CNA-VGAP-008: Android and iOS have no device evidence at this snapshot: no Android workflow, one iOS simulator frame, and lifecycle and packaged-content loading untested on a device

CNA snapshot 009d40f5  ·  Known Issues › Verification gaps  ·  source links pinned to 009d40f5

Android has no preset or workflow, iOS evidence is a device final-link plus a one-frame simulator launch, lifecycle is tested only with scripted host events, and no test loads packaged content on a device.

Evidence basis

Source-verified: read at TARGET, not executed

Tests touching this area

Yes: see Current tests

Affected contract

Android and iOS as CNA targets (Game lifecycle, ContentManager with a relative root, TitleLocation)

Expected behaviour

A supported mobile target has at least one recorded device or emulator run of the snapshot covering startup, lifecycle transitions and content loading.

Actual behaviour at TARGET

No workflow or preset targets Android; devices-build.md records the APK and emulator runs of July 2026, with no retained artifacts. apple-ci.yml final-links an iOS device bundle and launches a smoke application for one frame in the simulator; no physical-device run exists, and ApplePlatform.cmake refuses tvOS, watchOS and visionOS. GameTest.MobileLifecycleEventsSuspendResumeAndTerminateTheLoop in GameTests.cpp scripts lifecycle events on the host platform; no device drives background, foreground, low memory or process recreation. apple_smoke.cpp loads no content, and nothing resolves an Apple bundle's Resources directory for ContentManager beyond TitleLocation's platform base path, which ContentManager does not consult (CNA-BUG-041).

Evidence

Checked by reading at 009d40f5; not executed.

Duplicates in part CNA-VGAP-008 (Android compile-only evidence, verified-B10); the packaged-content half is the defect CNA-BUG-041 (verified-B3). apple-ci.yml also pins a sharp-runtime revision the snapshot cannot configure against (see the Known Issues entry on pinned sharp-runtime revisions).

Independently observed as a separate finding (merged): The Devices demo's Gradle/NDK project (NDK 30.0.14904198, minSdk 24, arm64-v8a) is the only Android build definition; it sets CNA_BUILD_TESTS and CNA_BUILD_EXAMPLES OFF, and no CMake preset or workflow targets Android.

Focused reproduction

No focused reproduction is known. Nothing has been invented here; the evidence above is what exists.

Current tests

The portable lifecycle test above and the iOS simulator smoke launch.

Regression test

An Android emulator job and an iOS simulator job that start a game, cycle background/foreground, and load an .xnb, a .cnb and a loose asset from the package.

Blast radius

Every mobile-specific path: lifecycle, orientation, packaged assets, sensors on hardware.

Workaround

No workaround is known.
