Support Windows ARM64 #36699
Description
Activity
I couldn't figure out the best area label to add to this issue. Please help me learn by adding exactly one area label.
Hi!
I would like to request Windows IoT Enterprise to gain .NET5 support on Windows ARM64 (including Windows Forms, WPF, ..).
Reacted by yinyue200Thanks Joel for referring to this issue :) I didn't know this existed.
@richlander ; It is not clear when to expect ASP.NET Core support on Windows ARM64.
The description says "The .NET 5.0 Preview 4 SDK supports building and running ASP.NET Core and Console apps." however .NET 5 preview 6 as well as 7 renders the following message upon building an ASP.NET Core application:
C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\5.0.100-preview.6.20318.15\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk\targets\Microsoft.NET.Sdk.FrameworkReferenceResolution.targets(376,5): error NETSDK1082: There was no runtime pack for Microsoft.AspNetCore.App available for the specified RuntimeIdentifier 'win-arm64'.#36699 seems to be in line with what I am expecting but it would be nice to know which preview it is scheduled for! Thanks :)
Closing as we have completed this for 5.0.
@richlander anything left here - can we close it now?
There are still no MSI installers available for Arm64. Is there a separate tracking issue for those? What is the plan to deliver the installers? Thanks!
@dsplaisted @dagood can one of you answer that question?

We pushed some fixes to the website yesterday and now we have the ARM64 entry for Windows runtime as well.

@joeloff it seems to me there is no longer value in having this meta-issue open. It's purpose was for the community to see what was going on during the cycle. You have individual issues for the work you mention, right? If you confirm that we can close this.
@tommcdon can you update with any remaining work needed for this to be complete in 5.0?

- Windows ARM64 SDK MSI: Finalize ARM64 support (Installers, publishing-rid, revert winforms support) installer#8470
Shall we close this in favor of dotnet/installer#8470?

Closing this issue as we have a pending PR that completes .NET 5.0 for Windows ARM64 support.
Reacted by Dan Moseley, Alovchin91, Jacques Eloff and Dennis AmelingIs there a tracking issue for WPF on Arm64 and adding back the Desktop Pack support? Would be nice to have links in the original post.

on Dec 9, 2020 dotnet/wpf#4048 is a recent pull request pointing at a few other ARM64 related issues. We are aiming to have WPF ARM64 support in the upcoming .NET6 Preview1.
Here is a tracking issue: dotnet/installer#8905.
Support Windows ARM64
We are in the process of adding support for Windows ARM64 as part of the .NET 5.0 project. As a result, you will be able to run Windows Forms, WPF and ASP.NET Core apps on Windows ARM64 devices, such as the Surface Pro X.
We intend to support the same .NET capabilities on ARM64 as on x64. Related: #35853
This project follows a similar effort to add Console and ASP.NET Core support for Linux ARM64.
The .NET 5.0 Preview 4 SDK supports building and running ASP.NET Core and Console apps.
You can install
masterbranch builds if you would like want to test Windows Forms on ARM64.masterbranch builds do not yet include WPF support for ARM64.Remaining .NET 5 Work
Post .NET 5 Work
Timeline
The following timeline is for .NET 5.0 and Windows ARM64:
After this project is complete, the Windows ARM64 SDK will have functional parity with x64.
Examples
The following image demonstrate the Conway's Game of life VB sample running on Windows ARM64.
The following demonstrates displaying version information in a Windows Forms app on ARM64.
The following image demonstrates 32-bit x86 Windows PowerShell 5.1 running emulated (on .NET Framework 4.8), and 64-bit ARM64 PowerShell 7.1 running natively (on .NET 5.0) on Windows ARM64.
See PowerShell/PowerShell to download the Windows ARM64 version. You can also install the PowerShell .NET tool on Windows ARM64.
See versioninfo for APIs that you can use to get version and architecture information.
