom projects for "NoEmbedding"
exists for all supported platforms and executed by xharness.
A sample `xcframework` with tests projects is also available
[here](https://github.com/spouliot/xcframework).
The xcframework test case is based on Rolf's earlier/partial implementation.
https://github.com/rolfbjarne/xamarin-macios/commit/xcframework
Things to note:
Do not rename a framework (like XTest) to use it in an xcframework
(like XCTest). That will fail at codesign but won't give anything
useful. You might think signing the framework (instead of the inner
binary) would solve it. It does, as it codesign, but then the app
crash at startup. At some point you realize some symbols are still
using XTest (not XCTest) and then you can delete several other weird
workarounds (like for `ld`) because all of it was cause by this
never identified rename.
dSYM support (and tests) to be done in a separate PR.
