Change .NET Runtime to v4.8 in Xamarin Studio/VS for Mac Preference will be a workaroud
This is going to break any Xamarin dev using Fody very soon. It looks unfortunately like this project is a bit dead. I took a quick look at merging in the upstream Cecil changes back into Fody’s fork, and it looks like maybe Cecil now includes the functionality Fody had added to their fork, so perhaps it’s possible to use Cecil as a true dependency. I may have an extended look at this over the next few days.
So I checked the latest nuget packages for Fody. 1.29.4 en 1.30.0-beta01 are coming with Mono.Cecil.dll version 0.9.6.0; so this is the problem (according to Mono.Cecil).
However, in https://github.com/Fody/Fody/tree/master/Lib/Cecil I see the that the version is 0.10.0 …
Is it possible to create a new update for fody packaging this latest version? @SimonCropp ?
@ismly Here you are http://www.mono-project.com/docs/about-mono/releases/4.8.0/
It seems like this is causing major havoc for a lot of dev’s… so glad it’s not just me. It seems that the root of this is Cecil, however it is also a Fody problem due to the way in which Fody ships with no dependencies by including Cecil as part of the package. Supposedly the issue should be fixed in 0.10-beta5, however Fody would need to release an updated package with the new Cecil binaries.
Well, on Windows, there is not such configuration, is there a mono somewhere?
@Lenndev nobody is “pointing”, people just try to find the cause and get it logged into a proper issue tracker.
