How to get path to obj folder from type provider?

See original GitHub issue

I am interested in fix Xamarin.Android.FSharp.ResourceProvider for .Net 6.

Xamarin.Android uses code generation to access any resources (e.g. images, styles and other). It generates Resource.designer.cs file.

Xamarin.Android.FSharp.ResourceProvider compiles Resources.designer.cs file into assembly to give access to resources from F# code.

Since .Net 6 this file moved from ./Resources/Resource.designer.cs to ./obj/Debug/net6.0-android/Resource.designer.cs. I have no idea how to correctly new Resource.designer.cs path from type provider considering that path may be specified in IntermediateOutputPath variable.

We are hopefully going to change direction with regards to the Resource.designer.cs in Xamarin.Android. See https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-android/pull/6427 and https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-android/issues/6310.

We are hopeful that by generating a designer assembly (which is just IL ) this will remove the need for the Type Provider.

In the mean time for .net 6 you might be able to set AndroidUseIntermediateDesignerFile to False in your csproj. We turned this on by default for .net 6. But if you want the old behaviour and use ‘Resources/Resource.designer.cs’ you can set this property to False and it should work as before

<AndroidResgenFile>Resources\Resource.designer.cs</AndroidResgenFile>
<AndroidUseIntermediateDesignerFile>False</AndroidUseIntermediateDesignerFile>

Closing as the TPSDK doesn’t have any specific functionality related to finding the ‘obj’ directory
