* This fixes a bug in the Xamarin.Mac version, where the _ForgeMetal's Outputs
value didn't match the actual output path (this was fixed in the iOS version).
* Also update the definition of the _ForgedMetal itemgroup to use a nested ItemGroup
instead of the CreateItem task.
Refactor how we figure out which native libraries to sign for Xamarin.Mac to align it with how it's done for Xamarin.iOS.
* The MmpTask searched (and returned) and *.dylib files in the
Contents/MonoBundle directory; replace this with MSBuild item group
globbing. This also makes an error code unused, so remove that as well.
* The _TemperMetal task returned the compiled *.metallib file; replace this
with MSBuild item group globbing.
The Xamarin.Mac version of _CreatePkgInfo had a 'Ditto' call that seemed like
a copy-paste error (the target below has the exac same call to 'Ditto'), and
there's no reason to call 'Ditto' when creating the PkgInfo file, so I just
removed it.
The 'Ditto' call was added here: ca028ea150 (diff-ccded350e40e767d69171655acb86b01R586-R606)
The Xamarin.iOS version is more updated, so that's the version now for both
Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Mac:
* The iOS version contains Inputs/Outputs (important for incremental builds).
* It doesn't use FileWrites (see e97d69b25c why
this was removed for iOS)
Additionally define the _SceneKitCache variable for macOS as well, previously
it was only defined for iOS (I'm adding more variables than just
_SceneKitCache to macOS, most of the others will be used in in macOS in
upcoming pull requests, and this way turned out to be simplest).
And also add a new Xamarin.Mac test that exercises the CompileSceneKitAssets targets.
The Xamarin.iOS version seemed more updated, so that's the version now for
both Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Mac.
A few differences in the Xamarin.iOS versions are:
* The _CoreCompileInterfaceDefinitions target contains Inputs/Outputs
(important for incremental builds).
* EnableOnDemandResources is set to $(EnableOnDemandResources), not hardcoded
to 'false' (there is no real difference right now, because
$(EnableOnDemandResources) defaults to 'false' in Xamarin.Mac).
* It doesn't use FileWrites (see e97d69b25c why
this was removed for iOS)
There were 2 differences that had to be reconciled:
* The Xamarin.Mac version took 'IntermediateOutputPath' as the intermediate
output path, while the Xamarin.iOS version used
'DeviceSpecificIntermediateOutputPath'.
'DeviceSpecificIntermediateOutputPath' is defined to be
'IntermediateOutputPath' for Xamarin.Mac, so make the shared version use
'DeviceSpecificIntermediateOutputPath', since that works in both cases.
* The Xamarin.Mac version was writing the output of PackLibraryResources to
the FileWrites item group. This was removed on purpose from the Xamarin.iOS
version in e97d69b25c, so it seemed best to
leave it out in the shared version as well.
Also re-use the _EmbeddedResourcePrefix variable to determine the resource prefix.
Also make sure that _CompileToNative never runs in .NET mode (some of the
signing targets has _CompileToNative as a dependency, but _CompileToNative
must never be run when in .NET mode).
This becomes a bit complicated because we have to wait to determine the default value
for the linker until we know if we're building for the simulator or not (which happens
in the _DetectSdkLocations target).
Use two separate output variables (EntitlementsInExecutable/EntitlementsInSignature)
instead of using the same output variable for two different purposes. This makes
the code more self-explanatory.
Also move the simulator check to the C# code, that way it's easier to re-use elsewhere.
* [msbuild] Share the _CompileEntitlements task.
* [msbuild] Create the same class hierarchy for Xamarin.Mac and Xamarin.iOS for the CompileEntitlements task.
CompileEntitlementsTaskBase
└─── iOS/CompileEntitlementsTaskCore
│ └─── iOS/CompileEntitlements
└─── Mac/CompileEntitlementsTaskCore
└─── Mac/CompileEntitlements
This also means we can remove a known failure in the list of MSBuild tasks that don't
conform to our 'no code in final task implementation' requirements.
In addition to the obvious benefit of reducing code duplication, this also
means that implicit inclusion of netstandard.dll works for binding projects as
well.
The existing implementations were slightly different between Xamarin.iOS and
Xamarin.Mac, so I tried to figure out the best merging strategy based on git
history and looking at the original implementation of this code in MSBuild. I
tried to keep close to the original implementation whenever I couldn't find a
good reason to do otherwise.
- This commit adds a hook, "AdditionalAppExtensions", to the msbuild to allow
extensions written in other languages, such as Swift, to be embedded and signed in an
Xamarin App bundle easily.
- Example:
<AdditionalAppExtensions Include="$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)/../../native">
<Name>NativeTodayExtension</Name>
<BuildOutput Condition="'$(Platform)' == 'iPhone'">build/Debug-iphoneos</BuildOutput>
<BuildOutput Condition="'$(Platform)' == 'iPhoneSimulator'">build/Debug-iphonesimulator</BuildOutput>
</AdditionalAppExtensions>
* Change the parsing code slightly, to make it easier to parse other arguments
(coming soon).
* Add the parsing task to Xamarin.Mac projects, and use it there as well. The
parsed result isn't used yet, but it will be soon.
* Unify a few related MSBuild properties (MtouchNoSymbolStrip and
MtouchNoDSymUtil).
Some of these have been duplicated across various targets files, and when
adding a new task it's annoying to forget to add it somewhere.
So just have them all in the same place, so that they're loaded in every file.
There are still duplicates between the iOS and Mac tasks, but those will be
unified in a later PR.
Also switch to invoking bgen instead of the btouch-native/btv/bwatch wrapper
scripts, since the wrapper scripts just call bgen with an additional
--target-framework argument, which our BTouch task already does anyway, which
means it's not necessary to call the wrapper scripts anymore.
This also required:
* Moving the code to detect which Xamarin.Mac profile we're building for into
Xamarin.Shared.props, since the binding variable logic need to know which
Xamarin.Mac profile we're building for.
* Setting IsBindingProject property earlier in the build process, to make sure
it's set before importing Xamarin.Shared.props.
* For Xamarin.Mac, this means using the _ComputeBundleResourceOutputPaths and
_CopyResourcesToBundle targets from Xamarin.iOS instead of the
_CopyContentToBundle target (which is now unused and thus removed).
* Adapt the Xamarin.iOS logic (now shared) to handle the fact that the
resources shouldn't always go into the root appbundle directory (since they
go into Contents/Resources/ for macOS apps), by using the
'_AppResourcesPath' variable to specify just this.
Once upon a time the Xamarin.iOS logic was identical to the Xamarin.Mac logic,
but then we implemented support for asset packs
(a98693f07e)
and the code diverged. This means that unifying the logic again is a step
towards making asset packs work for Xamarin.Mac apps.
* [msbuild] Share the MSBuild logic for CollectBundleResources and a few related properties.
* [msbuild] Fix/unify more resource collection code.
* Remove the _CollectBundleResources target for Xamarin.iOS binding projects,
we now have a single one for all project types.
* Add an IsBindingProject property to distinguish binding projects from other
projects.
* Use the IsBindingProject to only depend on the other _Compile<ResourceType>
targets when we're not building a binding project (which seems to be the
reason why the _CollectBundleResources target was duplicated between normal
projects and binding projects for both Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Mac: the
binding project version didn't have any dependencies).
Also rework the class hierarchy a little bit, so that Xamarin.iOS and
Xamarin.Mac are identical:
CompileAppManifestTaskBase
└─── iOS/CompileAppManifestTaskCore
│ └─── iOS/CompileAppManifest
└─── Mac/CompileAppManifestTaskCore
│ └─── Mac/CompileAppManifest
This makes it possible for several other tasks to take the MinimumOSVersion as
direct input, instead of the app manifest's path. Previously the app manifest
(Info.plist) was loaded and parsed in each task, slightly differently in each
place, and in addition there are differences between macOS and other
platforms, which made it even worse. This code refactoring also made it
possible to remove an error code which wasn't necessary anymore.
This task also computes the default MinimumOSVersion if none is specified in
the app manifest.
There is one breaking change: a library project could previously specify an
inexistent Info.plist, and it would build fine. This will now result in a
"Error loading 'Info.plist': File not found" error. This is trivial to fix:
just remove the Info.plist from the project file (or an alternative solution
could be to condition the inclusion of the Info.plist in the project file on
the existence of the Info.plist).
New commits in xamarin/Xamarin.MacDev:
* xamarin/Xamarin.MacDev@a1bc6f3 [Xamarin.MacDev] Split IAppleSdkVersion.TryParse in two methods. (#73)
Diff: 45c5a680e2..a1bc6f39b3
* [msbuild] Share the DeviceSpecificIntermediateOutputPath property.
We don't technically need this value for Xamarin.Mac, but many of the targets
that can be shared need to use this for Xamarin.iOS, so set this value for
Xamarin.Mac as well. It will always be the default IntermediateOutputPath for
Xamarin.Mac, while for Xamarin.iOS it might be changed in
_ComputeTargetArchitectures.
* [msbuild] Remove usage in Xamarin.Mac of a variable that was always empty in the past.
* [msbuild] Unify MtouchDebug and MmpDebug into _Debug.
* [msbuild] Use _BundlerDebug instead of _Debug.
_Debug is too generic, and more likely to clash with someone else.
* [msbuild] Unify MtouchArch and XamMacArch into TargetArchitectures.
* [msbuild] Use $(ComputedPlatform) instead of $(_Platform).
They're identical, and this avoids using $(_Platform) before it's defined.
Also rework the class hierarchy a little bit, so that Xamarin.iOS and
Xamarin.Mac are identical:
DetectSigningIdentityTaskBase
└─── iOS/DetectSigningIdentityTaskCore
│ └─── iOS/DetectSigningIdentity
└─── Mac/DetectSigningIdentityTaskCore
│ └─── Mac/DetectSigningIdentity
There's one difference for Xamarin.Mac library projects: they'll now have the
ability to use an Info.plist to specify a minimum OS version that will be used
when compiling storyboards and other compilable files.
This is the way it's worked for Xamarin.iOS projects for a long time.
