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.
The '_GenerateBundleName' target is defined separately for normal projects and
extension projects, and only one of the was updated in a previous refactoring.
The _ACTool_PartialAppManifestCache and _ACTool_BundleResourceCache are
duplicated (merge conflict resolution failure?), and also already present in
Xamarin.Shared.targets, so just remove these definitions.
* Share the following targets:
* _ResolveAppExtensionReferences
* _SplitAppExtensionReferencesByExistent
* _AssignAppExtensionConfiguration
* _SeparateAppExtensionReferences
* _CopyAppExtensionsToBundle
The first four were pretty much identical between iOS and Mac already, and
needed very few changes.
The latter, _CopyAppExtensionsToBundle, required a little bit of tweaking to
the targets to make sure it works for both iOS and Mac:
* Removed the conditions on the Ditto task to check if we have app extensions
- this is unnecessary because Inputs/Outputs on the target itself (which
weren't there when the Ditto task conditions were written).
* Added a '_PlaceAppExtensions' target that calculates where in the
container's app bundle extensions should be placed (the '_AppExtensionRoot'
property), and the name of the containing folder (the 'ContainerName'
metadata).
* 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.
