Classes to preserve in link.xml for using XMLSerializer

Hello.

I'm having a bit of trouble using XMLSerializer along with stripping. Does anyone know what classes to preserve in the link.xml file?

Thanks.

 

Hey andymads,

Did you ever figure this out?

 

For future reference, below is the link.xml that enabled it to work. I also have included some extras for other assemblies we are using so some could be removed I'm sure. In Build Settings I have .NET 2.0 and Strip ByteCode. iOS build.

Code (csharp):

1. <linker>
2.   <assembly fullname="System.Configuration">
3.     <type fullname="System.Configuration.ExeConfigurationHost" preserve="all"/>
4.   </assembly>
5.  
6.  
7.   <assembly fullname="System">
8.  
9.     <type fullname="System.Net.Configuration.ConnectionManagementSection" preserve="all"/>
10.     <type fullname="System.Net.Configuration.DefaultProxySection" preserve="all"/>
11.     <type fullname="System.Net.Configuration.HttpWebRequestElement" preserve="all"/>
12.     <type fullname="System.Net.Configuration.Ipv6Element" preserve="all"/>
13.     <type fullname="System.Net.Configuration.NetSectionGroup" preserve="all"/>
14.     <type fullname="System.Net.Configuration.PerformanceCountersElement" preserve="all"/>
15.     <type fullname="System.Net.Configuration.ProxyElement" preserve="all"/>
16.     <type fullname="System.Net.Configuration.ServicePointManagerElement" preserve="all"/>
17.     <type fullname="System.Net.Configuration.SettingsSection" preserve="all"/>
18.     <type fullname="System.Net.Configuration.SocketElement" preserve="all"/>
19.        
20.     <!-- JSON.NET requirements -->
21.    <type fullname="System.ComponentModel.TypeDescriptor" preserve="all"/>
22.    <type fullname="System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter" preserve="all"/>
23.    <type fullname="System.ComponentModel.StringConverter" preserve="all"/>
24.    <type fullname="System.ComponentModel.BooleanConverter" preserve="all"/>
25.    <type fullname="System.ComponentModel.EnumConverter" preserve="all"/>
26.    <type fullname="System.ComponentModel.Int64Converter" preserve="all"/>
27.    <type fullname="System.ComponentModel.Int32Converter" preserve="all"/>
28.    <type fullname="System.ComponentModel.Int16Converter" preserve="all"/>
29.    <type fullname="System.ComponentModel.ArrayConverter" preserve="all"/>
30.    <type fullname="System.ComponentModel.CollectionConverter" preserve="all"/>
31.    <type fullname="System.ComponentModel.DecimalConverter" preserve="all"/>
32.    <type fullname="System.ComponentModel.SingleConverter" preserve="all"/>
33.    <type fullname="System.ComponentModel.DoubleConverter" preserve="all"/>
34.    <type fullname="System.ComponentModel.TimeSpanConverter" preserve="all"/>
35.        
36.     <!-- XMLSerilizer -->
37.    <type fullname="System.Diagnostics" preserve="all"/>
38.    <type fullname="System.Diagnostics.DiagnosticsConfigurationHandler" preserve="all"/>
39.    
40.       </assembly>
41.    
42.     <!-- XMLSerilizer -->
43. <assembly fullname="System.Xml">
44.     <type fullname="System.Xml" preserve="all"/>
45.     <type fullname="System.Xml.Serialization" preserve="all"/>
46.     <type fullname="System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer" preserve="all"/>        
47.   </assembly>
48.  
49. </linker>

 

I didn't. So thanks for your post.
