assembly	`File`	The path to the main assembly.	True
todir	`Directory`	The destination directory.	True
target-os	`MacOSVersion`	The target OS version. Valid values are `MacOS105`, `MacOS106`, `MacOS107` or `MacOS108`.	True

Nested Elements

search-in

This element has the structure than the fileset. They are folders where to locate assemblies when resolving dependencies.

include-assembly

These element indicate the additionnal assemblies to embed. This could be plugins or assemblies loaded at runtime.

exclude-assembly

These element indicate the assemblies to exclude from embedding. This is useful when license prevents the embedding.

include-library

These element indicate the additionnal native library to copy. The libraries will be relocated in such way that they can be bundle along with the native executable.

Usage

Typical usage:

<embed-app name="${app.name}"
    assembly="${build.dir}/${app.name}.exe"
    todir="${build.dir}"
    target-os="MacOS106"
    target-architecture="X86"
    machine-configuration="/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Home/etc/mono/4.0/machine.config">
    <search-in basedir="${pkg-config::get-variable('monobjc-10.6', 'pkglibdir')}"/>
</embed-app>
