Does tvOS support SignalR realtime updates? - signalr

I'm just getting started on a new project, and I'm trying to determine the technologies that I will need. Does the new tvOS framework support some kind of realtime updating when something happens on a remote server, like SignalR does?
I'm trying to find something that will work on the AppleTV as a kind of dashboard that reflects changes happening on an Azure Website. Thanks.

Firebase Crash Reporting grouping most Xamarin.Android exceptions

I'm using Firebase Crash Reporting with Xamarin.Forms. I successfully implemented Firebase Crash on my Android app, but most exceptions end up grouped based on android.runtime.JavaProxyThrowable.
How can I fix this?
Firebase Crash Reporting does not support apps that are not built using native code and tools. It doesn't understand frameworks like Xamarin, so you can expect that it may not be very useful in those environments. On Android, it only really knows how to deal with native Java stack traces from native code running the app.

Is the legacy firebase API still supported?

I have been developing a firebase app for a few months now. Looks like the API is changing with the Google migration. Can i still use the old version of Firebase (2.3.2). We are getting ready to QA no way can we just change our code like this.
Firebaser here
The Firebase 2.x SDKs will keep working. We have no current plans to retire the 2.x API, just as we've kept our 1.x APIs up since we introduced 2.0 (in November 2014).
We of course hope that you'll find the new features and pricing compelling enough to upgrade your project to our new Firebase console and at some point also update your code to the new SDKs. We have handy migration guides for Android, iOS and Web apps.

Connect Azure database to existing Asp.Net web application

I'm actually working on an university project and have to figure out how to connect my windows azure database to an already existing ASP.net web application project.
The web application should run on smartphones and tablets.
Since this is a group project, we use TFVC to manage the project.
Our client supplied an mysql script that will create the tables needed.
The Database is hosted in Azure and we want to access it through Visual Studio ultimate, so we can reveice data from the DB and integrate it's data in the application.
I also got the connection string, so I could use it if needed.
So my question is:
How can I connect to the database through visual studio and afterwards: how can I access to it? With access I mean, how and where can I use SQL queries in Visual Studio?
I don't really know where to start, whether it is connecting to the DB via code or on another way.
Every kind of help is welcome.
Thank you in advance.
Your question is still quite vague on specifics of what you want to achieve but hopefully this answers it. If not, please provide even more detail on your question.
If you just want to see the DB in Visual Studio and interact with it
Download the Azure SDK
Go to Tools > Connect To Database
A side box will open and you can navigation through Azure then to your database.
Personally I prefer using SQL Server Management Studio, its much more responsive that the UI through Visual Studio.
If you want to connect your application to Azure, as in code an application that talks to a database, then you just need to replace the connection string in your Web.Config to your Azure Connection String. Then either use ADO.NET, Entity Framework or another ORM.
I recommend Entity Framework but it all depends on what your circumstances and project requirements are.
If the DB already has its schema defined get started here:

If its empty you can use code first:

How to share Meteor Backend server with a Web and mobile app

I am working on an eCommerce project. I want to use amazing meteorjs for this project. I want to know is it possible to share meteor back end server( collections, methods, authentication) with a web and mobile app not just MongoDB. If its possible Please let me know how we can use the same Meteor backend server for multiple apps.
The Meteor client talks to the server using the simple DDP protocol. DDP clients have been written for a variety of other platforms, including Android and iOS.

Connecting iPhone to an ODBC Database

I'm new to iOS development. I have to make an application that connects to a Sybase database. My bet would be to use ODBC. Does anyone know how to connect to an ODBC enabled database from within objective C.
I've encountered applications that can do this but I don't seem to find any specific iOS related documentation or source code examples. Does anyone have even the slightest idea?
Thanks in advance!
There is a new ODBC SDK for iOS available at http://ODBCrouter.com/ipad complete with screenshots and an app you may download and use with the online demonstration system.
Mostly you want to get to remote databases through a web service layer. The app I'm currently working on does a TON of database interaction, and I wrote a number of PHP scripts that live on a web server on the same machine with the database. My PHP receives web requests from the app, does the DB work, and responds with JSON objects. You can obviously use any web layer you want--asp, perl, you name it--and respond with XML if you prefer. Doesn't matter.
I don't know of anybody actually interacting live with a database interface, ODBC or otherwise, directly from the phone. The way people seem to be going about it is via an intermediate web app layer.
iPhone SDK can use SQLite I am unsure of others. Perhaps the best choice will to be to free it of the ODBC issue and write a web service façade to provide the database access.
WCF Data Services /w Entity Framework and the OData client library for iOS will give you full CRUD access to the schema.
