This package links Avalonia's graphics/native dependencies from static archives so NativeAOT publish output does not need the usual SkiaSharp, HarfBuzzSharp, ANGLE, or AvaloniaNative runtime files next to the executable.

Repository: https://github.com/greepar/StaticLink.Avalonia

Supported RIDs

win-x64
win-arm64
linux-x64
linux-arm64
osx-x64
osx-arm64

Install

dotnet add package StaticLink.Avalonia

For fully static macOS output, also reference the AvaloniaNative package that matches your Avalonia version:

dotnet add package 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, for example linux-x64, linux-arm64, osx-arm64, or osx-x64.

For Linux, lld is recommended:

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

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

.With(new AvaloniaNativePlatformOptions
{
    RenderingMode = [AvaloniaNativeRenderingMode.OpenGl, AvaloniaNativeRenderingMode.Software]
})

Notes

The package is intended for Avalonia 11.3.x NativeAOT apps.
StaticLink.Avalonia.Native is version-specific because libAvaloniaNative.a must match Avalonia's native ABI.
The CI builds and smoke-publishes all six supported RIDs.
macOS smoke tests run the published app on GitHub Actions and require it to stay alive for 15 seconds.
Other native dependencies used by your app, such as SQLite or audio libraries, are outside this package's scope.
