(Xamarin): Bitrise using **project** config setting instead of **solution** config setting?

Question & Answer
1

I’ve got a solution config setting called “QA” and a solution config setting called “Test” in my Xamarin solution.

They both map to all project configurations named “QA” … except for one project, my IoC project. The “Test” solution maps to the “Test” IoC project (injecting different environment values, etc as you can imagine).

You can see in the log snippet above that my Configuration flag is being set to QA … but it should be Test (From XamarinConfiguration).

This is only happening on Android builds. When building for iOS, I get the expected result.

Is this a bug in the Android Archive Step (xamarin-archive@1.3.3) or am I doing something else wrong?

Thanks!

Hi @leeflannery,

all of the xamarin steps (which builds your project), uses solution configuration + platform as step inputs and our shared xamarin builder tool, maps your solution configuratio + platform to the desired project configuration + platform.

So the project build commands are called with the mapped project configuration + platform params (based on your projects solution - project config, platform mapping).
