Repository files navigation

These are a collection of open source components (including bindings and plugins) created by Xamarin and others in the community.

Please note that this repository of bindings for third-party mobile libraries is considered unsupported and unmaintained. We have moved many of the most popular and essential bindings to other repositories.

Existing bindings published from this repository will not receive fixes or updates to newer versions.

For details of bindings officially supported by Microsoft, see theSupport page.

Before building the libraries and samples in this repository, you will need to install.NET Core and theCake .NET Core Tool:

dotnet tool install -g cake.tool

When building on macOS, you may also need to installCocoaPods:

# Homebrewbrew install cocoapods# Ruby Gemsgem install cocoapods

You can either build all the libraries and samples in the repository from the root:

dotnet cake --name=<name-from-manifest>

Or, you can build each component separately:

cd<path-to-component>dotnet cake

The name of each component can befound in the manifest.yaml. For example, to build theARCore component, you can either start the build from the root:

dotnet cake --name=ARCore --target=nuget

Or, you can navigate to the folder and run it from there:

cd Android/ARCoredotnet cake --target=nuget

The following targets can be specified using the--target=<target-name>:

• libs builds the class library bindings (depends onexternals)
• externals downloads and builds the external dependencies
• samples builds all of the samples (depends onlibs)
• nuget builds the nuget packages (depends onlibs)
• clean cleans up everything

Before the.sln files will compile in the IDEs, the external dependencies need to be downloaded. This can be done by running theexternals target:

dotnet cake --target=externals

After the externals are downloaded and built, the.sln files should compile in your IDE.

The following libraries aresupported.
