Sorry about that, is live now @mikilll

@TheSaintr sorry about that, uploaded the code.

@ttirrell, the reason you would use this is because it works in any app not just Xamarin.Forms and also the SystemPreferred is a huge advantage compared to the External browser in performance and user experience. We also just added ways to have more control over colors and title :)

I get this question a lot, so here it is from a recent issue opened up. This plugin saves specific properties directly to each platforms native settings APIs (NSUserDefaults, SharedPreferences, etc). This ensures the fastest, most secure, and reliable creation and editing settings per application. Additionally, it works with any Xamarin application, not just Xamarin.Forms.

App.Current.Properties actually serializes and deserializes items to disk.

Hey there Adrian. We have an open issue to add more platform support in the future: https://github.com/xamarin/Essentials/issues/662

@Yordan: Xamarin.Essentials can be used with any iOS/Android/UWP application.

 

@BlueRaja: That is correct, and we provide helpers to get to specific locations when using System.IO

 

@brandwooddixon: We have an open ticket to investigate Bluetooth down the road.

@Claudiu: Hey there, they are populated from our list that we create. Ensure that you have the latest version of Visual Studio as we have added more into the mix lately.

@TheRoyLink:Awesome!

@LouieInSeattle:Was this on the PC? Seems like maybe an issue with the Android emulator. Sometimes a cold boot occurs on android emulators based on different machine resources. It should startup after. Did it eventually boot? 

@fodoom: Shoot me an email about your setup and I will get you in contact with our PM motz @ microsoft . com

@halheinrich you can find the sample here: https://github.com/jamesmontemagno/app-compass

@Arne: Absolutely. Checkout a list of devices: http://testcloud.xamarin.com/devices
