Two fun little projects I did recently. The first, I made a LCD screen showing stats from my fish tank using an Arduino and an AWS Lambda function. The second, my SNES broke so I replaced the internals with a Rasberry Pi.
I’ve released a Xamarin plugin on Nuget that provides a way to take users to the settings page for your application for iOS and Android. This can be useful if users have declined permissions and now need to go to the settings page to manually enable these permissions.
If you’re following the Azure Notifications Hub documentation you’ve probably used this for your iOS notification message:
Xamarin invited Magenic’s mobile lead, Kevin Ford, to be a guest speaker at Magenic University to present the Xamarin vs Phone Gap White Paper that Kevin Ford, Ken Ross, and I created. Watch a recording of it on YouTube below.
I have a client with a Xamarin Forms app that streams live video for sporting events that they host throughout the year. Recently they sent me an email apologizing but saying they forgot to update a sponsor’s logo for an upcoming event. The event was 2 days away, could we get the app updated and in the stores?
I told them the truth. Most likely, no, but we can try. Here is the timeline of how we made it happen.
