[Mobile] Going forward with mobile support for Android and iOS #1414

Open tebjan opened 2 years ago

Copied from the Discussion on Discord:

The possible path forward:

Stride 4.0.x

Recommend .NET 4.7.2 for iOS and Android development (should be working now with recent fixes)
iOS and Android support will remain in a broken state on .NET 5.0 (this will not change)

Stride 4.1.x

Support for net6.0-ios and .net6.0-android on .NET 6.0 (partly done, see comment by @xen2 below)

Miscellaneous

[ ] Test the current state of OpenGL and OpenGL ES compatibility on Stride 4.0.x+ for iOS/Android

FYI, master (4.1) already has net6.0-ios (compiles, not tested) and net6.0-android (tested and it could run a default game; not sure if there might have been a bug with cubemaps (or not)). So for sure 4.1 won't ship with .NET 5.0 (nor UWP). It's 100% .NET 6.0.

talking about the lack of uwp for the new versions, i wonder if uwp couldn't end up replaced by the GDK that microsoft made available, the public one is for windows games, but is made so it is very easy to then compile for xbox after obtaining the rights to do so from microsoft https://github.com/microsoft/GDK
