    Persisting Settings and Preferences in Mobile Apps with Xamarin.Essentials
    Persisting Settings and Preferences in Mobile Apps with Xamarin.Essentials
    February 19, 2019 Feb 19, 2019 02/19/19

    An essential part of any mobile application is the ability to persist data. Sometimes that is a large amount of data that requires a database, but often it is smaller pieces of data such as settings and preferences that need to be persisted between application launches.

    Easily Check Mobile Device Connectivity with Xamarin.Essentials
    Easily Check Mobile Device Connectivity with Xamarin.Essentials
    February 12, 2019 Feb 12, 2019 02/12/19
    James Montemagno
    As a mobile app developer, it's great to be able to pull data from the server to our apps to provide users with a delightful experience. Of course, until your user puts their device on airplane mode or hits a rough patch with no cell reception. To provide the best user experience we need access to the current network state of our users' device. Better yet, be able to register for changes to that network state. Doing this will allow our mobile apps to react to different network conditions to provide users with instant feedback. With the connectivity API in Xamarin.Essentials, we can do just that with a few lines of code.

    Protect your Xamarin.Android Apps at Runtime with Dotfuscator
    Protect your Xamarin.Android Apps at Runtime with Dotfuscator
    October 12, 2018 Oct 12, 2018 10/12/18
    Jayme Singleton
    n a previous blog we discussed obfuscating your Xamarin application with Dotfuscator Community to protect it from reverse-engineering. That kind of protection is an important and necessary layer in your application's security posture, but it shouldn't be the only layer. The application also needs to react to threats at runtime in order to protect its own integrity, and to protect the data that it accesses.
