MonoVM: Missing runtime workloads for Mac Catalyst and macOS

[rolfbjarne]

Description

Currently there are runtime workloads for iOS and tvOS:

runtime/src/mono/nuget/Microsoft.NET.Workload.Mono.Toolchain.Manifest/WorkloadManifest.json.in

Lines 33 to 63 in dbb05eb

	"microsoft-net-runtime-ios": {
	"abstract": true,
	"description": "iOS Mono Runtime and AOT Workload",
	"packs": [
	"Microsoft.NET.Runtime.RuntimeConfigParser.Task",

	],
	"platforms": [ "osx-arm64", "osx-x64" ]
	},

	"abstract": true,
	"description": "tvOS Mono Runtime and AOT Workload",
	"packs": [

	"Microsoft.NET.Runtime.MonoAOTCompiler.Task",
	"Microsoft.NETCore.App.Runtime.Mono.tvos-arm64",
	"Microsoft.NETCore.App.Runtime.Mono.tvossimulator",
	"Microsoft.NETCore.App.Runtime.AOT.Cross.tvos-arm64",
	"Microsoft.NETCore.App.Runtime.AOT.Cross.tvossimulator"
	],
	"platforms": [ "osx-arm64", "osx-x64" ]
	}
	},

but we're missing runtime workloads for Mac Catalyst and macOS.

While not strictly necessary, this would make it easier for us to acquire the AOT compilers for Mac Catalyst and macOS.

I couldn't figure out the best area label to add to this issue. If you have write-permissions please help me learn by adding exactly one area label.

[lewing]

actually it looks like there are only catalyst builds, do we need osx builds as well?

[steveisok]

Yeah, looks like we do.

@rolfbjarne @dalexsoto I was under the impression that xam macos was using coreclr as the runtime. Is that not correct?

I was under the impression that xam macos was using coreclr as the runtime. Is that not correct?

It supports both and uses the UseMonoRuntime property to switch. The default is still set to Mono in current previews.

Correct, Mono is still the default, and you can set UseMonoRuntime=false to get CoreCLR.
