Fixes: dotnet#7249 Context: dotnet/runtime#71203 Context: dotnet/runtime#60639 Context: dotnet/runtime#61685 Mono introduced a new `marshal-ilgen` component in dotnet/runtime@de32c446 which needs to be used when *non-blittable type* is required. `string` marshaling is a form of non-blittable marshaling. Eventually the idea is that assemblies should migrate to use the [`DllImport Generator`][0] for non-blittable marshaling purposes, then [`[assembly:DisableRuntimeMarshallingAttribute]`][1] can be applied to the assembly, and -- if no assemblies in an Android app require non-blittable marshaling -- then the `marshal-ilgen` component can be omitted from the `.apk`, reducing app size. That's a fair number of `if`s; this won't be happening soon. In the meantime, we need to start including the `marshal-ilgen` component in all .NET 7 RC1+ builds so that our existing `DllImport` declarations continue to work. Update `@(_MonoComponent)` to add `marshal-ilgen`. In order to facilitate future testing, allow the `marshal-ilgen` component to be *excluded* if the `$(_AndroidExcludeMarshalIlgenComponent)` property is True.

Mono introduced a new
marshal-ilgencomponent indotnet/runtime@de32c446 which needs to be used when
non-blittable type is required.
stringmarshaling is a form of non-blittable marshaling.Eventually the idea is that assemblies should migrate to use the
DllImport Generatorfor non-blittable marshaling purposes,then
[assembly:DisableRuntimeMarshallingAttribute]can beapplied to the assembly, and -- if no assemblies in an Android app
require non-blittable marshaling -- then the
marshal-ilgencomponent can be omitted from the
.apk, reducing app size.That's a fair number of
ifs; this won't be happening soon.In the meantime, we need to start including the
marshal-ilgencomponent in all .NET 7 RC1+ builds so that our existing
DllImportdeclarations continue to work.
Update
@(_MonoComponent)to addmarshal-ilgen.In order to facilitate future testing, allow the
marshal-ilgencomponent to be excluded if the
$(_AndroidExcludeMarshalIlgenComponent)property is True.
