Xcode9 based preview

Requirements

• The latest features and API requires Xcode 9.0 beta 6 and the bundled macOS SDKs;
• Apple Xcode 9.0 requires a Mac running macOS 10.12 (Sierra) or newer;

Important Issues

• Xamarin.Mac applications using the static registrar will fail to compile with Xcode 9 beta 4 due to a broken AVFoundation header. This is default setting for Release builds. Passing --registrar:dynamic via "Additional MMP arguments" is the workaround until Apple fixes the header.
• Xamarin.Mac 32-bit applications (Unified or Classic) will crash on 10.13 beta 3. This is due to a bug in the GeoServices private framework and is filed. This is fixed in 10.13 beta 4.

What's New

This release is built upon our open sourced SDK, using the xcode9 branch, and is based on our upcoming Xamarin.Mac 3.6 release.

macOS 10.13

The following new frameworks were added in macOS 10.13:

• CoreML.framework (Machine Learning)

Xamarin.Mac 3.99.x (continuous builds)

All of our builds are also available for download directly. A bit of warning, they come from our build bots and receive no QA. Verified builds will be made available as web preview during summer.

Our Jenkins bots produce the API diff for every commit that is being built. Pick a build based on xcode9 and look for the API diff link on the left column.

You can track the latest status of our API work on the wiki.
