Avalonia v12 net8-ios support #20745
-
|
Looking for clarity on the intentions around .NET 8 on iOS in v12: the blog post says "we're committing to .NET 8 support for the full lifecycle of Avalonia 12" but the Avalonia.iOS packages demand .NET 10 and I'm struggling to find any other discussion around this. We're aware there are issues with support for the .NET 8 iOS tooling, but not sure if this is relevant. Should we expect a .NET 8 version of the v12 Avalonia.iOS package, or is .NET 8 support for iOS being dropped with v12? |

Unless Microsoft reverses mobile SDK support for .NET 8, Avalonia won't be able to do that. It's not possible to build .NET 8-ios/android projects on .NET 10 SDK. Because .NET mobile SDKs have a different support policy by .NET itself, see https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/platform/support/policy/maui This is not a problem with desktop projects, because these follow normal LTC support policy, and we have no issues supporting .NET 8 there. |

Yep, we continue to build against net8-ios with either .NET 8 or .NET 9 owing to these same issues. Thanks for the clarification. |

.NET 8 support for iOS/Android is dropped by the .NET 10 SDK.
