ci: pin iOS workload set + Xcode version for todoapp-avalonia/maui iOS builds - #530

Conversation
…ch (CommunityToolkit#529) todoapp-avalonia / ios and todoapp-maui / ios both call 'dotnet workload install ios' / 'maui-ios' unpinned (loose-manifests mode), which always resolves the newest published Microsoft.iOS.Sdk.net10.0_* pack. As of workload set 10.0.108, that's 26.5.10284, which requires Xcode 26.5 - not installed on either macOS-15 or macOS-26 runner images currently backing the macos-latest label during its migration window (see actions/runner-images#14167), causing intermittent 'This version of .NET for iOS (26.5.10284) requires Xcode 26.5' build failures. - Add repo-root global.json pinning sdk.workloadVersion to 10.0.107, the last workload set before the iOS/MacCatalyst/macOS/tvOS manifest moved to the 26.4/26.5 pack line, while keeping the MAUI (10.0.20) and Android (36.1.53) manifests at their latest versions. This applies automatically to every 'dotnet workload install' call in CI (including the currently-disabled todoapp-uno / ios-maccatalyst job, once CommunityToolkit#506 is resolved and it's wired back in) with no per-job or per-project edits needed. - Pin the todoapp-avalonia / ios and todoapp-maui / ios jobs to macos-15 (instead of macos-latest) as defense-in-depth so the Xcode version these jobs build against is deterministic during the migration window, rather than randomly landing on macos-15 or macos-26.
…ommunityToolkit#529) The repo-root global.json approach broke every other sample build (todoapp-mvc, todoapp-blazor-wasm, datasync-server, etc.) on a fresh runner with: error MSB4242: SDK Resolver Failure: ... Workload version 10.0.107, which was specified in .../global.json, was not found. Run 'dotnet workload restore' to install this workload version. Microsoft.NET.Sdk.ImportWorkloads.props enforces the pinned workload version for every 'dotnet build'/'restore' invocation whose cwd falls under a global.json declaring sdk.workloadVersion - regardless of whether that specific project has any workload dependency - and it's not satisfied lazily; it must already be installed. Confirmed via a real workflow_dispatch run (see https://github.com/adrianhall/CommunityToolkit-Datasync/actions/runs/29081276609). Replaced with 'dotnet workload install ios/maui-ios --version 10.0.107' scoped to just the ios job's env/steps in each affected workflow. This pins only that job's install (and the restore/build steps that follow it on the same runner), leaving every other job - including the android jobs in the same workflows - on unpinned/latest workload resolution.
…mmunityToolkit#529) Testing the --version 10.0.107 workload pin alone (previous commit) still failed on macos-15: error: This version of .NET for iOS (26.2.10233) requires Xcode 26.3. The current version of Xcode is 16.4. Confirmed via a real workflow_dispatch run (https://github.com/adrianhall/CommunityToolkit-Datasync/actions/runs/29081474204) that both todoapp-avalonia/ios and todoapp-maui/ios resolve to the SAME newest-available pack within the pinned workload set (26.2.10233, _RecommendedXcodeVersion=26.3 per Microsoft.iOS.Sdk.Versions.props), not an older Xcode-16.4-compatible one - there is no currently-published net10.0 iOS SDK pack (checked back to workload set 10.0.100, published 2025-11-11) whose _RecommendedXcodeVersion is anywhere close to 16.4, so no workload-version pin alone can satisfy macos-15's default Xcode. Per actions/runner-images' macos-15 Readme, Xcode 26.3 IS already installed on the image (just not the default) at /Applications/Xcode_26.3.app, alongside 26.0.1/26.1.1/26.2. Added a 'sudo xcode-select -s' step to explicitly select it, matching the 26.2.10233 pack's requirement, instead of installing anything extra.

… ios-maccatalyst build (#561) * docs: add AGENTS.md guidance for testing samples via workflow_dispatch Samples require platform SDKs/workloads not guaranteed to be available locally. Document the proper validation approach: push the branch to the local fork and trigger the Build Samples workflow via workflow_dispatch, then poll for results. Note that a full run across all samples takes approximately 6 minutes end-to-end, so agents can set correct timing expectations when polling. * ci: pin iOS/Mac Catalyst workload set + Xcode version for todoapp-uno ios-maccatalyst build Fixes#559. Applies the same fix as #530 (todoapp-avalonia/maui ios jobs) to todoapp-uno's ios-maccatalyst job: dotnet workload install ios maccatalyst was unpinned, resolving the newest Microsoft.iOS.Sdk pack (26.5.10284, requiring Xcode 26.5) which isn't available on macos-latest (currently Xcode 16.4). Pin runs-on to macos-15, explicitly select the already-installed Xcode 26.3, and pin the workload install to workload set 10.0.107 (resolves to Microsoft.iOS.Sdk.net10.0_26.2.10233, which requires Xcode 26.3). --------- Co-authored-by: ahall <ahall@cloudflare.com>

Summary
Fixes#529.
todoapp-avalonia / ios(and, latently,todoapp-maui / ios) calldotnet workload install ios/maui-iosunpinned, which always resolves the newest publishedMicrosoft.iOS.Sdk.net10.0_*pack. As of workload set10.0.108, that's26.5.10284, which requires Xcode 26.5 - not installed on either the macOS-15 or macOS-26 runner images currently backing themacos-latestlabel during its migration window (see actions/runner-images#14167, rollout through 2026-07-15), causing thefailure from #529. This also explains why the failure looked flaky: the same commit passed and failed
todoapp-avalonia / ios~26 minutes apart onmain/a PR run of #528, purely becausemacos-latestlanded on a different underlying image each time.What changed
Both
todoapp-avalonia / iosandtodoapp-maui / iosjobs now:runs-ontomacos-15(instead ofmacos-latest) so the Xcode version available on the runner is deterministic during themacos-latestmigration window, rather than randomly landing on macOS-15 or macOS-26.sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode_26.3.app. Xcode 26.3 is already installed on themacos-15image, just not the default (16.4).10.0.107viadotnet workload install ios/maui-ios --version 10.0.107, scoped only to that job's env/steps (not a repo-wideglobal.json).10.0.107is the last workload set before the iOS/MacCatalyst/macOS/tvOS manifest moved to the 26.4/26.5 pack line, resolving toMicrosoft.iOS.Sdk.net10.0_26.2(26.2.10233), which requires exactly Xcode 26.3 - matching step 2. It keeps other manifests (Android, MAUI) at their latest versions, so those jobs are unaffected.Why not a per-project
TargetPlatformVersion/ValidateXcodeVersionoverride, or a repo-rootglobal.json?TodoApp.Avalonia.iOS.csproj,TodoApp.MAUI.csproj, and (once #506 is resolved)TodoApp.Uno.csproj- and wouldn't protect any future mobile sample from hitting the same issue.global.jsonpinningsdk.workloadVersionwas tried first, but it forces everydotnet build/restorein the whole repo (viaMicrosoft.NET.Sdk.ImportWorkloads.props) to require that exact workload version to already be installed - even for projects with zero workload dependency. This broketodoapp-mvc,todoapp-blazor-wasm,datasync-server, etc. on a fresh runner (confirmed via a real run).dotnet workload install ... --versionscoped to just theiosjob's own steps avoids this entirely.10.0.100(2025-11-11): none currently declare an iOS_RecommendedXcodeVersionanywhere near 16.4 (they range from 26.0 through 26.5), so pinning the workload version alone isn't sufficient - the explicitxcode-selectstep is required too. This was confirmed by first testing the workload pin alone, which failed the same way against26.2.10233requiring Xcode 26.3.Validation
Ran the full
build-samples.ymlviaworkflow_dispatchon this branch twice to confirm the fix is deterministic, not a flaky pass:todoapp-avalonia / iosin 13m49s,todoapp-maui / iosin 10m29s.todoapp-avalonia / iosin 15m33s,todoapp-maui / iosin 9m44s.Both
androidjobs (unpinned, unaffected by theios-job-scoped changes) passed in both runs, confirming no regression there.todoapp-unois intentionally left untouched - it's not wired intobuild-samples.ymlyet (blocked by #506), and will need the same treatment when it's re-enabled.Follow-up
Revisit both
iosjobs once we deliberately upgrade to a newer, Xcode-26-compatible workload set (both theruns-on: macos-15pin and thexcode-selectstep are called out inline as things to revisit then).
