System.Drawing Dependency issue on Apple Silicon M1

There is a closed issue here but not works for EEPlus v5.8.4 + M1 + VS 2022 for Mac.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

As EPPlus is currently depending on System.Drawing.Common, so we likely have the same issue. However, we are currently working on replacing System.Drawing.Common with a native solution for text measuring and images. It will also have a fall back on SkiaSharp or System.Drawing.Common. We hope we can release it in the next version (available in a month or two).

You can try
"System.Drawing.EnableUnixSupport": true
From here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/compatibility/core-libraries/6.0/system-drawing-common-windows-only
Or add a nuget package:

The solutions above seem to work fine using x86-version .NET 6 SDK but not the latest arm-version.

I put a runtimeconfig.template.json with the configuration to set up "System.Drawing.EnableUnixSupport": true. But it does not work.

Have you installed libgdiplus? If I understand correctly nuget just gives the location of it: s://github.com/CoreCompat/libgdiplus-packaging/blob/master/runtime.osx.10.10-x64.CoreCompat.System.Drawing/runtime.osx.10.10-x64.CoreCompat.System.Drawing.csproj

[cigoic]

Yes. I have the following items installed on my M1 mbp:

• brew install dotnet-sdk mono-libgdiplus
• .NET 6 ARM-based SDK 6.0.101 [/usr/local/share/dotnet/sdk]
• NuGet Packages: EPPlus v5.8.5
• NuGet Packages: runtime.osx.10.10-x64.CoreCompat.System.Drawing v6.0.5.128

I tried the same code with VS 2019 for Mac (x86-based .NET SDK) and it works fine.

But it will not work under VS 2022 for Mac Preview (arm-based .NET 6 SDK) with/without runtime.osx.10.10-x64.CoreCompat.System.Drawing installed.

Adding the runtimeconfig.template.json does not change anything in my case, unfortunately.

@cigoic, @SymbioticKilla - You should try latest EPPlus 6.0.1-beta available on Nuget. It will work without the dependency on libgdiplus. See https://www.epplussoftware.com/en/Developers/EPPlus6

[JanKallman]

This should now work with version 6.0.3

[argentini]

@JanKallman nope, not even with 6.0.5

Try install nuget package Curiosity.runtime.osx.10.10-arm64.CoreCompat.System
