Try to compile for other platforms (tvOS, watchOS, visionOS, Android)

Outdated Info (both iOS and Android are supported now):

As of May 2023, NativeAOT is only (officially) supported on desktop platforms.

Regarding iOS: https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/80905

Regarding Android: https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/76983

Check again in .NET 8 Preview 6

As expected, this is a supported scenario in Preview 6: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/announcing-dotnet-8-preview-6/ So we can test this now.

Unfortunately it looks like NativeAOT support for iOS in .NET 8 Preview 6 is currently limited to app projects and classlibs are not supported.

@filipnavara is that correct?

The current state of the iOS experiments is here.

Building for ios-arm64 works now with some workarounds in the csproj:

  • PublishAotUsingRuntimePack needs to be set to true (This is actually documented)
  • _IsAppleMobileLibraryMode needs to be set to false
  • The linker must be configured to target iOS by adding this:
<ItemGroup>
    <LinkerArg Include="-isysroot /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS.sdk" />
    <LinkerArg Include="-mios-version-min=16.0" />
</ItemGroup>

A "dummy" (unused) Main method must be present in the .NET project that's to be compiled with NativeAOT.

Many thx for your support @filipnavara!

Btw, for the Android part, that should also work if you use the Bionic RID. This issue has the latest details: https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/87340. The official doc is not written up yet.

@MichalStrehovsky Many thx for the info! I'll get to Android part once I'm happy with the way things work for Apple targets.

https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/pull/93658 will add proper iOS library support to .NET. Once that lands, we should remove the various workarounds that are in place today.

There's hope for visionOS support: https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/87929
