The anylinesdk-xamarin.sln Visual Studio solution located in the /BindingSource directory inhibits two projects: The project for Android bindings AnylineXamarinSDK.Droid and the iOS bindings project AnylineXamarinSDK.iOS.

The Android Binding project creates a Bindings library from the provided Anyline Java library (.aar file), given Metadata.xml transforms and Additional C# code.

Located in the Assets/tools directory lies the javadoc and python scripts to automatize parameter naming fixes, as the Xamarin build tool is not able to keep the correct parameter names after binding.

The iOS Binding project provides easy compilation from the provided Anyline framework, given linker & binding definitions via Anyline.linkwith.cs, ApiDefinition.cs and StructsAndEnums.cs.

The binding definitions are generated by the Xamarin tool Objective Sharpie

The Examples directory provides source code for the Anyline Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Android Example apps. Simply build & run the example project for your desired platform and enjoy scanning :)
