    Faster Xamarin.Android Builds & Smaller Dex Files
    Faster Xamarin.Android Builds & Smaller Dex Files
    AvatarJonathan PeppersJune 24, 2019Jun 24, 201906/24/19
    One of our current focus areas in Xamarin.Android is build performance and reducing the multidex count. Developer productivity is directly impacted by the "inner dev loop": the time it takes to make a small code change and see the result on a device or emulator. Performance is a feature!

    Shrinking Your Android App Size
    Shrinking Your Android App Size
    AvatarJon DouglasApril 22, 2019Apr 22, 201904/22/19
    When it comes to application size, bigger is not better. In fact, it’s one of the key factors a user takes into mind when considering installing or uninstalling your application. Imagine if a user ran out of space on their device and your app was one of the biggest offenders for used space. It would be quite a shame for your application to be one of the first to be uninstalled, purely for how large it is...

    Getting Started With WorkManager
    Getting Started With WorkManager
    AvatarJon DouglasApril 8, 2019Apr 8, 201904/8/19
    Give a warm welcome to WorkManager. WorkManager is a library that makes it easy to schedule deferrable, asynchronous tasks even if the app exits or the device restarts. It was designed to be backwards compatible to API 14 and does so by wrapping JobScheduler, AlarmManager, and BroadcastReceivers all in one.
