• Managed SDK

Our managed portable library for Window and Xamarin makes it easy to use Azure Mobile Apps from your managed client applications. The Azure Mobile Client SDK is available as a NuGet package or you can download the source using the instructions above. The managed portable library also supports the full .NET 4.5 platform.

To learn more about the client library, see How to use the managed client for Azure Mobile Apps.

The SDK requires Visual Studio 2015.

The managed portable library solution includes a core portable assembly and platform-specific assemblies for each of the supported platforms: Xamarin.iOS, Xamarin.Android, Windows 8.1, Windows Phone 8.1 and .NET 4.5. The core portable platform project is Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Mobile. The platform-specific assembly projects are named using a Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Mobile.Ext.<Platform> convention. The Windows Phone 8 platform also include a Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Mobile.UI.<Platform> project that contain UI components. To build the Managed Portable Libray:

1. Open the Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Mobile.Managed_Windows.sln solution file in Visual Studio 2015.
2. Press F6 to build the solution.

The managed portable library Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Mobile.Managed_Windows.sln has a test application for each of the supported platforms: Windows 8, Windows Phone 8 and .NET 4.5.

1. Open the Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Mobile.Managed_Windows.sln solution file in Visual Studio 2013.
2. Right-click on the test project for a given platform in the Solution Explorer and select Set as StartUp Project.
3. Press F5 to run the application in debug mode.
4. An application will appear with a prompt for a runtime Uri and Tags. You can safely ignore this prompt and just click the Start button.
5. The test suite will run and display the results.

1. Open the client folder in Console or Terminal and execute the following:

   git submodule init
git submodule update

2. Open the e2etest/iOS.E2ETest/iOS.E2ETest.csproj file in Xamarin Studio, build and run.
