Xamarin is a leading cross-platform application development tool used by top companies such as Coca-Cola, Honeywell, and Alaska Airlines to build apps. Version 4 features significant updates to the platform including the release of Xamarin.Forms 2.0 and improvements have been made to the iOS and Android designers. Xamarin was acquired by Microsoft so it is now a part of the Visual Studio family.
This book will show you how to build applications for iOS, Android, and Windows. You will be walked through the process of creating an application that comes complete with a back-end web service and native features such as GPS location, camera, push notifications, and other core features. Additionally, youll learn how to use external libraries with Xamarin and Xamarin.Forms to create user interfaces. This book also provides instructions for Visual Studio and Windows.
This edition has been updated with new screenshots and detailed steps to provide you with a holistic overview of the new features in Xamarin 4.
What you will learn- * Apples MVC design pattern
- * The Android activity lifecycle
- * Share C# code across platforms and call native Objective-C or Java libraries from C#
- * Create a real web service back end in Windows Azure using SQL Azure as database storage
- * Set up third-party libraries such as NuGet and Objective Sharpie in many different ways, and port a desktop .NET library to Xamarin
- * Use Xamarin.Mobile for camera, contacts, and location

Xamarin has built great products for developing iOS and Android applications in C#: Xamarin Studio, an addin for Visual Studio, Xamarin.iOS, and Xamarin.Android. Xamarin gives you direct access to the native APIs on each platform and the flexibility of sharing C# code. Using Xamarin and C#, you get better productivity when compared to Java or Objective-C, and still retain great performance compared to an HTML or JavaScript solution.
In this book, we will develop a real-world sample application to demonstrate what you can do with Xamarin technologies, and build on core platform concepts for iOS and Android. We will also cover advanced topics such as push notifications, retrieving contacts, using the camera, and GPS location. With Xamarin 3, a new framework was introduced called Xamarin.Forms. We will cover the basics of Xamarin.Forms and how you can apply it to cross-platform development. Finally, we will walkthrough what it takes to submit your application to the Apple App Store and Google Play.
, Xamarin Setup , is a guide for installing the appropriate Xamarin software and native SDKs for doing cross-platform development. Directs Windows users on how to connect to a Mac on their local network for doing iOS development in Visual Studio.
, Hello, Platforms! , is a walkthrough of creating a simple calculator application on iOS and Android, which also covers some basic concepts on each platform.
, Code Sharing between iOS and Android , is an introduction of code sharing techniques and project setup strategies that can be used with Xamarin.
, XamSnap - A Cross-Platform App , is an introduction to a sample application we will be building throughout the book. In this chapter we will write all the shared code for the application complete with unit tests.
, XamSnap for iOS , shows us how to implement the iOS user interface for XamSnap and cover various iOS development concepts.
