StaticLink.Avalonia

Static native libraries for Avalonia single-file NativeAOT publishing.

Install

dotnet add package StaticLink.Avalonia

Or add it manually:

<PackageReference Include="StaticLink.Avalonia" Version="3.119.2-7151.12" />

3.119.2-7151.12 supports Avalonia 11. If you need the SkiaSharp 2 line for an Avalonia 11 project, use this optional package variant:

<PackageReference Include="StaticLink.Avalonia" Version="2.88.9-7151.10" />

2.88.9-7151.10 is only for Avalonia 11 projects that specifically want SkiaSharp 2.

For macOS, also reference StaticLink.Avalonia.Native. This package is macOS-only and must match your Avalonia version because it contains libAvaloniaNative.a.

<PackageReference Include="StaticLink.Avalonia.Native" Version="11.3.14.1" />

Publish

dotnet publish -c Release -r win-x64 \
  -p:PublishAot=true \
  -p:SelfContained=true \
  -p:PublishSingleFile=true \
  -p:StripSymbols=true

Use the RID you need, such as win-x86, linux-x64, linux-arm64, osx-arm64, or osx-x64.

For macOS, avoid the Metal renderer for fully static output. Use OpenGL or Software.

Native Package Automation

.github/workflows/nuget-avalonia-native.yml runs daily and checks the latest stable Avalonia version on NuGet.org. If StaticLink.Avalonia.Native.<AvaloniaVersion>.1 does not exist, it builds both macOS architectures from the matching Avalonia source tag, runs NativeAOT smoke tests, and publishes the package with NuGet Trusted Publishing.

Configure NuGet.org Trusted Publishing for this repository and the nuget-avalonia-native.yml workflow, then add the NuGet.org account name as the repository variable NUGET_USER. No long-lived NuGet API key is used by this workflow.
