What are you seeing?

Running builds for (AndroidX and GooglePlayServices-Firebase-MLKit) both locally and on CI with Cake 2.3.0 there is an error.

Stripped for search:

Error: Bad IL format. 
The format of the file 
    'tools/Addins/runtime.osx.10.10-x64.runtime.native.System.Security.Cryptography.Apple.4.3.0/runtimes/osx.10.10-x64/native/System.Security.Cryptography.Native.Apple.dylib' 
is invalid. 
An error occurred when executing task Error: .NET CLI: 
Process returned an error (exit code 1)

from CI server:

Error: Bad IL format. 
The format of the file 
    '/Users/runner/work/1/s/tools/Addins/runtime.osx.10.10-x64.runtime.native.System.Security.Cryptography.Apple.4.3.0/runtimes/osx.10.10-x64/native/System.Security.Cryptography.Native.Apple.dylib' 
is invalid. 
An error occurred when executing task Error: .NET CLI: Process returned an error (exit code 1)

What is expected?

correct build

Steps to Reproduce

1. install or update Cake.Tool to 2.3.0
2. clone AndroidX or GooglePlayServices-Firebase-MLKit
   • https://github.com/xamarin/AndroidX
   • https://github.com/xamarin/GooglePlayServicesComponents
3. run builds

   dotnet cake -t=clean && dotnet cake -t=ci 
   

ping me in the comments if you need scripts to repro (installing, cloning, building)

Output log

too long

error I get on MacOSX Ventura:

Error: Bad IL format. The format of the file './tools/Addins/runtime.osx.10.10-x64.runtime.native.System.Security.Cryptography.Apple.4.3.0/runtimes/osx.10.10-x64/native/System.Security.Cryptography.Native.Apple.dylib' is invalid.
An error occurred when executing task 'tools-executive-order'.
Error: .NET CLI: Process returned an error (exit code 1).

cake version:

dotnet cake --version
3.0.0

Looks like some transitive dependencies cause this.

quite old packages:

https://www.nuget.org/packages/runtime.native.System.Security.Cryptography.Apple/4.3.0

https://www.nuget.org/packages/runtime.osx.10.10-x64.runtime.native.System.Security.Cryptography.Apple/4.3.0

Commands that should repro (with cake 3.0 installed):

git clone --recursive https://github.com/xamarin/GooglePlayServicesComponents.git
cd GooglePlayServicesComponents/
dotnet tool uninstall --global Cake.Tool && dotnet tool install --global Cake.Tool --version 3.0.0
dotnet cake -t=ci && dotnet cake utilities.cake -t=tools-executive-order

Thanks @moljac. If I understand correctly, these builds seem to work fine on Cake v2.2.0 but break on v2.3.0

Well right now I get it with cake 3.0, so I downgrade to 2.3.0.

Any chance you can get a repro of one of these repos running on GitHub Actions?

I can try.

I gave it a shot on https://github.com/augustoproiete-repros/repro-cake-build-issue-3996-bad-il-format but the build seems to be stuck for hours - I’m probably missing something there

Yeah those are looong builds. AX 45 minutes to 1 hour and GPS-FB-MLKit 1.5-2 hrs.

I will try to use 3.0.0 and see if I can repro something.
