Integrated Mono Features/Fixes

Known Issues

LLVM Optimization Regression

  • A last minute regression was found inside the LLVM AOT backend that is commonly used for release builds. An API that return generics might not work properly, e.g. the following code would return false for both bool values when LLVM is enabled.
  • This issue will be fixed in a future 16.0 service release. In the mean time you should disable LLVM for your release builds (Project Options, Build) unless your tests were successfully executed using using the LLVM backend (and not the normal/mono AOT backend or a debug build).

64 bits watchOS support

  • Xcode 10 GM added support for 64 bits watch application, aka arm64_32. The current app store submission process requires this architecture to be included in your application when including watch support. You can workaround this with [https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/issues/4810#issuecomment-421338365](these instructions).

  • Trying to run a watch app on the new Series 4 Apple Watch will fail with this error:

    This is because the S4 device can only execute native arm64_32 code, not armv7k like previous watches.

    Please read https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/issues/4864 for more information and a workaround.

Apple Breaking Changes

  • rdar://41123682 Apple changed TVElementUpdateType* enum values. Please test your application if you're using this type.
  • rdar://43425168 Apple changed IN*WorkoutIntentResponseCode enum values. Please test your application if you're using this type.

Apple Non-Breaking Issues

  • rdar://41135211RPBroadcastPickerView symbol is not present in simulator. If needed you'll need to test this on devices.

Using an older Xcode version

Using an older Xcode version (than the one mentioned in the above requirements) is often possible, but some features may not be available. Also some limitations might require workarounds, e.g.:

  • The static registrar requires Xcode headers files to build applications, leading to MT0091 or MT4109 errors if APIs are missing. In most cases enabling the managed linker will help (by removing the API).
  • Bitcode builds (for tvOS and watchOS) can fail submission to the App Store unless an Xcode 9.0+ toolchain is used.
