Anyone using Xamarin product with Runtime SDK?

EricDaniel — Tue, 26 Feb 2013 04:12:00 GMT

Xamarin seems to possibly have the best cross-platform development tools allowing the ability to reuse the same C# code across iOS, Android, Windows Phone, and Windows RT and still utilize native UI tools for each platform. I'm curious if anyone has any experience utilizing the Xamarin SDK with the ArcGIS Runtime? And if so have you had any issues or concerns with using the product?

Looks it's a pretty popular idea on the ideas.arcgis.com site with a combined of 3 related posts with a combined points total of 170 points.

Yes you can use Monotouch with the ArcGIS Runtime SDK for iOS. This thread tells you how: http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/52902-ArcGIS-Mobile-iOS-and-monotouch?highlight=monotouch

Hope this helps

Thanks Al. From your experience with the the Xamarin/MonoTouch product do you see any negatives or issues with using it vs. Objective C?

Hello,

I am starting to attempt this right now, but fairly new to iOS development. Does anyone have success with binding the current Runtime SDK (10.1.1 / 10.2) ?

Minor differences on inspection: it appears that with the new runtime there is no library (.a) file, but there is a large ~500Mb file in the SDK install directory, and ArcGIS now appears to be accessed as a framework (?)

I will gladly post any successful results and samples. Collaborators Help!

Regards,
Vernon
