Steps to Reproduce

  1. dotnet new maccatalyst
  2. dotnet build or dotnet build -c Release

Even on an M1, I get a maccatalyst-x64 app.

Expected Behavior

I'm thinking it should do:

  1. Debug - pick the RID on the machine you're building with. So an M1 gets a maccatalyst-arm64 and Intel gets maccatalyst-x64, and this would help the developer loop? No Rosetta when your app launches for debugging/development?
  2. Release - defaults to RuntimeIdentifiers=maccatalyst-x64;maccatalyst-arm64 so Release builds get an app that supports both by default.

Users can override these defaults in their .csproj.

Actual Behavior

It seems like it just defaults to maccatalyst-x64? Always?

Environment

I was testing with the latest .NET 6 builds.

This seems like a good idea, adding to NET7 for consideration.

This might also apply to net6.0-macos apps, but I didn't try one of those. I was testing MacCatalyst for a customer's MAUI app.

Yes, I can confirm that this is the behaviour for net6.0-macos too.

IIRC @rolfbjarne wanted to ensure consistent output whatever the arch of the bots that build the app. The same logic would also apply to Catalyst apps.

For now (maybe for .NET 7), I would consider just changing the default for Release builds and leave Debug builds as-is.

I agree, I'll make Release builds default to be universal (for both macOS and Mac Catalyst).

…otnet#15620.

ARM64-based macOS machines are becoming more and more common, and as such it
makes sense to include ARM64 builds in the app bundle when building for
release.

Universal builds are much slower than single-architecture builds, which is why
we don't make debug builds universal.

Fixes dotnet#15620.
