Xamarin Forms: Github Actions DEMO (incl. CommunityToolkit.MVVM source generators + .NET 6 NUnit Test run)
Sample project that demonstrates using github actions to run CI builds whenever a commit is pushed to main, or a pull request happens
The Sample project includes
- Android and iOS Xamarin Forms projects
- Shared .NET 2 Standard library, with a dependency on CommunityToolkit.MVVM, which makes use of source generators
- .NET 6 NUnit Test project
- we need a dedicated solution file that doesn't include the test project when retoring nugets for the mobile projects, else build fails looking for .NET 6.x SDK (even if it's installed by an action command)
- copied the Release build configuration to a new 'GitHubActions' build configuration, and then edited the CSharp.targets import to be included to be able to build on both local machine and CI builds by making using of Conditional statements
- it seems the the current version of mono only includes Roslyn 3.x compiler, but source generators require 4.x This only fails using msbuild though. The .NET 6 Test project builds just fine link
