ClangSharp landed the native bridges and managed API expansion needed to faithfully parse real-world C++ headers, while .NET for macOS is now Xcode 26.6 ready.

In brief

ClangSharp now bridges the C++ AST gaps. managed bindings for exprs, lambdas, types. the bindings were incomplete enough that you'd hit walls in real projects.
ClangSharp adds --with-constant-folded-value. fold initializers to clang-evaluated constants instead of leaving them unresolved. matters when you're binding C++ headers.
ClangSharp fixed the Type keyword bridge for LLVM 22. ElaboratedType removal broke the binding. one more sync cycle closer to shipping LLVM 22 support.
.NET 10 + Xcode 26.6 support landed in macios. builds work with the latest Xcode. that's the mandatory tax on shipping iOS bindings in sync with Apple's toolchain.

ClangSharp shipped three coordinated commits that complete the C++ AST surface area. The native half [1] adds libClangSharp bridges for gaps where the C API falls short, verified against clang 21.1.8 sources and requiring a rebuild. The managed layer follows immediately [2], exposing additional Expr, lambda, and type API on the high-level surface using only already-released interop. A third commit [3] introduces `--with-constant-folded-value` (short `-wcfv`), letting the generator emit clang-evaluated constants instead of translating written initializers, which fixes bindings whose initializers reference companion declarations never generated. The team also patched the Type keyword bridge for LLVM 22's ElaboratedType removal [4], dispatching over TagType, TypedefType, and five other concrete types instead. Over on macOS, .NET 10 now requires Xcode 26.6 and macOS 26.2+ (Tahoe) in a servicing release [5]. The same team hardened the build system to detect stale Mono-only properties when CoreCLR is active [6], catching confusing breakage earlier. Android made two parallel infrastructure moves: dropping the xxHash native dependency for CoreCLR typemaps in favor of CRC-32 [7], and adding AOT-safe factory helpers for trimmable type maps [8]. Both preserve runtime behavior and startup perf while reducing dependencies.

Action items

→ Rebuild ClangSharp native binaries and regenerate interop for LLVM 22 compatibility dotnet/ClangSharp [immediate]
→ Update macios projects to Xcode 26.6 and macOS 26.2+ dotnet/macios [plan]
→ Audit iOS/Android projects for stale UseMonoRuntime and xxHash dependencies dotnet/android [plan]
