Build and Package

Local repository workflow

The expected local sequence is:

git submodule update --init --recursive
dotnet format --no-restore
dotnet build Svg.Skia.slnx -c Release
dotnet test Svg.Skia.slnx -c Release

The Uno sample app is intentionally not part of Svg.Skia.slnx, so those default commands do not require Uno workloads. The MAUI projects are validated and packed by the dedicated MAUI workflow jobs because they require the .NET MAUI workload.

CI workflows

The repository now has dedicated workflows for:

  • build and test,
  • release packaging,
  • docs publishing.

The docs workflow builds the Lunet site and publishes site/.lunet/build/www to GitHub Pages on pushes to main or master.

Packaging notes

The repository ships more than one NuGet package. The main runtime packages are:

  • Svg.Skia
  • Svg.Model
  • Svg.Controls.Skia.Uno
  • Svg.Controls.Skia.Maui
  • Svg.Controls.Avalonia
  • Svg.Controls.Skia.Avalonia
  • Skia.Controls.Avalonia
  • SvgML.Maui
  • Svg.SourceGenerator.Skia
  • Svg.CodeGen.Skia
  • Svg.Custom
  • ShimSkiaSharp

There are also sample or tool packages such as Svg.Skia.Converter and svgc.

Release path

The release.yml workflow:

  • builds and tests a release,
  • packs the NuGet artifacts,
  • pushes packages to NuGet,
  • creates a GitHub release with the packaged artifacts attached.

Uno sample publishing

Use the standalone sample project when validating the Uno control package:

uno-check --target desktop --target web --target android --target ios
dotnet build samples/UnoSvgSkiaSample/UnoSvgSkiaSample.csproj -c Release -f net10.0-desktop
dotnet publish samples/UnoSvgSkiaSample/UnoSvgSkiaSample.csproj -c Release -f net10.0-browserwasm
dotnet build samples/UnoSvgSkiaSample/UnoSvgSkiaSample.csproj -c Release -f net10.0-android
dotnet build samples/UnoSvgSkiaSample/UnoSvgSkiaSample.csproj -c Release -f net10.0-ios

MAUI sample validation

Use the standalone MAUI control sample when validating Svg.Controls.Skia.Maui end to end:

dotnet workload install maui
dotnet build samples/MauiSvgSkiaSample/MauiSvgSkiaSample.csproj -c Release -f net10.0-android
dotnet build samples/MauiSvgSkiaSample/MauiSvgSkiaSample.csproj -c Release -f net10.0-ios
dotnet build samples/MauiSvgSkiaSample/MauiSvgSkiaSample.csproj -c Release -f net10.0-maccatalyst
