Welcome, it is good to see you are here and that you are interested in building a mobile application with azure cognitive services! In this repository you will find all content that is necessary to start creating your own mobile application.
For this hackathon, a few samples have been prepared. You will have the choice to test out the Azure Emotion API and/or the Bing Speech API. And although this hackathon was titled Xamarin, we also prepared a sample for the Emotion API in React Native for the ones interested!
For this hackathon you will build an app with Xamarin and/or React Native. So step one is getting your device ready:
- For Xamarin, it will be enough to just download and install Visual Studio for your device. Further instructrions can be found in the specific assignment folders.
- For React Native, the setting up will take a bit longer, but it's documented very clearly. It's as easy as following the React Native getting started documentation. Note: Make sure to follow the "Building projects with native code" guide and select your current platform. Although React Native is very easy for cross-platform development, the apps you will create today will be targeted for Android only!
Your next step is choosing your Api and platform and start building your application:
