Support for Func and Action delegate on Iphone micro mscorlib?
Does iOS micro mscorlib support Func<T> and Action<T> delegates? This would be very important to know for a possible different implementation of HOTween.
I already checked the manual and the basic delegate functions seem to be supported on all stripping levels but Func<T> and Action<T> are not explicitly mentioned.
Unfortunately I don't have a Mac nor an Iphone Pro license so I would be grateful if someone could tell me :)
I don't know specifically, but I would guess that they're supported. $$anonymous$$ost of what's cut out is from System.dll -- you can see some more info on the distinction here.
I have noticed that iOS builds sometimes have trouble using enums in generics (especially when those generics rely on other generics). Not strictly related to your question, but seems worth a mention.
Found the location of the micro mscorlib:
Unity\Editor\Data\Mono\lib\mono\micro\mscorlib.dll
Action<T> is in that library but Func<T> is not (its in System.Core). A quick fix for that is to define the generic Func delegate yourself:
public delegate T Func<T>();
The only issue left is that Mono might have troubles building the full AOT for some generic classes (see Limitation: Generic Interface Instantiation). Maybe its even possible to test build your with --aot=full without Unity if you have the code in a separate dll but I didn't get this to work yet.

Why isn't important stuff like that documented in the manual?
Good to know, that.
I've been frustrated a few times with topics like this. Unity has plenty of beginner-level documentation, but not much past that seems to be readily available.
