Hi,
of course I have read your notice "IMPORTANT: make sure to use version 7.2.1 of the NuGet package because there is an issue with the v8 release that results in a 'Method not implemented exception' at runtime."

But as far as I can see, versions below 8.0 are not compatible with portable class libs. So the code has to be implemented in each project, UWP, Android, AND iOS, so there's absolutely no benefit in using Xamarin.

So how are we supposed to implement this feature in a meaningful way?
Is there another way of calling the API?

I am a developer from Pakistan, just curious to know how developers from Pakistan can participate in XamarinAlliance challenges ?

I have been having this typical periodic problem for quite some time now.
The issue is that in a Xamarin.Forms project, then in the Xamarin.Android project beneath, references are periodically lost to every Xamarin.Android.Support.XXX.dll DLL's.

In addition sometimes the System.ObjectModel in Xamarin.Android project is also lost.

When I look at one of these problematic references inside Xamarin.Android project, then I can see that the path is indeed empty for the reference, hence I try to remove the reference and rea dd it manually to its DLL.

Sometimes this works, most of the time a Clean of the Xamarin.Android project and successive Rebuild of the project fixes the problem. Sometimes the problem is also resolved by removing the Xamarin.Forms Nuget package, which in turn removes the Xamarin.Android nuget packages it contains, and then reinstall the Xamarin.Forms nuget package.

However now after trying all of the above, the project will still not deploy, but for some reason it compiles fine it seems after the Rebuild. Deploying to Android device fails, with these exceptions:

The referenced component 'Xamarin.Android.Support.Media.Compat' could not be found.
unknown enum constant Scope.LIBRARY_GROUP.

I have researched for some time for a solution to this annoying problem and can see that a lot of people are having the same problems. Some people don't have problems with this in Xamarin Studio on Mac and most have problems in Visual Studio on windows, but it is nonconclusive.

I have never experienced that the references gets corrupted periodically in any .Net Visual Studio project, so I think this is a bug specific to Xamarin and its implementation.

Sometimes the compiler complains that there is ambuigity between some of the Xamarin.Android.Support DLL'. I have a Visual Studio 2015 installation (Xamarin is also installed with this Visual Studio version) on the same machine as an Visual Studio 2017, which I use for developing Xamarin apps. So there is sometimes some ambuigity between the DLL' installed with Visual Studio 2015 in C:\ProgramFiles\VisualStudio\XXX, but I cant see how this should create this problem?

Do you have any suggestion on what to do, other than reinstall Visual Studio and hope for the best?

Hi when I try to install the Microsoft.Azure.Mobile.Client nugget package I receive this message

Any suggestion? because I'm blocked and I can't continue to challenge 3 4 and 5 :(

The project dont run because this error.

Dear,

When trying to complete Challenge 3, I added the Microsoft.Azure.Mobile.Client library to the shared project. However, during runtime I got the error referenced in the title. Initial searches yielded these suggestions: https://github.com/Azure/azure-mobile-apps-net-client/issues/271. So I added Microsoft.Azure.Mobile.Client to the Droid project without changing any additional code and then the error disappeared. Is this normal behaviour or is there any explanation as to why this happens?

If you need more details, please feel free to ask.

Hi,

I am following below steps from this link "https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/mobile-center/azure/identity/facebook". I am not getting point 3. Where in Facebook developer site I have to enter "https://mobile-{app id}.azurewebsites.net/.auth/login/facebook/callback" ? Someone please help me so that I can complete the challenge.

Register your application with Facebook

• Go to the Facebook Developers site and sign-in with your Facebook credentials. If you have not already registered, click Apps > Register as a Developer, then accept the policy and follow the registration steps.
• Click My Apps > Add a New App. In Display Name, type a unique name for your app, type your Contact Email, choose a Category for your app, then click Create App ID and complete the security check. This takes you to the developer dashboard for your new Facebook app.
• At Facebook Login, click Get Started. On the left navigation, click Settings, and add your application's Redirect URI, which is https://mobile-{app id}.azurewebsites.net/.auth/login/facebook/callback to Valid OAuth redirect URIs, then click Save Changes.
• In the left-hand navigation, click Settings. On the App Secret field, click Show, provide your password if requested, then make a note of the values of App ID and App Secret.

Thanks.

Hi all,
I followed your guide for the 4° step.
I'm developing the application on iOS.
Unfortunately when I try to perform the LoginAsync method I get the following error:

(Google)
403
Error: disallowed_useragent

I didn't find a workaround on the web.
It seems that the Azure ddl uses a WebView but Google has deprecated it.

Hello,

I have been having a reoccurring problem when connecting to Azure services. The error which occurs is as follows:
"The request could not be completed (internal server error)".

I even tried with other applications, but I recieve the same error which states "Internal Server Error".

Would you'd be able to give me any advice as to what the issue may be and how I can resolve it?

Kind regards

Alessandro
