Xamarin.iOS AOT #20

Closed xlievo closed 6 years ago

xlievo commented 6 years ago

Do you support Xamarin.iOS AOT mode? as far as I know, Castle.Core is not acceptable.

Hi @xlievo

I am afraid that is not possible on AOT platforms. Interception means creating new types at runtime and that can't be done since all types must be known ahead of time (AOT).

OK, thank you for your quick reply.

As far as I know, Xamarin.android is acceptable. Does this mean that you can never intercept on Xamarin.IOS?

seesharper commented 6 years ago

One should never say never, but the general restriction is that you can't generate code at runtime on iOS. This means everything from the Reflection.Emit namespace that represents generating code. LambdaExpression.Compile works through interpretation, but that does not require new types since you can't create new types using expression trees.
