.NET Embedding starter kit for mobile development.

• Android (Java):
  • Xamarin.Android 7.5 or later
  • Android Studio 3.x with Java 1.8
• iOS (Obj-C):
  • macOS 10.12 (Sierra) or later
  • Xcode 8.3.2 or later
  • Mono 5.0

Android NDK v15 (Embeddinator-4000/issues#574)

• Shared code;
• Navigation between Xamarin and Native;
• Tests

Main folders of starter kit:

• e4k - sources of E4K as submodule;
• dotnet - shared .NET code & Xamarin libraries for Android and iOS;
• android - sample Android project (Java);
• ios - sample iOS project (Obj-C).

1. Clone the repository with submodules;
2. Build E4K from sources (see below);
3. Open dotnet/DotNet.sln via Visual Studio for Mac;
4. Write your code, compile in Release;
5. Execute scripts for embedding (see below);
6. Open Android/iOS native projects for the check.

./build-e4k.sh - build E4K from sources (default: all)

• android - parameter for build only for Android (./build-e4k.sh android)
• ios - parameter for build only for iOS (./build-e4k.sh ios)

Before embedding to the native libraries need to build projects with Visual Studio with Release configuration.

./build-android.sh - embedding DotNet.AndroidLibrary to aar and copy to Android native project folder;

./build-ios.sh - embedding DotNet.IosLibrary to framework and copy to iOS native project folder;

• output-android/ - E4K generated output for Android library.
• output-ios/ - E4K generated output for iOS library.

Most problems related to E4K and dependencies, see here: https://github.com/mono/Embeddinator-4000/issues

• .framework size: mono/Embeddinator-4000#601 (comment)
• limitations with arrays on Android: mono/Embeddinator-4000#508
