2nd day with Xamarin

The first day with Xamarin I able to create a new Xamarin app and integrated google maps and able to run it in the simulator.

If you read the previous post. I did make it work on the simulator using the Plugin.Permissions. However, when I ran the application in the simulator it did work but I did not see any messages requesting for access permissions.

So, I am going to try to run the app on the device and see what happens.

The device I am going to use is Moto X running Android version 6.0.1. I am not gonna bore you with how to setup the device as you may not be going to use the same device. Just the basic stuff you need

• USB drivers for the device
• A USB cable with data pins. Normal charging cables won't work.
• Put the device in the debug mode.

1st day with Xamarin

I started to create an app in Xamarin as I have been reading creating-mobile-apps-xamarin-forms by Microsoft. As a beginner, I can say that it has taught me well.

Today I thought to try and spin up a simple app using Xamarin Forms. Let's start from the start I will be putting up all the issues, bus, Environment Setup steps I had to do while doing it.

Let’s get started.

Few conventions

• #: Issue faced and resolution

First I would suggest going through my friend Kael's blogs to get you started with the Android SDK setup. Few things which are important for Simulator.
