LocalyticsXamarin Library Projects

LocalyticsXamarin SDK
LocalyticsXamarin.iOS	IOS Xamarin SDK Binding project
LocalyticsXamarin.Android	Android Xamarin SDK Binding project
LocalyticsXamarin.Shared	Shared Project with code shared between Android and IOS Binding Project
LocalyticsXamarin.Common	Common Project that allows access of Xamarin SDK from a Shared project using dependency service.

These projects deal with bindings to the respective Localytics native SDK. To change code in the binding, the native SDK needs to be changed first then updated in the Xamarin project.

• LocalyticsXamarin.Android (Xamarin.Android Library Binding)

  This project mainly derived from going through possible Transform to fix C# vs Java issues that the tools couldn't dealt with automatically.

• LocalyticsXamarin.iOS for (Xamarin.iOS Unified Library Binding)

  This project mainly derived from generating bindings through Objective Sharpie with subsequent tweaks.
