A month ago, we reported that Microsoft obtained
Xamarin and respected Find xamarin Developers group to Microsoft. Today, in his
Build 2016 keynote, Scott Guthrie laid out our plans for how Xamarin and Visual
Studio will meet up. On the off chance that you haven't as of now, look at
Scott Guthrie's keynote synopsis post and Nat Friedman's blog.
To put it plainly, we're making Xamarin's
cross-platforms devices accessible in Visual Studio, from Community up through
Enterprise at no extra cost and we're publicly releasing the Xamarin SDK – the
center of the Xamarin toolchain. Likewise, we're influencing Xamarin's
servicess (for instance, To test Cloud and Xamarin University) accessible
alongside the current Microsoft versatile DevOps abilities.
To begin with Xamarin on Visual Studio 2015 or Visual
Studio 2013, download the Xamarin installer for Windows. On the off chance that
you are introducing Visual Studio 2015 out of the blue, downloading Visual
Studio 2015 Update 2 will likewise incorporate Xamarin devices. Likewise,
Visual Studio "15" Preview installer will consequently introduce Xamarin
Tools.
The coordination of Xamarin into Microsoft's developer
devices makes us one stride promote towards empowering our vision of supporting
"any developer, any application, any platforms." With Xamarin you can
make completely native applications for Android, iOS, and Windows utilizing the
power and profitability of Microsoft's development devices and servicess.
Together, these and Azure backend servicess make a complete solution that
traverses each period of the portable improvement cycle. Here's somewhat more
insight about what we reported today:
The sense of duty regarding open source. Three
imperative things are occurring around open source. To start with, today we
resolved to publicly release the Xamarin SDK (runtime, libraries and summon
line apparatuses) in the coming months. Second, Xamarin reported today that it
has just contributed the Mono Project – centre to the Xamarin instruments – to
the .NET Foundation, and the .NET Foundation thusly declared that they will
re-discharge Mono under the MIT License. We are anticipating dynamic company
with and commitments from the group for both of these activities. At last, to
kick that off, Unity, JetBrains and Red Hat reported that they are joining the
Technical Steering Group of the .NET Foundation, as an awesome declaration of
the solid force of the .NET people group.
Visual Studio incorporates Xamarin advances and
instruments at no extra cost. Beginning today, Visual Studio Community
(Microsoft's free improvement condition for singular developers, little expert
groups, open source undertakings, and instruction) incorporates a completely
practical release of Xamarin devices empowering developers to target Android
and iOS applications. Also, a group release of Xamarin Studio (Xamarin's
development condition that keeps running on OS X) is presently accessible with
a permit like Visual Studio Community. Visual Studio Professional and
Enterprise incorporate Xamarin's expert and endeavor highlights at no extra
cost.
Xamarin's Enterprise abilities accessible in Visual
Studio Enterprise. Beginning today, existing and new Visual Studio Enterprise
endorsers will approach – at no extra charge – to Xamarin's propelled venture
capacities and a marked down access to Xamarin Test Cloud. Xamarin Test Cloud
and Xamarin University will likewise be accessible as independent offerings,
supplementing Microsoft's developer cloud servicess.
Xamarin Studio Community and Visual Studio
Subscriptions. Xamarin Studio is a completely useful IDE empowering development
of iOS, Android, and Mac applications on Mac OS X, and today we reported two
things around Xamarin Studio for Mac. The first is that we're making a
Community release of Xamarin Studio for Mac. The second is that Xamarin Studio
Professional and Enterprise will be incorporated into Visual Studio
Subscriptions.
Xamarin Studio Community is free recently like Visual
Studio Community for qualified users and employment. Xamarin Studio Community
incorporates coordinated native creators for iOS and Android, and in addition punctuation
featuring for C# and F#, code route and refactoring. Download Xamarin Studio
Community.
Visual Studio Professional and Enterprise endorsers
can utilize Professional and Enterprise versions of Xamarin Studio for Mac as
an advantage of their Visual Studio membership. Most Visual Studio supporters
should sign in to the Visual Studio endorser entry (Visual Studio cloud
endorsers, go here) to get to Xamarin Studio (for Mac). Visual Studio
Enterprise endorsers will get extra Enterprise capacities for both Visual
Studio and Xamarin Studio, as depicted in more detail in the Visual Studio
offerings examination page.
25% Discount on Xamarin Test Cloud advantage for
Visual Studio Enterprise endorsers. Through Xamarin Test Cloud, a wide range of
portable developers—C#, Objective-C, Java and crossover application developers
— can test and enhance the nature of their applications utilizing a huge number
of cloud-facilitated telephones and gadgets. Today, we are declaring a 25%
markdown on Xamarin Test Cloud for Visual Studio Enterprise supporters (Visual
Studio Enterprise with MSDN and Visual Studio Enterprise – yearly). Sign in to
the Visual Studio supporter entry (Visual Studio cloud endorsers go here) to
get your markdown.
Xamarin University development. Xamarin University
gives web based preparing to portable developers utilizing Xamarin. At present,
the Visual Studio Dev Essentials program, a free developer enrollment, gives
access to a constrained solution of Xamarin University courses. Today, we are
growing the choice of online classes for all Visual Studio Dev Essentials
individuals. Furthermore, we are putting forth significantly more classes to
Visual Studio Enterprise and Visual Studio Professional supporters, as a
recently included membership advantage. These classes enable versatile
developers to increase their current aptitudes to assemble great portable
applications. On the off chance that you are a Visual Studio Dev Essentials
program part or Visual Studio cloud supporter, sign in here to get to Xamarin
University. All other Visual Studio endorsers should visit their supporter
entry.
Xamarin Insights and HockeyApp. The Xamarin Insights
group and Microsoft's HockeyApp group will cooperate to convey an
industry-driving answer for versatile crash announcing, circulation, and
investigation. As a major aspect of this progress, the consolidated group will
concentrate on HockeyApp and will keep on investing in highlights to convey the
considerable encounters you have generally expected in Xamarin Insights and in
HockeyApp. For more data on the change, visit the HockeyApp blog.
Xamarin and Azure IoT. Additionally today, we flaunted
MyDriving, a completely practical Internet of Things test application that we
assembled utilizing .NET, Xamarin, UWP, and our Azure cloud servicess, for
example, the IoT Hub to exhibit what you can construct. MyDriving grandstands
some of what's conceivable with Azure IoT servicess, for example, the Azure
Event Hub and Azure Stream Analytics with Visual Studio and Find xamarin
Developers to make a straightforward (and to run) IoT application.
