Would it be possible to parse the comments at least for Vulkan from the vk.xml?https://raw.githubusercontent.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Headers/00671c64ba5c488ade22ad572a0ef81d5e64c803/registry/vk.xml
I don't know if there are equivalent files for the over libraries.

GGamerSocke Would it be possible to parse the comments at least for Vulkan from the vk.xml?h...

the comments aren't really useful and aren't consistently applied

Perksey•1/12/23, 2:57 PM

basically the strategy for 3.0 will be:

For OpenGL, use the ref pages
For Vulkan/OpenXR, use the official specs
For Microsoft's libraries, https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/win32
For everything else, try to salvage something from the comments Clang picks up if possible

Hello everyone. I have recently discovered Silk.NET and decided to check it out. I'm using Fedora 36 and I have installed .NET manually from here https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/6.0
I am currently trying to sharpen my C# skills by making a game that would run on at least windows, linux and android. So far, building and running Hello Window tutorial on linux worked like a charm (and i would imagine running it on windows shouldn't be a problem either), however there are a few oddities when it comes to android.

Running 'dotnet build' after setting up everything on AndroidDemo project produces an apk without assemblies, which causes an app to crash on startup:

Igorko•1/13/23, 4:36 PM

So far, I've resolved this by adding <EmbedAssembliesIntoApk>true</EmbedAssembliesIntoApk> into csproj file, but it bloats the apk size to 94 megabytes. It doesn't fix the crashes, however.

Igorko•1/13/23, 4:36 PM

For some reason, it needs BLUETOOTH_CONNECT permission? Adding <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_CONNECT" /> to AndroidManifest.xml and then manually enabling it in the settings on my phone resolved the crashes and made the app run properly. But why? And also, how can i resolve missing assemblies error without bloating the app size?

Igorko•1/13/23, 4:36 PM

Please keep in mind that I've never used dotnet without visual studio before and that I'm fairly new when it comes to crossplatform C# development in general, thanks c:

Igorko•1/13/23, 4:37 PM

Also keep in mind that I've slightly modified the AndroidDemo project. I've included the archive bellow, just in case, but my changes only consist of adding a few lines to csproj and android manifests, and replacing Silk.NET project references with package references from nuget.

AndroidDemo.tar.gz67.73KB

TechPizza•1/13/23, 5:33 PM

that's concerning

TechPizza•1/13/23, 5:33 PM

can you try getting a plain net7 android app working first

TechPizza•1/13/23, 5:34 PM

also packaging native libs changed, so if the silk android demo is old then you're pretty screwed

Perksey•1/13/23, 5:37 PM

i think we use whatever we used on xamarin

Perksey•1/13/23, 5:37 PM

which should still work

IIgorko For some reason, it needs BLUETOOTH_CONNECT permission? Adding <uses-permission ...

Perksey•1/13/23, 5:38 PM

both of these issues you can't resolve really, you can attempt to reduce the size issue by enabling linking but fundamentally you kinda need assemblies to run a .NET application!

Perksey•1/13/23, 5:38 PM

as for the bluetooth thing i have no idea why SDL needs it but it does

PPerksey i think we use whatever we used on xamarin

TechPizza•1/13/23, 5:43 PM

putting them in an undocumented folder in the nuget ain't working anymore chief

TechPizza•1/13/23, 5:44 PM

you need to put them into a different path, compressed into an android bundle, and mark them to be imported

TechPizza•1/13/23, 5:44 PM

luckily android bundles are literally just zips so you can create them easily

TechPizza•1/13/23, 5:45 PM

this changed in the middle of net6 some good time ago

Perksey•1/13/23, 5:45 PM

yeah no we don't do that

Perksey•1/13/23, 5:45 PM

we have explicit msbuild targets just as we did with xamarin

TechPizza•1/13/23, 5:45 PM

well, the way i described is the recommended solution now

TechPizza•1/13/23, 5:46 PM

and anything i tried to use in net6+ for android was broken

TechPizza•1/13/23, 5:46 PM

i honestly don't understand why nuget is so moronic when it comes to native libs

Perksey•1/13/23, 5:47 PM

oh nvm that's what we do with ios

Perksey•1/13/23, 5:47 PM

on android we just have a .aar next to the .dll

TechPizza•1/13/23, 5:47 PM

yeah ios stayed the same i think

PPerksey on android we just have a .aar next to the .dll

TechPizza•1/13/23, 5:48 PM

yup, that's the bundle bs

Perksey•1/13/23, 5:48 PM

our ios solution is so chaotic

TechPizza•1/13/23, 5:48 PM

looks... as expected

TechPizza•1/13/23, 5:50 PM

i went through some hellish troubles to figure out how to package veldrid-spirv the modern way

TechPizza•1/13/23, 5:50 PM

there are like no docs at all

TechPizza•1/13/23, 5:51 PM

and issues on the nuget repo about lack of docs just tell you to look how other projects do it

Perksey•1/13/23, 5:51 PM

yeah i really dislike nuget and msbuild

Perksey•1/13/23, 5:51 PM

i like how modern msbuild hides the complexity though

Perksey•1/13/23, 5:51 PM

...until it doesn't

TechPizza•1/13/23, 5:52 PM

if only c# was a simple as "invoke compiler" and you're done :(

TechPizza•1/13/23, 5:53 PM

i take cursed msbuild xml over cmake though

Perksey•1/13/23, 5:53 PM

yeah i mean cmake is a low bar though

TTechPizza can you try getting a plain net7 android app working first

Igorko•1/13/23, 5:53 PM

i will be doing that in a moment

Igorko•1/13/23, 6:11 PM

just tried building and running android app template, and it seems to have missing assemblies as well

Igorko•1/13/23, 6:11 PM

i tried it on .net6, currently downloading .net7 to see if its any different

Perksey•1/13/23, 6:11 PM

have you tried dotnet build -c releasedotnet build -c release

PPerksey have you tried `dotnet build -c release`

Igorko•1/13/23, 6:11 PM

nope

Igorko•1/13/23, 6:11 PM

gonna try rn

PPerksey have you tried `dotnet build -c release`

Igorko•1/13/23, 6:21 PM

okay, this did help

Igorko•1/13/23, 6:22 PM

dotnet included assemblies into apk without <EmbedAssembliesIntoApk>true</EmbedAssembliesIntoApk> ,and also optimized them for size

Igorko•1/13/23, 6:22 PM

however building android demo from silk failed
