Xamarin Components for Facebook

Xamarin creates and maintains Xamarin.Android and Xamarin.iOS bindings for Facebook SDKs.

Building

Prerequisites

Before building the libraries and samples in this repository, you will need to install .NET Core and the Cake .NET Core Tool:

dotnet tool install -g cake.tool

When building on macOS, you may also need to install CocoaPods:

# Homebrew
brew install cocoapods

# Ruby Gems
gem install cocoapods

Compiling

You can either build all the libraries and samples in the repository from the root:

dotnet cake

Or, you can build each component separately:

# iOS
cd Facebook.iOS
dotnet cake

# Android
cd Facebook.Android
dotnet cake

The following targets can be specified using the --target=<target-name>:

libs builds the class library bindings (depends on externals)
externals downloads and builds the external dependencies
samples builds all of the samples (depends on libs)
nuget builds the nuget packages (depends on libs)
clean cleans up everything

Working in Visual Studio

Before the .sln files will compile in the IDEs, the external dependencies need to be downloaded. This can be done by running the externals target:

dotnet cake --target=externals

After the externals are downloaded and built, the .sln files should compile in your IDE.
