With Azure Mobile Apps you can add a scalable backend to your connected client applications in minutes.
If you are new to Azure Mobile Apps, you can get started by following our tutorials for connecting to your hosted cloud backend with a Xamarin.Forms client or Windows client.
To get the source code of our SDKs and samples via git just type:
git clone https://github.com/Azure/azure-mobile-apps-net-client.git
cd ./azure-mobile-apps-net-client/
git submodule init
git submodule update
Please note that this project uses git submodules which isn't included in the archive if you are using "Download ZIP" button on GitHub.
- .NET Standard 1.4
- Xamarin Android for API 19 through 24 (KitKat through Nougat)
- Xamarin iOS for iOS versions 8.0 through 10.0
- Xamarin.Forms (Android, iOS and UWP)
- Universal Windows Platform
Other versions may work. We do not test them and thus cannot support them.
Our managed portable library for Window and Xamarin makes it easy to use Azure Mobile Apps from your managed client applications. The Azure Mobile Client SDK is available as a NuGet package or you can download the source using the instructions above.
To learn more about the client library, see How to use the managed client for Azure Mobile Apps.
The SDK requires Visual Studio 2017.
- Open the
Microsoft.Azure.Mobile.Client.slnsolution file in Visual Studio 2017. - Ensure you have connected an iOS Build Agent prior to building
- Use Solution -> Restore NuGet Packages...
- Press F6 to build the solution.
The following test suites under the 'unittest' directory contain the unit tests:
- Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Mobile.platform.Test
- Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Mobile.SQLiteStore.platform.Test
Mark the appropriate project as the Startup project and run it. The UI will open and then you can run the tests. If in doubt, run the Net 4.6.1 platform locally as a minimal unit test.
You must have a working test endpoint to run the tests. The test endpoint is not included and may take some time to set up. If you need a working test endpoint, please reach out to us on Twitter or via the GitHub Issues. The Azure Mobile Apps team will run the E2E tests prior to publication.
If you are an Azure Mobile Apps team member, you can set the appropriate e2etest project as active, build, and use a configured endpoint.
Microsoft is committed to fully supporting Azure Mobile Apps, including support for the latest OS release, bug fixes, documentation improvements, and community PR reviews. Please note that the product team is not currently investing in any new feature work for Azure Mobile Apps. We highly appreciate community contributions to all areas of Azure Mobile Apps.
