Wrapper_iOSLib.zip Wrapper_NetStd.zip Wrapper.zip
Steps to Reproduce
- Create .net standard/.net framework/xamarin.ios project
- Install E4K nuget package
- I m trying E4K on Windows connected to Mac via Mac Agent.
- Add post build event command
- Just for info it was giving "mscorlib" not found error but I have added "<Reference Include="mscorlib" Reference/>" in .csproj file to fix it & set its copy to local property to "True"
Expected Behavior
It should create .framework
Actual Behavior

Example Projects
Generating an obj-c framework requires Xcode/clang/a mac, and today the Embeddinator-4000 does not support remote builds to my knowledge.
Uploaded sample projects. Can you pls confirm whether E4K does not support on visual studio windows for iOS applications using Mac agent (remote build)?
Sorry I was not crystal clear: The "remote build host" support in VS Windows does not apply to Embeddinator-4000. Full stop.
If you want to build a macOS native library with an embedded .NET library, you'll need to do it on a macOS build machine.
I'm leaving this issue open as a feature request, but give the sheer scale of it seems unlikely to be implemented.
