Is their any way to use mongodb stitch as backend for Xamarin Application?
Currently there are JavaScript, iOS (Swift), and Android (Java) SDKs to connect to Stitch. We've also open sourced our SDKs here, so there is the opportunity to build on what we've done as well. While there isn't a C# SDK for working with Xamarin at the moment, we have plans to investigate this later and are happy to help anyone interested in contributing.

Would it be advisable to some how integrate NodeJs with a Kotlin project to use Stream.io Feed API? From what I understand there currently isn't any support for Kotlin/Android regarding the Feed capability. I currently have an iOS app that uses Stream and would like to connect my Android users to the community also. If this isn't the right way to thin about this, is there a better way to go about this?
https://github.com/getstream/stream-java provides java integration for feeds. See its io.getstream.cloud package to leverage it in android.
Later this year, more modern and android specific SDK will be developed too.
What is the current state of flutter for web in performance, specially on mobile?
And can flutter run Nodejs code?
I am fairly new to web development and was looking for a quick solution to compile my flutter apps to Web.
I am using Firebase too, so not sure if I need Nodejs right now, but its good to know if flutter supports server side programming so if I changed the backend later.
Thanks!
I am new to Xamarin development. And, currently I want to integrate the zendesk chat.
As per my RnD and after contacting Zendesk support center they are not supporting the xamarin yet.
Currently they have sdk for native android and ios respectively.
I need you expertize people's guidelines for the development regarding what scenario i should follow to achieve the same using xamarin.forms :
Integrate the both platforms native sdk's for xamarin in each platform and later call it from Xamarin.Forms by adding platform dependency using Device.OnPlatforms . ( I am not sure about this scenario, please suggest)
Create a jar/aar of Zendesk SDK and use it using binding library concept.( I am not sure it will be accessible into ios platform)
Kindly, suggest me the best approach for this.
Any sample reference for suggestions will be grateful.
Thanks in advance.
I think it's a mix of number 1 and number 2 (and a little extra).
You will need to create the Binding libraries for both iOS and Android. Xamarin has a good documentation of how to do this: Android/Java and IOS/Objective-C
Then you can go either with Xamarin Native (Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Android projects) adding the binding to each project. Or you can go with Xamarin.Forms but this will require a little more work as you will need to create an interface of the methods you want to use from the SDKs (most likely all off them) and create the implementations for each platform.
Let's say your interface is called: ISendeskSdkService you will need at least two implementations: ISendeskSdkServiceiOS and ISendeskSdkServiceDroid. These implementations will be on the Platform project and they will be calling the binding libraries you just created and added to each of these projects.
You will be developing your app on top of your interface and which implementation to use will be set on the application load when you are configuring your IoC.
Hope this gives you an idea.
I have an existing application developed using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 C#. I just purchased Xamarin's Monotouch product which allows me to use their IDE MonoDev to create iPhone/iPad applications from scratch by coding C#. Right now I don't want to code a new application. I want take my existing C# application import the source into monodev/monotouch and have the result run on the iPhone/iPad. My existing C# application is designed for deployment on Android phones/tablets using Xamarin's Android product. It works great! I have begun wading into the Xamarin documentation, samples, tutorials etc. But I need to port the existing application to iPhone/iPad right now, right away. I really don't have the luxery to spend time learning from scratch. I've got to belive someone has already gone down this migration path. If you have can we talk, email, or do you know if there is a guide describing the specific steps to take to accomplish this?
TIA
Xamarin MonoTouch does not allow you to run any C# application and run it immediately on an iPhone. The UI layer is native, so the C# code that constructs the UI must use the Xamarin bindings onto the Apple UI APIs.
The 'standard' migration process is to create an empty MonoDevelop project then start adding your existing C# business logic files, resolving any compilation issues as they arise.
I am trying to write my first app using mono and monotouch, that will be a rest client app.
does monotouch supports the rest starter kit dlls(Microsoft.Http.dll) ?
which options do i have to write a rest client on monotouch ?
Thanks
Hammock on github also supports MonoTouch. Just clone, open Hammock.MonoTouch.sln, build, and pick it out of the /bin/mono folder in the project root.
RestSharp on github!
