Can we add a conditional flag so its only built when building from mono.proj ?

So this is going to be a mono framework for ios/tvos/catalyst that always statically links in the full non-stub versions of all the components. Is that what we want? We always want to support hot reload and diagnostics, @rolfbjarne ?

Or should each component be its own dynamic .framework, too? (in which case... it would be upto the xamarin-macios embedding code to hook mono_dl_open and locate the components for us)

Or maybe one mono.framework with all the components, and one with only stubs?

statically links

I have not read the PR yet... but the goal of a .framework is that it's all dynamic (not static) linking

yea mono is built as a dynamic thing, but it will include all the components statically as part of it. I left some comments on the Paper.

Isn't there a hard limit to the number of .frameworks an app can have?

We always want to support hot reload and diagnostics,

Debug

  • We do not care about the app bundle size [1]
    • IOW all features (including HR and diagnostics) can be available in the binary (and be enabled/disabled by the app if required)
  • We care about build and deploy times
    • dynamic linking (used for frameworks) makes the build faster
    • the framework (binary) will rarely change (deployed to sim/device once)

[1] unless it starts affecting build/deploy times :-)

Release

  • We care about the app bundle size
    • by default, we won't be using the .framework
      • using the static libraries .a allows the native linker / strip to remove a lot of code. Using the framework would create much larger apps.
    • a release .framework is needed for app extensions
      • why ? it's smaller to share a single, larger .framework than to have a (even partial) runtime in 2 (or more) executables - main app and one/several extension(s)
  • We do not care (within limits) about build times. Release builds being less common than debug ones
  • We do not care about deploy times. Since release build are smaller then generally deploy faster anyway.

I do not see "hot reload" needed for release builds. Not entirely sure about "diagnostics" ...

Modularity is more important for the static libraries. The majority of apps ships without extensions (but that could change).

Or should each component be its own dynamic .framework, too?

There's a limit (at least a suggested one, never seen a rejection) to the number of user frameworks that an app should have. However a framework can have several dynamic libraries inside it... so we could control what's in or out.

Not sure if that's really needed...

Given there are quite a number of conditions and cases I wonder if it'd make more sense for Xamarin.iOS to create the .framework as part of the build when it is needed with just the right components? E.g. I've heard that we have some requirements to not ship the diagnostics TCP server code in release builds, even if it is not used.

We can create Mono.framework, but afaik we can't create the corresponding dSYM, that has to be done on the machine that compiled the object files.

I've done some work relating to debug symbol generation in #53240

dsyms for anything we generate and put in a nupkg should be available from the MS debug symbol service

@rolfbjarne we do have the dSYM's and can put them into the runtime pack (or the symbols nuget), would you mind trying if you can create the .framework based off of that?

@akoeplinger I created a very simple test case, and I was able to create a .framework and the corresponding .framework.dSYM from a .dylib and its corresponding .dylib.dSYM. I ran an executable that consumed the .framework in lldb, and lldb was able to symbolicate functions in the .framework. I wasn't able to make macOS' crash reporter symbolicate the framework functions though, so I'm not sure if the end result is actually correct, or if it just happens to work in lldb. One point is that Apple identifies .dSYM directories using a UUID (which shows up in the crash report), and if we create the .framework.dSYM from the .dylib.dSYM, those share the same UUID, and potentially things break.
