I am building a macOS app with an '.Framework' inside it. The '.Framework' is built using the 'Mono.framework'.
I have to bundle the necessary .dyLibs and DLLs in the app before deploying the it to the user's machine.
I am using this script in Xcode to bundle the libs. This script seems to do my job partially.
# Version and locations
MONO_VERSION=6.12.0
MONO_LOCATION=/Library/Frameworks/Mono.Framework/Versions/$MONO_VERSION
LOCATION="${BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR}"/"${FRAMEWORKS_FOLDER_PATH}"
BIN_LOCATION="${BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR}/${EXECUTABLE_FOLDER_PATH}"
RES_LOCATION="${BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR}/${CONTENTS_FOLDER_PATH}/Resources/Resources/Managed"
set -x

I am still getting the error
The assembly mscorlib.dll was not found or could not be loaded. It should have been installed in the /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/6.12.0/lib/mono/4.5/mscorlib.dll' directory
I am not sure why the 'mscorlib.dll' path is not being set.
I am not sure if I have to use mkbundle for this. This is the first time I am using the Embeddinator - 4000/Mono to build my apps. Any sort of help is appreciated.
