We ship a default, pre-built, simlauncher for iOS simulator applications.
This speeds up compilation for the default (non linked) simulator builds
quite a lot (no call to `clang` is needed). However it force us to keep
track of frameworks manually - `mtouch` can track them but requires
calling clang/ld to finish things up (killing the optimization).
It's easy to forget some (new) frameworks since they can be loaded
dynamically (on demand) _most_ of the time. Sadly there are a few cases
where doing so cause (hard to diagnose) problems - so we can't depend
on them being loaded, correctly for us.
The new test case loads the `otool -L` output (make when we build
simlauncher[32|64]-sgen) and compares it with mtouch's GetFramework
logic *and* with our namespaces (which is pretty close, with a few
exceptions, to the framework names). This will make it harder to
forget [weak] frameworks when adding new bindings :)
Fixes https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/issues/6951
* [msbuild] Add reference to `System.Drawing.Common.dll` to XI projects.
Fixes https://github.com/mono/mono/issues/13483 :
```
@akoeplinger: Since we moved types from Mono.Android.dll and
Xamarin.iOS/WatchOS/TVOS.dll to System.Drawing.Common.dll user projects
would fail to compile. We need to add some msbuild logic to add a
reference to the assembly automatically.
```
* [msbuild] Implement the same fix for XM projects as well.
* [msbuild] Update Xamarin.iOS.Tasks.TargetTests.GetReferencedAssemblies_* tests.
We're including a new assembly, which means the
Xamarin.iOS.Tasks.TargetTests.GetReferencedAssemblies_* must be updated
accordingly.
Also modify these tests so that test assert that fails lists the actual
assembly that's missing, i.e. instead of this:
1) Test Failure : Xamarin.iOS.Tasks.TargetTests.GetReferencedAssemblies_Executable
#1
Expected: 6
But was: 7
we now print:
1) Test Failure : Xamarin.iOS.Tasks.TargetTests.GetReferencedAssemblies_Executable
References
Expected: equivalent to < "mscorlib.dll", "MyLibrary.dll", "System.Core.dll", "System.dll", "System.Xml.dll", "Xamarin.iOS.dll" >
But was: < "mscorlib.dll", "MyLibrary.dll", "System.Core.dll", "System.dll", "System.Drawing.Common.dll", "System.Xml.dll", "Xamarin.iOS.dll" >
* [tests] Adjust Xamarin.MMP.Tests.AssemblyReferencesTests.ShouldNotAllowReference_ToSystemDrawing.
The test was verifying that referencing System.Drawing.dll and trying to use
System.Drawing.RectangleF would fail to compile (because System.Drawing.dll
shouldn't be resolved in this case).
The addition of System.Drawing.Common.dll breaks this assumption, because now
we ship System.Drawing.RectangleF, so the code that was supposed to fail to
compile works just fine instead.
So modify the test to verify that there's no System.Drawing.dll in the final
bundle.
* Remove workarounds for mono/mono#13483.
* [msbuild] Create a way out if automatically referencing System.Drawing.Common.dll causes problems.
* [msbuild] Adjust variable name and boolean logic according to review.
* [tests] Add introspection tests to ensure there are native linking instructions for all frameworks. Fixes#3976
or a good, documented (in test code) reason for not needing it.
https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/issues/3976
* Fix failures
- static registrar failed on 32bits because one type in PhotoUI missed
its `onlyOn64: true`
- link with the top, not the sub-frameworks
* [tvos] Fix mistakes in tvOS where some extranous types triggered unrequired/unavailable (or missing) frameworks
* [watchos] Fix watchOS frameworks mapping
We normally frown on large scale _cosmetic_ changes, mostly because it breaks git's history (very useful) and makes merging branches harder and more error prone (very annoying).
However we require, right now, such changes to remove our old, mcs-based, pre-processor (pmcs) so it's a _good_ time to address the old, unneeded availability attributes - since most of them are re-written for our next milestone.
This won't change the final application size in most cases, as the linker removes them, but it will make the (unlinked) platform assemblies smaller. This means they will load faster (e.g. by mtouch, mmp, IDE, workbooks...) and will reduce the time/memory needed to reflect them.

@dalexsoto the fix is to not strip the executable please PR that
(it should probably go into master as well). This probably started
happening when Jeff implemented support for stripping debug builds
(previously the setting was ignored)
Those tests needs to be run with the linker disabled since they use
reflection for most of their work.
The original dontlink (for linker tests) was becoming too large in
some configuration (e.g. tvOS release with bitcode) but this was
due to other BCL assemblies (not the introspection tests)
