Test code: https://github.com/rolfbjarne/xamarin-macios/blob/c8014a6b6fd759159b409df19062f11b57ae8e2c/tests/dotnet/MySimpleApp/AppDelegate.cs#L21-L187

To reproduce:

1. Download & install Xcode 13 beta 3.

2. Clone my fork of xamarin-macios, and checkout the Bug1820_GenericList-testcase branch, and build it:

    git clone https://github.com/rolfbjarne/xamarin-macios
    git checkout Bug1820_GenericList-testcase
    cd xamarin-macios
    ./configure --enable-dotnet --enable-xamarin
    make reset
    make all -j8
    make install -j8
   

3. Connect an iOS device

4. Build & run the test project:

    make -C tests/dotnet/MySimpleApp/iOS run-dev
   

Configuration

6.0.100-rc.1.21377.4

Regression?

With regards to legacy Xamarin, yes.

@MaximLipnin We probably want to set ReflectionOnly as a default for iOS, tvOS, and MacCatalyst.

runtime/src/libraries/System.Private.Xml/src/System/Xml/Serialization/XmlSerializer.cs

Line 112 in 8b87ada

internal static SerializationMode Mode { get; set; } = SerializationMode.ReflectionAsBackup;

This looks similar to #47114 (comment) (make the serialization mode dependent on RuntimeFeature.IsDynamicCodeSupported).
