Xamarin Forms - Lack of Restricted Segment in iOS binary

Question

A security issue has been marked by cwe : https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/693.html

The solution in xcode is: "Mark a binary as restricted is by telling the linker to add new section to the binary header that is named "_RESTRICT" and has a section named "_restrict" when you compile it. This can be done in Xcode by adding the following flags into your "Other Linker Flags" : "-Wl,-sectcreate,_RESTRICT,_restrict,/dev/null" "

How Can This be achieved in Xamarin Forms?

Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

You could right click your iOS project , select Properties, go to iOS Build, add the flags to Additional mtouch arhuments which means Other Linker Flags setting in Xcode.
