I would like to ask that, how can I use the firebase cloud messaging to support my current minimum sdk version 9 of my app? Or should I use back google cloud messaging?
Thanks.
If you want to support Android versions < 14 you need to use Google Play libraries (or Firebase libraries) that have been released before February 2017 (version 10.2)
In February Google released Google Play services and Firebase 10.2 and changed the minimum required version of Android to 14:
https://developers.google.com/android/guides/releases#february_2017_-_version_102
Android version 2.3.x (Gingerbread) Deprecation
Google Play services 10.2.x is the first release that no longer
includes full support for Android version 2.3.x (Gingerbread). Apps
developed using SDK release 10.2.x and later require a minimum Android
API level of 14 and cannot be installed on devices running API
level below 14.
To learn more about your options, including building
multiple APKs to extend your app's support for Android Gingerbread,
see the Android Developers Blog.

Will mesibo solution ( VDO & Audio) API will work in Oman & also mesibo SDk compatible with iconic framework ?
We have tried it in UAE and it works.
Regarding ionic, refer this https://mesibo.com/documentation/faq/#does-mesibo-supports-cross-platform-tools-like-flutter-react-native-ionic-etc
You can use mesibo with all the cross-platform tools like Flutter, React-Native, Ionic, etc. mesibo APIs are provided as a Native SDK for Android, iOS, and Web. Since all the cross-platform tools offer a way to access native APIs, you can use mesibo from the platform of your choice. Refer to respective platform documentation to learn how to access native APIs. You can also refer a short tutorial here Using mesibo with Cross-Platform Application Development Tools like Flutter, React-Native, Swift, Ionic, etc.
We have to develop a Flutter application with your SDK, however, we must allow the use of your SDK in offline mode. Unfortunately, the premium version is not yet developed for Flutter. What do you think is the best approach to allow using offline mode on a Flutter project?
Our 4.x SDKs are currently in active development. Offline mode including map, positioning, routing etc has been planned for the 4.x SDKs. Some of the modules will be available in the upcoming releases. So, please check back later for the update.
I visited the developer site of Microsoft Band, it says that Microsoft Band SDK is not available, but still, I want to develop apps using Microsoft Band. So is there any method for doing the same still available.
There are archived SDK sources. The answer to thus question contains links to the IOS and android libraries as well as the Windows SDK. It is an amazing device and it is very sad that Microsoft discontinued it.
Good luck.
Hi newbie on Xamarin Forms.
I am a bit of confuse on using Xamarin forms.
With the following questions, I hope you can help me to understand to use it for development.
Currently I am using VS2015 Community version
1) If I have done the Settings on Cross Platform development to include C#/.Net(Xamarin v4...), do I still need to download the Xamarin at Xamarin.com?
2) Understand Android and iOS have different Api level (Sdk ver) and iOS ver8,9,10 respectively.
So, When google releases new api or Apple releases new iOS ver, How do I update Xamarin to use them? what I need to and How I handle Android and iOS new update respectively? What are the steps to take?
3) If I have Updated Xamarin, is this means it has included all the latest Api for Android and iOS
4) Can I use Xamarin for VS2017 as compare to VS2015 is more matured?
Thanks
You can and should use latest and greatest tools available, unless you have some limitations. Use Visual Studio 2017, it provides an easy installation of Xamarin.
When a new version of platform SDK is released by Google or Apple for example, you will have to:
Download & install new platform SDK for Android / iOS
Update Xamarin.Forms nuget package in the project
Additionally in case of iOS you may need to update Xcode
Xamarin.Forms documentation can answer all of your questions, so I suggest to get familiar with it.
I think you'll need to add some steps.
First - try create Xamarin Forms project and buil it(for Android). If you have errors - please read this manual
You need to check the update in several places.
2.1. About the new version Xamarin you will be informed Visual Studio.
For VS 2015 Check next setting - Service - Parametrs - Update Xamarin(checked).
For VS 2017 - You'll see the checkbox on the top right.
2.2 About update Android Api -You must learn manually. Check in VS
Service - Android - Package manager SDK Android. The new AIPI is a great event in the world of android - but you need to sit behind the news.
2.3 Also packages(Xamarin Forms and other) are updated - you need check nuget packages for your solution.
2.4. You must manual run update Xamarin for your mac. This is an extensive topic. Please read this article.
No is it. You need some manual actions(see item 2).
VS 2017 Has new features and new bugs ). I use VS 2017.
I am going to build application for Android TV. For debugging and testing I need a hardware device of TV. I have no idea about hardware of Android TV device.Which device is suitable for debugging and testing for Android TV application?
In addition to #ULazdins's answer, you can check this article about Debugging on an Android TV. Before you begin building apps for TV, you must know first the prerequisites:
Update your SDK tools to version 24.0.0 or higher
The updated SDK tools enable you to build and test apps for TV.
Update your SDK with Android 5.0 (API 21) or higher
The updated platform version provides new APIs for TV apps.
Create or update your app project
In order to access new APIs for TV devices, you must create a project or modify an existing project that targets Android 5.0 (API level 21) or higher.
Hope this helps!
