I've been using Xamarin for my job and it's kinda bad. At least Xamarin Forms is.

:agreed: I don't think xamarin forms is quite there. everything has to be done through a renderer. at that point classic iOS xamarin with shared libraries is a good choice.

Xamarin posted:

Starting February 1st, 2015 Apple requires that all new iOS submissions to the App Store must be 64 bit applications built with the iOS 8 SDK; and from June 1st, 2015 app updates will also need to follow the same requirements. As a result, Xamarin.iOS applications will need to be migrated to the new Unified API instead of the existing Classic MonoTouch API to support 64 bit.

its funny how the sole determining factor in my Air 2 purchase was never publicized or disclosed by apple except for vague "the new a8x is faster than ever before"

The app I'm doing is mostly simple enough that we haven't had to use the renderer much but I know what you mean. I do find it really lol that the most recently shipped version of XS does not let you build to the iOS sim because of a bug they caused

the point stands, especially if you would use apple search with apple maps

however it's hard to imagine the app store being worse to navigate somehow, so there's only room for improvement there

Industry executives say Apple is in talks with TV programmers about deals that would allow Apple to offer an “over the top” pay TV, service, like the one Dish has started selling with its Sling TV product, and the one Sony is getting ready to launch.

The theory is that Apple would put together bundles of programming — but not the entire TV lineup that pay TV providers generally offer — and sell it directly to consumers, over the Web. That means Apple wouldn’t be reinventing the way TV works today, but offering its own version of it, with its own interface and user experience.

Apple has shown programmers demos of the proposed service, sources say. But talks seem to be in the early stages, which means terms like pricing and timing aren’t close to being ironed out. Several programmers say they’ve yet to start talks with Apple at all.

An Apple rep declined to comment.
