Start with unoplatform/uno.chefs, a cobbled-together NuGet environment, and then build uno.chefs for macOS+NativeAOT:
dotnet publish -c Release -r osx-x64 -f net10.0-desktop -p:TargetFrameworkOverride=net10.0-desktop -bl \
Chefs/Chefs.csproj \
-p:SelfContained=true -p:PublishAot=true -p:IsAotCompatible=true -p:UseSkiaRendering=true \
-p:IlcGenerateMapFile=true -p:IlcGenerateMstatFile=true -p:IlcGenerateDgmlFile=true \
-p:EmitCompilerGeneratedFiles=true -p:CompilerGeneratedFilesOutputPath=`pwd`/_gen
Run the app:
Chefs/bin/Release/net10.0-desktop/osx-x64/publish/ChefsOne of the earliest failure messages is:
fail: Uno.UI.DataBinding.BindingPropertyHelper[0]
The [SplashScreenContent] property getter does not exist on type [Uno.Toolkit.UI.ExtendedSplashScreen]
Short version: Fix this.
Longer version: How do we fix this? Conjecture: it may be sufficient to use [DynamicDependency] on OnApplyTemplate() and LoadNativeSplashScreen() to cause the property to be preserved, a'la:
partial class ExtendedSplashScreen {
[DynamicDependency(DynamicallyAccessedMemberTypes.PrivateProperties, typeof(ExtendedSplashScreen))
protected override void OnApplyTemplate() => …
