[TrimmableTypeMap] Generate the typemap before the NativeAOT inner build so the IDE Compile→Sign flow works

[simonrozsival]

Summary

The NativeAOT trimmable typemap (the generated Java ↔ .NET type map) is consumed by the inner per-RID ILC build — via _AddTrimmableTypeMapAssembliesToIlc → _ReadGeneratedTrimmableTypeMapAssemblies — which reads the generated assembly list at obj/.../typemap/typemap-assemblies.txt. The inner build cannot generate that list: _GenerateTrimmableTypeMap is gated to the outer build ('$(_OuterIntermediateOutputPath)' == '').

_GenerateTrimmableTypeMap's only trigger is AfterTargets="CoreCompile". That hook does not fire when compilation is already up-to-date — which is exactly what happens in the IDE's split build, where Visual Studio (BuildingInsideVisualStudio=true) runs Compile and SignAndroidPackage as two separate MSBuild invocations. During the SignAndroidPackage call the C# is already compiled, so CoreCompile is skipped, the typemap is never generated, and the inner ILC build fails with:

Trimmable typemap assembly list '.../typemap/typemap-assemblies.txt' was not found

A regular command-line Build works because all targets run in one continuous invocation; only the IDE Compile→Sign sequence hits this. Reproduced by the DesignTimeBuildSignAndroidPackage(NativeAOT) test.

Fixes#11775.

Fix

Add a target that forces the typemap to be generated in the outer build before _ResolveAssemblies spawns the inner per-RID ILC build:

<TargetName="_EnsureTrimmableTypeMapGeneratedForNativeAotInnerBuild"Condition=" '$(RuntimeIdentifier)' == '' "BeforeTargets="_ResolveAssemblies"DependsOnTargets="_GenerateTrimmableTypeMap" />

Instead of relying on the fragile AfterTargets="CoreCompile" hook, generation is anchored to _ResolveAssemblies, which always runs before the inner build and runs after compilation (it consumes @(IntermediateAssembly)), so the generator still observes the compiled app assembly. This mirrors the CoreCLR _AddTrimmableTypeMapToLinker target, which forces generation before the (outer) ILLink.

Risk

Low and well-scoped: the new target is conditioned to the outer build (RuntimeIdentifier == '') and lives in the NativeAOT trimmable targets file; it only ensures an already-required step has run. No effect on CoreCLR, managed, or MonoVM paths.

Testing

Verified locally: DesignTimeBuildSignAndroidPackage(NativeAOT) now passes (was failing); DesignTimeBuildSignAndroidPackage(CoreCLR) continues to pass.

Sliced out of #11617 for focused review.

Pull request overview

Ensures the NativeAOT trimmable typemap is generated early enough in the outer build so that IDE “Compile → SignAndroidPackage” (separate MSBuild invocations) doesn’t fail when CoreCompile is skipped and the typemap assembly list hasn’t been produced yet.

Changes:

• Adds a NativeAOT-specific target to force _GenerateTrimmableTypeMap to run before _ResolveAssemblies triggers inner per-RID work.
• Documents why the new ordering is needed (IDE split build vs single-invocation CLI build).

Good catch — fixed in e68ee2c. The target now gates on '$(_OuterIntermediateOutputPath)' == '' (the same discriminator _GenerateTrimmableTypeMap itself uses) instead of RuntimeIdentifier == '', so single-RID outer builds (e.g. -p:RuntimeIdentifier=android-arm64) are covered too. The inner build sets _OuterIntermediateOutputPath via _ResolveAssemblies AdditionalProperties, so the target is still correctly skipped there. Verified locally: DesignTimeBuildSignAndroidPackage(NativeAOT) and (CoreCLR) both pass.
