Xamarin and Azure Better Together Quickstarts

Shopping Demo App Overview

Learn how to connect your Xamarin mobile apps to the cloud. The Shopping Demo App is a great business-to-consumer application sample available on multiple platforms. This mobile app demo uses a wide range of Azure services to help users authenticate with Facebook or Twitter, sell and buy personal items, get notifications when items are purchased, and rate the app with a smile. Play with the app code in our GitHub repo, find documentation that shows you how to connect your apps to the cloud, and deploy it to your own Azure subscription now.

App Service is a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) offering of Microsoft Azure. It allows to create mobile apps for any platform or device. You can integrate your apps with several SaaS solutions as Authentication, Push Notifications, Storage, etc.

The following tutorials explain how to work with App Service and show you quickly and easily use several App Service features based on the Shopping Demo App available on GitHub

• Authenticate and authorize users with Twitter and Facebook

• Allow your app to work offline and sync after

• Send and receive push notifications on iOS, Android, and Windows

• Store your app data in the cloud

• Use Microsoft Cognitive Services to personalize your app’s responses

Android Push Notification Guide incomplete

Hi All,

Trying to work through the Push Notification setup on Android, it just references the generic Azure docs for getting started, but never references back to how you implement/set it up within the actual Shopping Demo. The sample app used in the Azure doc is different from what the shopping app is using, and so it is unclear what resources you need to actually implement.

Deploy to Azure Fails

Deploy to Azure Fails with error: "It's not allowed to create new accounts with type 'Emotion'
See attached screen shot

Good to know how and where configure that...

AppSettings.cs not mentioned in guide

AppSettings.cs seems to have constants for connection strings and keys that are required but I can find any mentioned of this in the guide.
