If others have a better idea on the name, basically you use this in combination with AOT and it will strip most IL that was AOT'd.

For best results, we'd turn off AndroidEnableProfiledAot by default -- so AndroidStripIL will AOT & Strip most of the IL as a good default setting.

@fanyang-mono has some example .apk sizes from a dotnet new android project:

AndroidStripIL AndroidEnableProfiledAot App size
false true 7.7M
true true 7.7M
false false 8.4M
true false 8.1M

Ok looks like there is a $(WasmStripILAfterAOT):

$(AndroidStripILAfterAOT) seems logical to align?

Changed parameter name to AndroidStripILAfterAOT


When setting it to true, the method body of the AOT compiled methods will be strip away.
By default, `AndroidStripIL` is set to false.
To maximize the impact of this feature, when setting it to true, the default value of
`AndroidEnableProfiledAot` becomes false. However, you could overwrite it by setting it to true explicitly.

Support for this property was added in .NET 8.

This <Move/> feels absurd to me: @(_ILStripTrimmedAssemblies) is an output parameter, so I would normally intuit/assume that %(_ILStripTrimmedAssemblies.Identity) is the file that was created. However, this <Move/> implies that %(_ILStripTrimmedAssemblies.Identity) has not in fact been created, and instead what was created is %(_ILStripTrimmedAssemblies.TrimmedAssemblyFileName), which must be moved to %(_ILStripTrimmedAssemblies.Identity).

Does this make sense to anyone? Why was <ILStrip/> defined this way?

The goal of ILStrip is to trim IL code away from the assemblies which were AOT'ed. However, not all AOT'ed assemblies might be trimmable. That's why we have _ILStripTrimmedAssemblies. ILStrip also doesn't overwrite existing assemblies with the trimmed ones. It is designed this way, in case %(_ILStripTrimmedAssemblies.Identity) are not the ones that you want to replace with the trimmed ones. They could be the ones which live in other directories. And ILStrip could possibly has no knowledge of that.

Here for System.Private.CoreLib.dll,
%(_ILStripTrimmedAssemblies.Identity) is <a_path>/System.Private.CoreLib.dll
%(_ILStripTrimmedAssemblies.TrimmedAssemblyFileName) is <a_path>/System.Private.CoreLib_trimmed.dll

@fanyang-mono: how does <ILStrip/> know which method bodies it can remove? I see that the <MonoAOTCompiler/> invocation was updated to add a MonoAOTCompiler.TrimmingEligibleMethodsOutputDirectory property, but how does <ILStrip/> konw about the $(IntermediateOutputPath)tokens directory?

The output _MonoAOTCompiledAssemblies from MonoAOTCompiler has a metadata MethodTokenFile. It stores the trimmable method token for the corresponding assembly.
