Today we will build a cloud connected Xamarin.Forms application that will display a list of Monkeys from around the world. We will start by building the business logic backend that pulls down json-ecoded data from a RESTful endpoint. We will then leverage Xamarin.Essentials to find the closest monkey to us and also show the monkey on a map.
Follow our simple setup guide to ensure you have Visual Studio 2019 and Xamarin setup and ready to deploy.
