Does Prism fully support AOT?

[JusterZhu]

Do Prism-wpf and Prism-avalonia perfectly support AOT compilation when using DryIoC for reflection-based plugin loading, or to what extent is it supported? Are there any drawbacks? Are there differences between the Windows and Linux platforms?

@JusterZhu,

As the publisher of Prism.Avalonia, this feature is still under evaluation.

Though you may have some success with smaller applications, we cannot assure 100% success across the various Linux distributions, Win, Mac, etc.

@JusterZhu The following is an example of creating a release package which is self-contained. This has been tested with Prism.Avalonia.

Check out the Runtime Identifier Catalog for additional runtimes, and DotNet Publish for more info. This can be useful when building in AOT does not work out for your (larger) applications.

# Windows x64
dotnet publish source/MyProject/MyProject.csproj -c Release -r win-x64 -o publish/MyProject/win-x64 -p:PublishReadyToRun=true -p:PublishSingleFile=true

# Raspberry PI - Linux ARM-x64
dotnet publish source/MyProject/MyProject.csproj -c Release -r linux-x64 -o publish/MyProject/linux-arm64 -p:PublishReadyToRun=true -p:PublishSingleFile=true
