Xamarin.Android 9.2.3.0
Xamarin.Android 9.2.3.0 was released to the Stable updater channel of Visual Studio 2019 for Mac.
Update April 30, 2019: Xamarin.Android 9.2.3.0 is now also available as part of Visual Studio 2019 version 16.0.3. The difference in publication date was due to a few coincidences with the timing of this particular release.
Issues fixed
Application Mono Framework behavior on device and emulator
This version of Xamarin.Android updates the Mono 5.18 runtime and class libraries from Commit 5ad371da to Commit 5ac37ccd, adding 2 new commits:
- Developer Community 435502, Developer Community 515603, GitHub 2920: Xamarin.Android apps would crash during debugging when they called certain APIs. Applications affected by this issue would run successfully if launched without the debugger attached, but when launched with the debugger attached, the applications would exit unexpectedly after one of the problematic APIs was called. The debug output would show a "Fatal signal 11 (SIGSEGV)" after the crash.
- Mono GitHub 13610: Xamarin.Android projects in which users had explicitly set a value for the undocumented, experimental
$(AndroidAotMode)
MSBuild property could hit a problem where methods that returnedTask
objects or generic types would lead to incorrect return values. This is not expected to be an issue for any current Xamarin.Android projects. The fix is included in this release to keep the Mono commit aligned with Xamarin.iOS.
OSS core
The commercial build for this version is based on the bundle from the open-source xamarin-android-d16-0 build #36.
