1 gRPC C# on Xamarin 2 ======================== 3 4 EXPERIMENTAL ONLY 5 ------------- 6 Support of the Xamarin platform is currently experimental. 7 The example depends on experimental Grpc.Core nuget package that hasn't 8 been officially released and is only available via the [daily builds](https://packages.grpc.io/) 9 source. 10 11 HINT: To download the package, please manually download the latest `.nupkg` packages from "Daily Builds" in [packages.grpc.io](https://packages.grpc.io/) into a local directory. Then add a nuget source that points to that directory (That can be [done in Visual Studio](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/nuget/tools/package-manager-ui#package-sources) or Visual Studio for Mac via "Configure nuget sources"). After that, nuget will also explore that directory when looking for packages. 12 13 BACKGROUND 14 ------------- 15 The example project supports `Xamarin.Android` and `Xamarin.iOS`. 16 17 For this sample, we've already generated the server and client stubs from [helloworld.proto][]. 18 19 PREREQUISITES 20 ------------- 21 22 - The latest version Visual Studio 2017 or Visual Studio for Mac with Xamarin support installed. 23 24 BUILD 25 ------- 26 27 - Open the `HelloworldXamarin.sln` in Visual Studio (or Visual Studio for Mac) 28 - Build the solution (Build -> Build All) 29 30 Try it! 31 ------- 32 33 You can deploy the example apps directly through Visual Studio IDE. 34 Deployments can target both Android and iOS (both support physical device 35 deployment as well as simulator). 36 37 [helloworld.proto]:../../protos/helloworld.proto 38
