Support win-arm64 runtime for Native AOT

[andrew-kulikov]

Problem Statement

Sentry v5.0.1 contains sentry-native library compiled for win-x64, linux-x64 and osx. In .NET 8 Microsoft officially shipped win-arm64 support for Native AOT. If possible, it would be great to have this runtime support in Sentry as well.

Use cases: WinUI 3 and UWP apps

Hi @andrew-kulikov,

Currently we rely on GitHub for all of our testing so we'd need a Win Arm64 runner to be available before we could support this.

Windows ARM64 runners are now available: github/roadmap#1098

I made a PR earlier this week but we hit some issues. We'll take a look perhaps once musl linux is done.

maybe something @jpnurmi can help as he's turning out to be the expert in getting this to run on all platforms 😅

[bruno-garcia]

We should definitely add to the docs these capabilities once it lands. As it's quite a bit of work and special support and we should make it clear to folks we support it.

The windows-11-arm image still has some rough edges, but it might already be good enough for sentry-dotnet's native build with the inproc backend.

The problems that blocked sentry-native from adding a windows-11-arm CI job were a) missing Rust (dev dependency for integration tests) and b) OpenSSL with wrong x64 arch (dependency for crashpad), but neither of those is needed for sentry-dotnet.

Perhaps once local scopes and musl are out there, supporting native in running on Windows ARM is a good next step?

[bruno-garcia]

The .NET SDK itself builds on Windows arm64:

• build on windows-11-arm #4187

But we need to figure out the build on the native SDK which is a dependency on Native AOT support (for errors outside the .NET runtime itself)

This was resolved on version 5.8.0
