Fix linker issue by upgrading Xamarin.AndroidX.AppCompat #399
Conversation
Fixes Baseflow#398 Related: Baseflow#397 dotnet/android-libraries#821 After upgrading AndroidX packages in our Xamarin Forms Android project, the linker fails on LottieXamarin using some outdated version of AndroidX types. ``` Error Mono.Linker.MarkException: Error processing method: 'AndroidX.Collection.SparseArrayCompat Com.Airbnb.Lottie.LottieComposition::get_Characters()' in assembly: 'Lottie.Android.dll' ---> Mono.Cecil.ResolutionException: Failed to resolve AndroidX.Collection.SparseArrayCompat ``` ### Changes - Update `Xamarin.AndroidX.AppCompat` from 1.3.1.3 to 1.6.1.6 - Change Android target from monoandroid10.0 to monoandroid12.0 to support newest AndroidX package ### Notes This needs some assistance to fit into the latest changes of `develop` with net6.0 / maui. I'm not sure if this is experimental or not, but I was not able to build it. The PR is currently based on the commit prior to net6.0 / maui update, since our team is currently stuck on standard Xamarin Forms for some time and it solves our need. Maybe we can multi-target both monoandroid12.0 and android-net6.0 to continue support for old Xamarin?

Just a heads up, but I will not be pursuing this PR as we switched to another library instead. https://github.com/mono/SkiaSharp.Extended (must use prerelease nugets as of now) This article was helpful although it explains for MAUI: I'll leave the PR open for anyone stumbling into this later or if you wish to take over the PR. |
