4th day with Xamarin

The 3rd day of Xamarin was spent configuring MVVM, Dependency Injection and a Dialog Service in the application. Also, I had a working application for both Android and iOS.

Now, that I have a working app I would like to set up CI/CD for my Android and iOS apps.

I am going to use AppCenter to build and distribute my app. Check out video "Continuous Integration With App Center Build for Xamarin Apps" on Microsoft Developers channel.

You can create a free account on AppCenter but, it will have some restrictions. However, If you are going to use it as an Individual then it should be enough for you.

If you follow the video you should be able to create a project for both Android and iOS project.

3rd day with Xamarin

The second day with Xamarin was spent setting up the permissions and Azure build Pipeline to build the Android and iOS projects.

Today I am planning to do

• MVVM in the app 
• Setting up Dependency Injection 
• Dialog Service

MVVM

MVVM is Model-View-ViewModel and you can read about it on Microsoft website Here. It is an application pattern that allows us to build de-coupled components. I would suggest reading through the article to get a better understanding of  MVVM components before reading ahead.
