    Leonardo RodriguezLeonardo RodriguezNovember 8, 2018Nov 8, 201811/8/18

    Gorilla Player is a free XAML previewer for Xamarin.Forms designed to efficiently create multi-platform UIs. It supports previewing in multiple simulators and real devices simultaneously.

    Xamarin.Forms and Zeplin: Speed Up Your Design to Development Process
    AvatarArnstein JohansenOctober 23, 2018Oct 23, 201810/23/18

    Working in a small team with frequent design changes, the extension for Zeplin helps us quickly implement the design. It is also convenient due to its ability to generate a ResourceDictionary for Xamarin.Forms with all your colors and style.

    Whether you are developing for web or creating mobile apps, Zeplin is a great tool that can boost your productivity by bridging the gap between design and code. Zeplin is a service available for free, but with one active project limitation.

    Protect your Xamarin.Android Apps at Runtime with Dotfuscator
    Bill LeachBill LeachOctober 12, 2018Oct 12, 201810/12/18

    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.

    Simplified Android Keystore Signature Discovery
    AvatarJames MontemagnoMarch 14, 2017Mar 14, 201703/14/17

    The Android Keystore is at the heart of every Android application. It enables us to sign our applications and ship them to the app store securely, but also holds additional signature information needed for Google Play services and other APIs, such as Facebook. This new extension makes it super simple to get access to everything you need to sign your app!
