The Tabi App is written in C# using the Xamarin Framework and Xamarin Forms. The written code compiles to an Intermediate Language for Android, which is then Just-in-Time (JIT) compiled to native assembly on the phone. For iOS the very same code is Ahead-of-Time (AOT) compiled into native ARM assembly code. This results in near-native performance of the app, while keeping access to all platform-specific APIs.

As an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) we recommend Visual Studio for Windows or Mac, available for free in the Xamarin Store. Other versions of Visual Studio -- i.e. Professional or Enterprise -- can be used as well.

In src/Tabi.Shared/Config duplicate and rename the following files:

• config.debug.sample.json to config.debug.json
• config.release.sample.json to config.release.json
