Add support for building CoreCLR for iOS/tvOS simulator #98127

Build instructions:

Build the runtime pack and tools: ./build.sh clr+clr.runtime+libs+packs -os [iossimulator/tvossimulator/maccatalyst] -arch [x64/arm64] -cross -c Release
Run the sample app in iOS simulator: ./dotnet.sh publish src/mono/sample/iOS/Program.csproj -c Release /p:TargetOS=iossimulator /p:TargetArchitecture=arm64 /p:DeployAndRun=true /p:UseMonoRuntime=false /p:RunAOTCompilation=false /p:MonoForceInterpreter=false

Additional work outside of dotnet/runtime:

Counter-part Xamarin changes needed to build full workload and run MAUI apps: https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/compare/net8.0...filipnavara:xamarin-macios:net8.0-coreclr-ioslike?expand=1
SDK would need to be updated with RIDs in KnownRuntimeFramework to use this

For my own curiosity, will CoreCLR iOS apps be possible to be shipped in the third-party app stores that will come to the EU?

src/native/libs are shared with Mono. How does this work on iOS - why are these changes not needed for Mono/iOS?

This file is used only for the static entrypoint resolution in apphost. Technically we would not need it here either if I removed the (unused) apphost build.

For my own curiosity, will CoreCLR iOS apps be possible to be shipped in the third-party app stores that will come to the EU?

Probably not. I was hoping that there would be a change to allow deployment to your own device for debugging purposes, but you still need a restricted entitlement (JIT) for that and Apple won’t let you get it for signing.

filipnavara · 2024-02-08T08:29:41Z

Unfortunately, the debugger doesn't work yet (CORDBG_E_DEBUG_COMPONENT_MISSING). I think I didn't compile all the components. I'll drop the tvOS part with next rebase, it's not polished...

+#if INVARIANT_GLOBALIZATION
+    setenv ("DOTNET_SYSTEM_GLOBALIZATION_INVARIANT", "1", TRUE);


Would it work if these were passed via runtime properties? It feels wrong to pollute the process env. variable space like this.

FWIW this is preexisting code from

runtime/src/tasks/AppleAppBuilder/Templates/runtime.m

Lines 260 to 262 in 5161ccd

#if INVARIANT_GLOBALIZATION

setenv ("DOTNET_SYSTEM_GLOBALIZATION_INVARIANT", "1", TRUE);

#endif

.

I didn't really think it matters when the AppleAppBuilder was used only for tests and samples. However, it got productized as part of shared library building tooling, so maybe we should revisit it.

yes this could use runtimeconfig now, I think this was added way back when we didn't have support for parsing it and this was just used for tests

Nit: maybe once this is merged, we should followup with some naming cleanup in the samples and rename this to just ios_runtime_init...

Thanks, looks great! Could we add some test coverage to this PR? Is it possible to enable functional tests?

Is it possible to JIT on arm64 simulators?

Technically yes. You need to call the one API to enable it which is not allowed in headers. I would not do that in production, but I think it's okay for local debugging.

Why is this tvOS-specific?

tvOS arbitrarily lacks some of the Mach APIs. I was planning to rebase and drop the tvOS part for now.

Can we integrate this into the official build pipeline and run a functional test in runtime-ioslikesimulator pipeline?

Sorry for not caring enough about this PR. I hope to give it some attention next week.

Can we integrate this into the official build pipeline and run a functional test in runtime-ioslikesimulator pipeline?

I'll check what would it take but the YAML pipelines are not exactly my strength.
