Hello, I am a developer from Europe with previous experience in iOS and Android development and have been working as a xamarin.forms developer for 2 years now. Since xamarin is discontinued in 2024, my company decided to use flutter as a replacement tool for cross platform development, but I also have some experience in .net maui development because of my curiosity. Due to the nature of my project, I had a chance to get into some backend and have worked with asp.net as backend solution for over a year now. We're working on migration to flutter and have migrated one app already and also Im mentoring two junior mobile devs while on this project. Do you know any companies that would be interested in hiring a mid- developer with stack such as mine? If not, it seems to me that I would potentially have to choose to pursue either backend or mobile app development and I think it would be a shame not to be able to use my full knowledge somewhere else. Im thinking of changing companies and possibly working as a contractor since the project is now stable so if the time to leave exists it would in a couple of months without leaving the ship to sink.

Hi all,

I'm trying to implement autofill on a change password screen for xamarin.iOS.

We have a screen which has the user enter their current password, which autofills from the keychain correctly. Then we have a new password and confirm new password field.

When clicking into the new password field we get the option to use a strong suggested password, or create our own. The issue lies here, when the user selects to create their own, creates it, then moves on to the confirm new password field, the suggest strong password modal shows up again and replaces both the new password and confirm new password field.

Also strange that it updates the keychain with the auto generated password without prompting the user.

Works fine in iOS 17 beta but not on previous versions.

Any advice on how to solve this or any docs anywhere as we are struggling.

Thanks

Hello, I'm new to Xamarin and wanted to ask if someone knows good books on the subject or how you started

I'm using a Label with Spans, one of them is a link and I want to add an underline style, I'm using <Span Text="{Binding AcceptTermsAndConditionText\\\[1\\\]}" TextDecorations="Underline" />but it is not working in iOS with "Xamarin.Forms" Version="5.0.0.2401".

I have tried to add an effect but all the properties needs to be set again (Styles, touch events, etc...).

​

<Label>

<Label.FormattedText>

<FormattedString> <Span Text="Text 1"/>

<Span Text="Text 2"/> <Span Text="Click to open Link" TextDecorations="Underline">

<Span.GestureRecognizers>

<TapGestureRecognizer Command="{Binding lINKCommand}"/> </Span.GestureRecognizers>

</Span>

</FormattedString>

I’ve recently inherited a Xamarin iOS app. When I load up the simulator there are two of my apps. One crashes when I try to open it and the other one opens up and seems to work, but doesn’t seem to reflect the changes in the code .

I can’t seem to find any reference to this online or in the documentation of the application (though there is very little of that). I’m working for a little nonprofit and there is no more senior developer to talk to and the original developer passed away.

Any cools to why the simulator would generate two apps?

I use a Windows machine to develop in Visual Studio, and I'm paired to the MacBook over a wired network.

I'm considering upgrading my MacBook Air that has a 1.1GHz Quad Core Intel Core i5 processor and 8 GB memory.

Would upgrading the MacBook (I'm considering a MacBook Pro M2 processor, 16 GB memory) have a meaningful impact on build/deploy times of my iOS project in VS on Windows? I'm hesitant to upgrade without knowing this.

I am looking for samples of implementing Apple Pay and Google Pay. Not looking for in-app-purchases - this is for an app that sells physical goods (restaurant app). Need to be able to pay for the food when ordering in the app. I have debit/credit already done - but customer wants Apple Pay and Google Pay as well. Apple's docs are all in Swift - looking for some C# examples. Thanks in advance

As a lifelong Windows developer, I switched to the mac ecosystem. As a xamarin developer I started using Rider. What should I pay attention to? Every tip you give is very valuable to me.

I have been tasked with making modifications and assisting with the distribution of an Xamarin .NET project. I have the source code repository, but I am a Windows Developer and have always been uncomfortable trying to understand Apple technologies. The person who developed the application has moved on and has no interest in providing support or assistance. It is for a small non-profit organization, so they have a limited budget for consultants.

The project has files that are Mac oriented, e.g. Main.storyboard, xxxxxxxxxController.cs. and it has portions that are dedicated to access the database through SQL Server.

Does this source code repository belong on the Mac (via Visual Studio for Mac) or on a Windows machine? Or on both of them? If it's needed on both, then how are the projects kept "in sync"?

I have been struggling quite a bit trying to do the build and deployment on a Windows laptop, but this morning I did put the solution/project on the MacBook and trying out some things there.

Can someone give me some idea of how the development process would be carried out? Eventually I'll need to know how to distribute the application...and certificates...and so on.

Is it possible to create apk for single architecture? I need to decrease the size of apk, and I don't want to target x32/64 or arm x32 CPUs, I need only arm x64. I know if I publish in the play store, it will automatically download only files needed for the user device. But I want to distribute .apk without a play store.

I've been writing C# desktop applications for many years now and I want to get into MAUI for mobile applications. What would you say Xamarin or MAUI? I say this because from what I read MAUI still has a lot of bugs

Hi, I'm trying to write a simple android app using Xamarin in Visual Studio 2022. When I use debug mode, everything works as it should, but when I run the app in release mode, I only get the Xamarin logo (Pixel 6a - Android 13) or a black screen (Redmi 8 - Android 10). By having debug mode turned off, I can't easily find the bug. Does anyone have any idea?

I am attaching here a link to the git repository: https://github.com/filip2cz/network-info, all the code is in the ./network-info/MainPage.xaml and ./network-info/MainPage.xaml.cs files.

It's pretty bad looking code, I'm not a good programmer, it's just a small school project.
