.NET: Add AppBundleResourcePrefix property to unify resource prefix properties #22840

Copilot · 2025-05-20T06:20:20Z

This PR unifies the various resource prefix properties (IPhoneResourcePrefix, MonoMacResourcePrefix, and XamMacResourcePrefix) into a single property (AppBundleResourcePrefix) for use in .NET projects.

The implementation:

Adds a new AppBundleResourcePrefix property in Xamarin.Shared.props with a default value of "Resources"
Updates the property precedence to use AppBundleResourcePrefix first, then fall back to the platform-specific properties
Maintains backward compatibility by having legacy properties default to the new property if they're not explicitly set
Updates comments in MSBuild files to reflect the changes
Updates documentation in build-properties.md to document the new property and add recommendations for using it instead of the legacy properties

Users can now specify a single resource prefix property that works across all platforms:

<PropertyGroup>
  <AppBundleResourcePrefix>Resources</AppBundleResourcePrefix>
</PropertyGroup>

Legacy properties will continue to work for backward compatibility, but the new property is recommended for new .NET projects.

Fixes #12808.
