Architecture

What is ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET

• Supports:

- WPF

- Windows Universal app (UWP)

- Xamarin Android

- Xamarin iOS

- Xamarin.Forms (Android, iOS, UWP)

• Exact same business logic code for all platforms.

- Use native platform UI framework

- Or use Xamarin.Forms abstraction to share UI logic as well

Installing ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET

• NuGet packages

- Xamarin.Android, Xamarin.iOS, Xamarin.Forms (Android, iOS, UWP)

• Visual Studio installation (VSIX) – Windows only

- Templates for each supported platform

- Local NuGet package source

.NET

1. Xamarin Forms: a lot of shared code, less control

- UI is defined with a Xamarin flavor of XAML

- Subset of UI elements

- Rendered as native controls for each platform

- Basic cross-platform functionality

2. Xamarin Native: less shared code, more control

- Each UI is created using platform-specific controls

- *.axml (Android), *.storyboard (iOS), *.xaml (UWP)

- User experience is true to the platform

- More platform-specific control
