How Xamarin.iOS Works

What is Xamarin C# Xamarin

Build + Execution Model Features Code runs as 100% native app “Ahead of Time” (AOT) Compiling Generic Classes from NSObject Some Limitations Dynamic Code Generation Cannot use Reflection.Emit No Remoting More Info http://bit.ly/ZjzENy

iOS Runtime Model iOS App Native Code Mono Runtime .NET BCL Native APIs MapKit UIViewController HealthKit Etc.

iOS Application Lifecycle & Structure

Not Running Foreground Inactive Active Background Backgrounded Suspended Xamarin.iOS notifies us of all these states using various overrides in AppDelegate.cs

Using MapKit

iOS Maps - MapKit

// in ViewDidLoad you can do the following var map = new MKMapView (UIScreen.MainScreen.Bounds); View = map;

// add a pin – called Annotation map.AddAnnotation (new MKPointAnnotation (){ Title=“My Pin", Coordinate = new CLLocationCoordinate2D (-79.71332, 43.39523) });
