Sharpie 26.4.0.212

We're excited to announce the second preview release of a major upgrade to Objective-Sharpie!

Main changes

• Open source
• Shipped as a .NET tool
• Updated to use a much newer version of Clang (21), which also means it's possible to use the latest versions of Xcode.
• Updated to use ClangSharp instead of a custom clang integration.

Our documentation has been updated as well: https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/maui/ios/objective-sharpie/

Installation

Install like this:

$ dotnet tool install -g Sharpie.Bind.Tool
You can invoke the tool using the following command: sharpie
Tool 'sharpie.bind.tool' (version '26.4.0.212') was successfully installed.

or update like this:

$ dotnet tool update -g Sharpie.Bind.Tool
Tool 'sharpie.bind.tool' was successfully updated from version '26.3.0.11' to version '26.4.0.212'.

Important

If the old sharpie is still installed, it might be found when executing sharpie:

$ sharpie --version
3.5.126-e5d8c166 # this is the old sharpie

sharpie --version
dotnet-sharpie 26.4.0.212 # this is the new sharpie

Running this should make the new sharpie take precedence (this won't actually uninstall the old sharpie, just remove the convenience script in "/usr/local/bin/sharpie"):

$ sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/sharpie

Usage

Use it to bind a framework like this:

$ sharpie bind --framework path/to/my.framework --output output-directory
