Summary

Two related Hot Reload improvements:

  1. Parameterize DotNetWatchHotReload test for both MonoVM and CoreCLR runtimes instead of hardcoding MonoVM.

  2. Remove the RuntimeHostConfigurationOption workaround for STARTUP_HOOKS in HotReload.targets. This workaround was needed because Mono was not reading DOTNET_STARTUP_HOOKS from the environment. The upstream fix is now included in our pinned dotnet/dotnet:

…TARTUP_HOOKS workaround

Parameterize the `DotNetWatchHotReload` device test for both MonoVM and
CoreCLR runtimes instead of hardcoding MonoVM.

Remove the `RuntimeHostConfigurationOption` workaround for `STARTUP_HOOKS`
in `HotReload.targets` that was needed because Mono was not reading
`DOTNET_STARTUP_HOOKS` from the environment. This was fixed upstream in
dotnet/runtime:
dotnet/runtime@c8e2a61

The fix is included in our pinned dotnet/dotnet at:
dotnet/dotnet@ab01524

Pull request overview

This PR updates Hot Reload support to align with recent upstream runtime behavior and broadens device integration coverage across runtimes.

Changes:

  • Parameterizes the DotNetWatchHotReload MSBuild device integration test to run for both AndroidRuntime.MonoVM and AndroidRuntime.CoreCLR.
  • Removes the Mono-specific RuntimeHostConfigurationOption (STARTUP_HOOKS) workaround from Microsoft.Android.Sdk.HotReload.targets, relying on the runtime fix for DOTNET_STARTUP_HOOKS.
