SetPlatform for the new Arm7

[nick5454]

I have this code below and Cake.CoreCLR 0.38.4 and I need to set the iPhone configuration for ARM7.

Can this be added? Will using WithProperty work also? I believe this is the new architecture for iOS builds.

I'm having issues with switching the CodesignKey using MSBuild

I looked here and did not see a setting for it: http://develop.cakebuild.net/api/Cake.Common.Tools.MSBuild/PlatformTarget/

Also, WithProperty does work, since iPhone is generally used in peoples projects. It would be nice to add an enum or exend the SetPlatform to allow a string.

			configurator
				.SetConfiguration(BuildParameters.Configuration)
				.SetPlatformTarget(BuildParameters.Platform)
				.SetVerbosity(Verbosity.Diagnostic)
				.WithProperty("BuildIpa", "true")
				.WithProperty("CodesignKey",  BuildParameters.CertTypes[BranchProject].IOSTeam)
				.WithProperty("CodesignProvision", provisionType) 
				.WithProperty("MtouchNoSymbolStrip", "false")
				.WithProperty("ArchiveOnBuild", "true")
				.WithLogger(
					Context.Tools.Resolve("MSBuild.ExtensionPack.Loggers.dll").FullPath,
					"XmlFileLogger",
					$"logfile=\"{BuildParameters.LogPath}\";verbosity=Detailed;encoding=UTF-8"
					)
				);```

Assuming ARM7 is a more recent platform target, then it's not part of the enum yet (should be added in a future version of Cake), so in the meantime you should use .WithProperty("Platform", "xxxx")

e.g.

configurator
    .SetConfiguration(BuildParameters.Configuration)
-    .SetPlatformTarget(BuildParameters.Platform)
+    .WithProperty("Platform", "ARM7")
    .SetVerbosity(Verbosity.Diagnostic)
    .WithProperty("BuildIpa", "true")
    .WithProperty("CodesignKey",  BuildParameters.CertTypes[BranchProject].IOSTeam)
    .WithProperty("CodesignProvision", provisionType) 
    .WithProperty("MtouchNoSymbolStrip", "false")
    .WithProperty("ArchiveOnBuild", "true")
    .WithLogger(
        Context.Tools.Resolve("MSBuild.ExtensionPack.Loggers.dll").FullPath,
        "XmlFileLogger",
        $"logfile=\"{BuildParameters.LogPath}\";verbosity=Detailed;encoding=UTF-8"
        )
    );

It would be great if you could point us to documentation where we can see which platform targets we should be adding to the enumeration (PRs welcome as well).

Here is a link I found: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/ios/deploy-test/compiling-for-different-devices?tabs=windows looks like they update this. Will post more if I find any @augustoproiete

I can start PR's, but swamped with pipelines for the next few days.

Thanks!

Looks like at the very least we should be adding:

• ARMv6
• ARMv7
• ARMv7s

Right?

Did you mean ARMv7 instead of ARM7 or is ARM7 something new?

@augustoproiete I think I am wrong, saw it in a post somewhere. I would go with the documentation and I have a 5 apps on the pipeline, so I can test those
