* xibuild: New wrapper tool to run msbuild or managed executables MSBuild supports fallback paths for projects imported using `$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)`, but these must be specified explicitly in the app.config of the main executable. There was a PR to allow use of properties for this in the app.config, but that was not accepted upstream. This is required for being able to: 1. build projects with msbuild against the in-tree XI/XM build output 2. and to run nunit tests against the same. For this we introduce a new tool, `xibuild`, based on XA's `xabuild`. This supports the fallback paths to be specified via the environment variable `MSBuildExtensionsPathFallbackPathsOverride`[1]. It essentially operates in 3 modes: 1. `xibuild -c /path/to/foo.exe` Generates /path/to/foo.exe.config with the fallback paths inserted into that. 2. `xibuild -- /v:diag /path/to/project.csproj` Runs msbuild with the arguments after `--` with a custom app.config based on `MSBuild.dll.config`, with the fallback paths correctly inserted. This is in a temporary file and the original config file is not touched. 3. `xibuild -t -- /path/to/managed_tool.exe args` Generates `/path/to/managed_tool.exe.config` based on `MSBuild.dll.config` with the fallback paths inserted, and runs `managed_tool.exe` with the arguments. The default is to overwrite the config file. But there is also a switch to merge it with an existing config file. -- 1. Value of the environment variable $MSBuildExtensionsPathFallbackPathsOverride is prepended to any existing list of search paths in `MSBuild.dll.config`, IOW, it takes precedence. So, the order of lookup becomes: - Value of the property `$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)` - Value of the environment variable `$MSBuildExtensionsPathFallbackPathsOverride` - /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/External/xbuild on macOS * Integrate use of `xibuild` with the tests Update all uses of `msbuild` and invocations of tools like nunit that might depend on using the in-tree builds to use `xibuild`. * xibuild: Move help descriptions to OptionSet itself. |

Xamarin.iOS & Xamarin.Mac

Welcome!
This module is the main repository for both Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Mac.
These SDKs allow us to create native iOS, tvOS, watchOS and macOS applications using the same UI controls we would in Objective-C and Xcode, except with the flexibility and elegance of a modern language (C#), the power of the .NET Base Class Library (BCL), and two first-class IDEs—Visual Studio for Mac and Visual Studio—at our fingertips.
This repository is where we do development for the Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Mac SDKs. There are a few ways that you can contribute, for example:
- Submit bugs and feature requests
- Review source code changes
- Submit pull requests to resolve issues and fix bugs
Contributing
If you are interested in fixing issues and contributing directly to the code base, please see the document How to Contribute, which covers the following:
- How to build and run from source
- The development workflow, including debugging and running tests
- Coding Guidelines
- Submitting pull requests
Feedback
- Ask a question on Stack Overflow or the Xamarin Forums
- Request a new feature on GitHub
- Vote on existing feature requests
- Submit bugs to GitHub Issues
- Discuss development and design on Gitter or email macios-devel@lists.xamarin.com
