`AddBindingsToCompile` is sometimes not run, breaking `_GenerateCompileDependencyCache` and incremental builds

[Youssef1313]

Android application type

.NET Android (net7.0-android, net8.0-android, etc.)

Affected platform version

MSBuild 17.7

Description

msbuild.zip

In the above binlog, see the build for Uno.UI.BindingHelper.Android.netcoremobile.csproj (ID 1387).

Here, some generated files (e.g, Java.Interop.__TypeRegistrations) aren't included in the hash.

And, for some reason, ResolveReferences is run, but GenerateBindings and AddBindingsToCompile are not.

@dellis1972 Do you think this is related to #8706 ? The version I'm running on doesn't seem to have this fix.

[dellis1972]

Probably, the issue is probably that the .cs files in the generated folder are missing, so they never get included.

[Youssef1313]

@dellis1972 Assuming that PR fixes it, could it be backported?

and which .NET 8 SDK contains the fix (if released already)?

[dellis1972]

Looks like its been back ported to 8.0.2 via 20d9605. Note sure the release date for 8.0.2 though.

[Youssef1313]

Regarding backporting, I meant to 7.x, if possible

[dellis1972]

I don't think we can, according to https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/platform/support/policy/dotnet-core. 7 is going out of support in a month.

Seems like this is fixed in supported versions (.NET 8+).
