Xamarin.Mac interface definition for SupportsSecureCoding (on INSSecureCoding)

[bradumbaugh]

Steps to Reproduce

1. Implement INSSecureCoding interface
2. Expect a binding for required protocol method @property(class, readonly) BOOL supportsSecureCoding;
3. Interface does not contain method

Expected Behavior

Binding exists.

Actual Behavior

Binding does not exist. Must manually export:

[Export("supportsSecureCoding")]
public static bool SupportsSecureCoding => true;

I assume you're talking about: !missing-selector! +NSURLRequest::supportsSecureCoding not bound

[bradumbaugh]

Hey @VincentDondain, no, not NSURLRequest-specific... I'm referring to this:

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/nssecurecoding/1855946-supportssecurecoding?language=objc

[spouliot]

@bradumbaugh it's not possible to have static members (or .ctor) inside a .net interface. In such (not very common) cases you, as the subclasser / conforming type author, need to expose it manually (just like you wrote).

[bradumbaugh]

Oh, certainly – makes sense. Thanks @spouliot.
