...even if it is a simulator build.
Turns out that starting with Xcode9, sim builds need to be codesigned
for App Groups entitlements to work properly. Interestingly, the
DetectSigningIdentity logic had a comment about needing to codesign
simulator builds for some entitlements to work already starting with
Xcode 8 but apparently the iOS targets did not respect this.

Building a XI or XM (Modern) project that references a netstandard 2.0
project with msbuild fails because of a missing reference to
`netstandard.dll`.
AppDelegate.cs(21,52): error CS0012: The type 'Object' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'netstandard, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc7b13ffcd2ddd51'.
The reason is that XI and XM (Modern) projects have
`$(TargetFrameworkIdentifier) != .NETFramework`, so targets from
`Microsoft.NET.Build.Extensions` which provide ns2.0 support don't get
imported. `ImplicitlyExpandNETStandardFacades` in particular, which
would have added a reference to `netstandard.dll`.
`netstandard.dll` gets included as part of the facades expanded by
`ImplicitlyExpandDesignTimeFacades`, but this gets skipped if the
project does not have a `System.Runtime` dependent reference.
Instead, we want to expand the facades if any reference depends on
`System.Runtime` OR `netstandard`. And for that we scan all the
references for a `netstandard` dependency using the
`GetDependsOnNETStandard` task.
Partially fixes bxc #58504 .
The MtouchVerbosity value is set when building from VSfM, and in that case the
logic works fine.
However, when building from the command line, or from VS, the default value
for MtouchVerbosity would be '0', which would mean 'Quiet', which is not what
we want the default verbosity to be.
So set the default MtouchVerbosity value to '2' (Normal verbosity), and at the
same time adjust the values passed to mtouch so that 'Normal' actually means
the default (neither quiet nor verbose).
These targets were failing to build on design-time builds for mostly 2 reasons:
- When loading the project VS is not connected to the Mac, which is required for binding projects.
- Since a reduce amount of targets are ran, the ReferencePath list is empty and makes _GeneratedSourcesFileList fail
Anyway, we shouldn't run targets that we don't need on a design-time build to avoid impacting on its performance
Why these targets were being executed on design-time builds? It's a side effect of adding them to CompileDependsOn.

Partial fix for Bug #51759 - Getting build error for iOS sample 'Simpleapp-with-framework'
https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=51759
This is part of PR 2430: avoid duplicating degine constants if they exist. This commit splits the condition and definition of the properties in two, because xbuild doesn't support the regex part in a condition. msbuild does, but we need to support both.
The previous change had the fault of considering __UNIFIED__ANYTHING__ the same as __UNIFIED__ and if a user set that property, then he would lose the other (pointed out by jstedfast in the PR).
This commit fixes that.
In VS the property page for Build will show whatever is in DefineConstants, and then save it. Without this, that means that any time the Build page is saved, it duplicates the constants.
This fixes bug#32765: Bug 32765 - Conditional compilation symbols are duplicated everytime I reload the project or restart visual studio (https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=32765)
* [msbuild] Added EnableOnDemandResources option
Disabling this option causes the ACTool task to pass
--enable-on-demand-resources NO (instead of YES) to actool.
It will also cause the ResourceTags property on BundleResource
and InterfaceBuilder items to be ignored.
* Fixed unit tests
The runtime team is going to change the default for the float 32 option.
Therefore, to avoid breaking users who are currently **not** using this option,
we need to force the use of `-float32`.
* Add new test to cover UseFloat32 = false
It does not make sense to support incremental builds for the simulator (since
no AOT compilation is done), it just makes the test matrix more complicated.
So simplify things by removing support for incremental builds.
We also ignore any (other) --assembly-build-target arguments, because building
to frameworks doesn't make sense either in the simulator.

For windows, ideSdkPath was defined twice.
Also the base tasks are being built only on the Mac, VSW get those from the bundle.zip, so the Windows check should be done at runtime.
First: only run `EnsureSdkPath` if `EnsureAppleSdkRoot` passed.
Both are based on similar install checks, `SdkIsInstalled` (used for `SdkIsInstalled`) is empty
if `IsInstalled` (used by `EnsureAppleSdkRoot`) is false.
This avoid having 2 error messages when only 1 at a time is needed.
Second: improved `EnsureAppleSdkRoot` error message mentioning the wrong Xcode developer path (which triggered the error)
as well as the exact way to fix it.
watchOS 3.2 introduced SiriKit extension that must be bundled
inside the Watch App Extension (yep a extension inside another extension).
So the _ResolveAppExtensionReferences and _CopyAppExtensionsToBundle should
now be run on extension projects too.
* [msbuild] Implemented GetFiles and GetFullPath tasks to fix the vs build
Hopefully fixes https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=53410

Some of the Clean steps need the _ComputeTargetArchitectures

Fixes bug #52758 (https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=52758)
For appex the MainAssembly path should be absolute, since mtouch will generate a build-arguments.txt file that then will be used to build the extension in the same mtouch process than the container app. Due to this, if the path stored is relative mtouch won't be able to find the assembly.
Fixes bug #52982: [iOS]Metal samples fail to build with Xcode8.3
(https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=52982)
Basically with Xcode8 Apple stopped using an intermediary step to generate the
default.metallib. This was what our `_ForgeMetal` target was doing, generate a `default.metal-ar`
file which was used as input for `_TemperMetal` and then generate the default.metallib.
Instead with Xcode8 you can just give Shaders.air directly to the metallib tool.
The fix in this commit is made in such a way that it still supports Xcode7.
if !Xcode8 then don't change anything.
if Xcode8+ then have `_ForgedMetal` output equal `@(_SmeltedMetal)` (basically skip the _ForgeMetal target).
Some of the Clean steps need the _ComputeTargetArchitectures
target to run before they can properly do their thing because
they depend on DeviceSpecific paths.
Also added logic to rm -rf extension *.dSYM and framework *.dSYM

Added a new CodesignNativeLibraries task that scans for
and then codesigns each *.dylib and *.metallib in the
app bundle (minus those in the PlugIns and Watch dirs).
This cuts down another group of conditional compilation sections, paving the
way for an IKVM-based generator.
This makes it required to pass --target-framework for to generator executables
(previously only required for Xamarin.Mac/Unified to distinguish between the
different Xamarin.Mac/Unified variants), but it should be invisible to users
since we'll automatically pass the correct --target-framework argument from
the corresponding scripts (btouch/btv/bwatch/bmac) and the MSBuild targets.
This will only break somebody who is executing the managed executables
directly, but nobody should do that in the first place (it's not a supported
scenario).

Mono's fork of msbuild uses a `$(_DebugFileExt)` property to specify
the debug file extension (.pdb/.mdb) to use. It defaults to .pdb. So,
with XI/XM, .mdb files don't get copied to the output folder.
We also add a `$(FscDebugFileExt)` property, which allows our default of
`.mdb` to be overridden.
But the `$(_DebugFileExt)` support is not in upstream msbuild yet. So,
we can't ask the F# upstream to add it. Hence, this is being added to
our FSharp target files. Once, all this is upstream, we can remove the
overrides from our files.

If the user makes changes to an App Extension or Watch app,
then those bundles would change within the main app bundle
but the main app bundle would not get re-codesigned because
it was not properly considering those files as inputs in the
_CodesignAppBundle target.
Fixes https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=52165
Originally, the IpaPackagePath would default to something
like:
bin/Debug/iPhone/MyProjectName $(DateTime)/MyProjectName.ipa
It was recently changed to not have the timestamp, but I
seem to have forgotten to do away with the subdirectory
completely. In other words, w/o this fix, we'd get:
bin/Debug/iPhone/MyProjectName/MyProjectName.ipa
When what we *really* want is:
bin/Debug/iPhone/MyProjectName.ipa
Several dependency targets were not being properly run because the Condition
expressions on e.g. the _CodesignAppExtensions target depended on variables
that were empty until the dependencies set them. But dependencies are only
executed if the parent target's Conditions were met.
Also changed the _CodesignVerify target to use the _ResolvedAppExtensions
variable instead of the _AppExtensionCodesignProperties variable. This means
that the _CodesignVerify target no longer depends on the
_ReadCodesignAppExtensionProperties target being executed and thus makes it
less likely that bugs like that will slip by in the future.

The above log excerpt shows two issues:
1. mscorlib.dll is needlessly inspected as it's **not** considered a
"framework" assembly.
The current check was checking *how* it was resolved and not *where*
it was resolved to. The later is the most important as it's possible
for other assemblies to have direct paths references and we do not
want to process them.
This is fixed by comparing each assembly path with the (now) provided
`TargetFrameworkDirectory`
2. mscorlib.dll is inspected twice
That's because it's present two times in the task's input. That issue
is upstream (not sure why) of the current task but it makes #1 twice
as costly. The fix for #1 indirectly fix that too.
Future
------
It's worth investigating to move that logic into `mtouch`. The later must
already load all assemblies and is in charge of removing other embedded
data (e.g. native code from bindings) from the assemblies (so they are not
shipped both inside and outside the .dll in the final .app). This makes
this task seems extraneous work.
Considering that my current test case, `RMSDKWrapper.dll`, is 1.3GB in
size it's easy to see that the extra load (which has nothing to be
extracted wrt resources*) is quite visible in build time.

* it has for bindings but that's already handled by mtouch
* [msbuild] Don't use a timestamped directory for the IPA
After discussion with Mikayla Hutchinson and Madhuri Gummalla,
this naming convention is annoying to customers so just put
the *.ipa in the bin directory. This also has the added
benefit that the *.ipa will be cleaned up with /t:Clean
* [msbuild] Fixed wildcard expansion for deleting the *.ipa file
* [msbuild] Add the zipped *.ipa file to the FileWrites item group
* [msbuild] s/TaskProperty/TaskParameter/
* [msbuild] Fixed the Inputs for the _CodesignAppBundle target
The Inputs need to include the Info.plist, embedded.mobileprovision,
and the native libs/frameworks since those files also get included
in the _CodeSignature/CodeResources.
Fixes https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=50791
* [msbuild] Added unit test to make sure _CodesignAppBundle logic works
Once @rolfkvinge finishes implementing support in mtouch
for code-sharing between main app and app extensions, the
mtouch command will need to run *after* the app extensions
have been copied into the app bundle.
This is a fixup to the PR in issue #1350.
We really only want to delay codesigning of the App Extension
*bundle*, but want to codesign any native libs and frameworks
as usual.
* [msbuild] Delay running dsymutil and strip on App Extensions
We want to run dsymutil and strip on App Extensions
from the main app bundle targets so that mtouch can
generate a shared Mono.framework in the main app bundle.
* [msbuild] Updated Archive to copy appex dsyms from the correct location
* [msbuild] Delay codesigning of App Extensions
Instead of codesigning App Extensions as part of the
App Extension build, we now codesign them as part of
the Codesign target of the main app project.
* [msbuild] Use an ItemGroup to define _AppExtensionCodesignProperties
By using an ItemGroup, we save all of the metadata
even if the values are null/empty. Using CreateItem,
any metadata property with a null or empty value
was not being saved in the .items file.
* [msbuild] Take advantage of %(_AppExtensionCodesignProperties.Identity)
...instead of having to use
%(_AppExtensionCodesignProperties.Filename)%(_AppExtensionCodesignProperties.Extension)
* [msbuild] Don't rewrite embedded.mobileprovision or archived-expanded-entitlements.xcent
This patch prevents those 2 files from being rewritten in
cases where the contents would not change from what was
already there previously.
This is a partial fix for https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=49097
* [msbuild] Re-enabled the RebuildExecutable_NoModifications unit test
With the fixes to EmbedProvisioningProfile and CompileEntitlements,
this unit test now passes.
Fixes the Mac EmbedProvisionProfile task to not load every
single provisioning profile from disk in order to find the
requested provisioning profile.
Drops the need for wrappers around the use of MobileProvisionIndex
since it turns out that MobileProvisionIndex.GetMobileProvision()
already does the File.Exists() on name + ".mobileprovision" to
avoid needing to scan the index of provisioning profiles.
Fixed the EmbedMobileProvision task to use the same strategy for looking up provisioning profiles as the DetectSigningIdentity task.
This can be considered a follow-up patch to https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=25499 and commit 146e7b3962 in that it is needed if/when the .csproj file references the provisioning profile based on the Name instead of the UUID, but also stands on its own as a performance optimization (MobileProvisionIndex lookups are significantly faster than loading each and every provisioning profile and then using LINQ to match against the UUID).
* AppleTLS is the default since C7 and support up to TLS 1.2.
* MonoTLS is limited to SSLv3 and TLSv1: both are being deprecated.
* Note: C9 release notes already mention MonoTLS is deprecated and that it will be removed in the future.
* [msbuild] Added a PropertyListEditor task which works like PlistBuddy
This is a convenience Task for customers and isn't currently used
by the core MSBuild targets.
* [msbuild] The PropertyListEditor task does not need a SessionId property
* [msbuild] Added support for non-container root plist elements
* [msbuild] Catch & log exceptions loading plist document
If the watchOS dll app is not copied to the output directory, the watchOS app project will be outdated for VS and it'll be built all the time. That will also cause the iOS app project to be built.
That logic wrongly assumed that mtouch will always output a new
native executable file and that the dSYMs will need to be regenerated,
but that is not the case.
Move the rm -rf logic into the _GenerateDebugSymbols target instead,
so that we only delete the dSYMs if we've already committed to
regenerating them.
Fixes https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=41231
For a walk-through of the problem, see
https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=47803#c9
The idea here is to prevent future builds from calling dsymutil
if the native executable hasn't changed since the previous build.
The reason we need to touch the dSYM Info.plist after stripping
is because the SymbolStrip task *may* modify the native executable
thereby giving it a newer mtime timestamp than the dSYM Info.plist
which would cause later builds to re-run the dsymutil task on an
already-stripped native executable.
It should be noted, however, that the _CodesignAppBundle target
already updates the mtime timestamp of the dSYM Info.plist for
precisely the same reason and since it is run *after* the
_GenerateDebugSymbols target, the 'touch' should generally not
be needed in the _GenerateDebugSymbols target.
- `LoggingExtensions` has a new `MTError` extension method that helps generate

```
The path
`obj/Debug/metal/../../../../../../../Users/ankit/dev/mac-ios-samples/MetalKitEssentials/MetalKitEssentials.Mac/Resources/Shaders.dia`
should be just `Resources/Shaders.dia`. This is from the `@(Metal)` item
passed to the `Metal` task as:
<Metal SourceFile="%(Metal.Identity)" ..
- This item is defined in the user's project file.
- And the task invocation is in
`/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/External/xbuild/Xamarin/Mac/Xamarin.Mac.Common.targets`.
- The `Metal` task (indirectly[2]) uses the `DefiningProjectFullPath`
metadata from that `SoureFile`, and expects to get the path to the
file that defined that `@(Metal)` item. But since we are using
`%(Metal.Identity)`, to use task batching, msbuild converts the
`%(Metal.Identity)` to a string and then "boxes" that as an ITaskItem,
and thus newly created item passed to `SourceFile` will have
`DefiningProjectFullPath` set to the `Xamarin.Mac.Common.targets`!
- And trying to create a relative path using that gives us
`obj/Debug/metal/../../../../../../../Users/ankit/dev/mac-ios-samples/MetalKitEssentials/MetalKitEssentials.Mac/Resources/Shaders.dia`
- The fix is to use `'%(Metal.Identity)` in the `Condition` to cause
task batching, but use `SourceFile="@(Metal)"` so that we get the
original item!
- Fixed for iOS targets too
---
1. The actual code is in `BundleResources.GetVirtualProjectPath`.
Other tasks using this were looked at and they are all using
`ITaskItem[]` and so passing `@(Items)` and thus get the original
items.
2. And the build works in xbuild, because it has `DefiningProjectFullPath`
for the "boxed" item set to `""`. And `GetVirtualProjectPath` works
around that.
Some samples from the `ios-samples` repo failed with an error in running
`ditto`:
```

```
The directory
`/Users/ankit/dev/ios-samples/ios9/FilterDemoApp/FilterDemoAppExtension/bin/iPhoneSimulator/Debug/FilterDemoAppExtension.appex`
did exist *after* the full build was over, but just before `ditto` ran,
it didn't[1].
But it should have been created as part of the `FilterDemoAppExtension`
build, before `ditto` was called as the `FilterDemoAppExtension` project
is referenced by `FilterDemoApp`. And this builds fine with xbuild.
Debugging+hair-pulling revealed:
a. `FilterDemoApp.csproj` has a `ProjectReference` pointing to
`FilterDemoAppExtension.csproj`
b. xbuild figures out the build order based on the .sln and the project
references and builds the individual projects in that order.
c. But msbuild doesn't do that anymore. It seems to build in "some"
order (probably the order in which the projects appear in the sln), and
depends on each project's `ResolveProjectReferences` target building
such referenced projects! So, msbuild starts with building
`FilterDemoApp` project and should have built the extension project, as
it is referenced, but that does not happen.
d. It does not happen because XI, in `_SeparateAppExtensionReferences`,
moves any `Extension` projects from `@(ProjectReferences)` to other
items to handle them itself in `Xamarin.iOS.Common.targets`. So, the
`ResolveProjectReferences` does not see the extension project at all.
e. But XI targets handle this in `_ResolveAppExtensionReferences`, just
like `ResolveProjectReferences` from x/msbuild targets. BUT.. they depend
on the xbuild's behavior, where if you are building a `.sln` file, then
any dependent projects have already been built, and thus it just skips
them!!
- Since, msbuild no longer does this.. the extension project is
not built and instead proceeds to creating the apple bundle.
So, the fix is effectively to remove the `$(BuildingSolutionFile) == true`
check from that target.
- The same change is required for Watch extensions target too.
- And the corresponding changes for XamMac
- This fixes ~7 demos in ios-samples.
---
1. The directory and the corresponding files existed *after* the full
build but not before the `ditto` execution because after `ditto`
caused the `FilterDemoApp` project to fail, msbuild continued to build
the remaining `FilterDemoAppExtension` project! too late :)

[analysis] Update to put files in /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/External/xbuild/Xamarin/iOS.
XI/Classic is being removed now, which means files should go into
/Library/Frameworks/Xamarin.iOS.framework/Versions/Current/lib/msbuild/iOS/ instead of into
/Library/Frameworks/Xamarin.iOS.framework/Versions/Current/lib/mono/2.1.
The problem was that this property was evaluating to True
for the main app bundle because it assumed that if the
project contained a Watch app, that it was the WatchExtension.
This logic only holds true for WatchOS1, but not WatchOS2.
Fixes https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=44841
* [msbuild] Set $(CscDebugFileExt) also, whenever overriding $(CscToolExe)
- This property was introduced in mono's msbuild, but will be upstream
also
- This *must* be set before Microsoft.CSharp.targets file is imported.
- Even though the msbuild targets will automatically select `.mdb` if
the `$(CscToolExe)` is `mcs` or `mcs.exe`, it would be a good
practice to set both the properties together.
- This came up in cases where we use `smcs`, because in that case the
msbuild targets end up using `.pdb`.
* [msbuild] Set `$(CscDebugFileExt)` == `.mdb`
Xamarin.ObjcBinding.CSharp.targets: Set the debug file extension also,
since we are overriding the compiler via `$(CscToolExe)`. Also, move
the property definition around to ensure that they are set *before*
importing `Microsoft.CSharp.targets`.
* Fix default http message handler for watchOS.
Fix default http message handler for watchOS to be NSUrlSessionHandler (the
previous attempt at eb7c2fd was quite incomplete), and make sure
HttpClientHandler is never used (show errors if someone tries).
* [tests] Remove explicit http client handler from project files.
Just use the default instead, since the set of valid http client handlers varies between platforms.
* Enables CoreCompile target for WatchOS App projects
The iOS Designer depends on Roslyn Workspace APIs to inspect and get notified of project changes, which needs CoreCompile target to work.
Fixes Bug #41766 (https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=41766)
* [msbuild] Adds empty cs file to avoid errors and warnings when building watchOS apps
Xbuild fails to build projects with no @(Compile). This change workaround it for watchOS apps.
When building the `inspector` project with msbuild, the build fails
because of a missing `System.Runtime` reference,
-> which can be traced to the `ResolveAssemblyReferences` task not resolving dependencies.
-> which can be traced to `$(_FindDependencies)` property being set to false
-> which is false, because `$(BuildingProject)` is false, which should
have been set by the `BuildOnlySettings` target, run as a dependency of
`CoreBuild`.
We override `$(BuildDependsOn)` as:
<BuildDependsOn>
...
_UnpackLibraryResources;
$(BuildDependsOn);
...
</BuildDependsOn>
.. so, `_UnpackLibraryResources` runs before `BuildOnlySettings`. And
`_UnpackLibraryResources` depends on `ResolveReferences`, so the
`ResolveAssemblyReferences` task runs with the incorrect properties. And
later, during the build when `ResolveAssemblyReferences` is invoked
again, it gets skipped and the incorrect outputs get used.
`$(BuildingProject)` should be true for a project build. So,
`Xamarin.Mac.Common.targets` are fixed for that. And other similar
target files are also fixed.
Note: `Xamarin.iOS.Common.targets` already does this correctly.
Note: `$(BuildingProject)` is not used in xbuild, so this bug is seen
only when building with msbuild.
We now want the build error to always show up.
monotouch.dll will be shipped with XI 10 to allow migration (dependent on the dll being available).
Therefore the check wasn't valid anymore because it was only applying the error if monotouch.dll wasn't there.
This was done to avoid breaking our internal tests but we should actually be fine, if not we'll update the tests.
Due to the deprecation of classic we needed to provide a better and single error message
rather than the countless msbuild errors you'd have because you'd be missing monotouch.dll
* Migrate MySingleView & MyLibrary to Unified
* [msbuild] Move detection of network configuration to a separate task.
* [msbuild] Set NSAllowArbitraryLoads when debugging watchOS apps.
The only way to have reliable http connections from the watchOS 2 device
to the mac is to set NSAllowArbitraryLoads.

[msbuild] When doing device-specific builds, ignore incompatible device OS's
If the user has tvOS, watchOS, and iOS projects in their solution
and goes to build for one of them for a specific device, it passes
along the device specific info to MSBuild. The build would then
fail for the tvOS and/or watchOS projects because of incompatible
architecture requirements.
This fixes that problem by short-cutting the ParseDeviceSpecificBuildInfo
task to output the default values (the values used when not building
for a specific device).

* [msbuild] Replaced uses of $(_IpaOutputDir) with $(IpaPackageDir)
Fixes the unit tests
* [msbuild] Define IpaPackageDir/Name based on IpaPackagePath if defined
* [msbuild] Rename and unify to IsMacEnabled
We previously had an MtouchTargetsEnabled and a separate
IsMacTargetsEnabled for iOS and XM, when both actually
meant the same thing: is a Mac enabled for building this
project?
Note that instead of "targets", we make it more generic,
since the condition can be used in a task, a property
group or whatever really, not just to enable/disable
certain targets.
Also, we call it Enabled, rather than Connected or
Available, since it's more natural to think that all such
tasks/targets are enabled when you're building locally
on the Mac. Connected wouldn't have been appropriate, and
Available would be confusing.
For backwards compatibility I've kepd the old MtouchTargetsEnabled
pointing to IsMacEnabled. We'll change our Windows targets
accordingly to also unify this property and how/where it's
set.
* [msbuild] Use full condition comparison for robustness
This is the proper way to use a boolean in a condition, and
prevents errors whenever the property is an empty string or
anything other than a boolean value.
* [msbuild] Remove unnecessary duplicate implementation of Move
Our implementation of the Move task was a partial copy of what
the MSBuild Move task does: https://github.com/Microsoft/msbuild/blob/master/src/XMakeTasks/Move.cs
Remove the unnecessary code, make it inherit the base implementation
like we do for the other MSBuild-overriden tasks, and place it in a
corresponding MsBuildTasks folder to denote this (again, like we do
in iOS.Tasks).
Removing this (unnecessary IMO) custom implementation of Move
ensures that when we switch to MSBuild, we can leverage improvements
and fixes on the task automatically.
* [msbuild] Move all the common MSBuild overriden tasks to MacDev
These tasks previously existed in iOS.Tasks, and Mac.Tasks. Since
they are reused across iOS and XM targets, move them to the common
MacDev project and update the targets accordingly.
Like the Copy/Delete/MakeDir/RemoveDir/Touch tasks, we need to override
this one so we can allow customer targets to also execute Mac tools
remotely when building from Windows, bringing parity to the build
customizations allowed on XS/xbuild since they build locally and Exec
"just works" there of course.
This prevents the watch from getting mightily confused when re-installing
watch apps/extensions.
Not having a CFBundleShortVersionString would cause the following:
* Build & install & run would work fine the first time.
* The second build & install would confuse the watch so that the
app wouldn't launch. Removing the app and reinstalling wouldn't
work; the potential options would be to either reboot the device,
or add a CFBundleShortVersionString to the Info.plists and install
that build twice.
Looks like Xcode isn't generating any UIDeviceRequiredCapabilities
for watchOS 1 extensions.
It used to have UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities = 'watch-companion'
but that *might* not be required anymore.
Commit 94e35a8570 on xamarin-macios/master
comes from those same assumptions.
Now regarding bug #41204:
User is getting error "ERROR ITMS-90563: "Missing UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities value"
when publish WatchKitCatalog sample.
(https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=41204)
This might happen because we're still creating an empty array for the
UIDeviceRequiredCapabilities key.
In any case there's no need to create it.
Xcode doesn't see to add a UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities = 'watch-companion'
anymore for watchos apps/extensions, not even when setting the deployment
version to 2.0.
This makes watchOS 2 apps launch in the simulator again.
MSBuild compares what is in FileWrites with the Outputs of the target
and any file that exists in FileWrites but *doesn't* exist in Outputs
gets deleted with the assumption that it is no longer needed via the
IncrementalClean MSBuild target.
Since these tasks cannot know what the outputs will be until the task
is run, we cannot use FileWrites.
