Our beloved Xamarin was sunset a while ago, and MAUI is now stable enough to start building production apps with it. As you may know from my blog’s history, I’ve been a long-time mobile developer, who’s worked with Xamarin, Flutter, MAUI, and I built this Xamarin.Forms chat app 5 years ago to showcase how to […]
Why will you want to impersonate a user? Isn’t it a bad thing to do? when should it be used? Let’s say you have a user of your system, this user faces an issue or a bug he/she desperately tries to explain but you just can’t understand what he is explaining. Wouldn’t it be good […]
Validation is an important part of APIs. When using a clean architecture, or another modern application design pattern, most often we leverage CQRS’ commands for actions like POST, PUT, etc. These commands have side effects. While those without side effects like GET requests are implemented in queries. Commands most often need some sort of asynchronous […]
Have you ever worked on migrating from a legacy system to a newer one? That’s what I’m doing, and I learn a lot from this every day. Today we’ll learn how to translate tokens with identity server. Specifically, we will use tokens issued with Forms authentication ticket to make authenticated API calls on APIs protected […]
Messaging services like WhatsApp keep bragging about end-to-end encryption (E2EE) telling us how it keeps our data safe even if messages we send are intercepted by a third party. Have you ever wondered how this works? how come they are able to secure our messages over the internet ? Well, I’ve asked myself those questions […]
Hello Friends, while building your mobile app, I’m sure you’ve already come across a situation where you need your app to do some time-consuming work in the background, without interfering with the user’s experience. Such tasks might include synchronizing data, sorting data, unzipping large files, etc. Though C# gives us a way to run asynchronous […]

While building Xamarin Forms applications there are several things that you find yourself repeating again and again. These might include creating value converters, markup extensions e.t.c. These repetitions could be made a lot easier using Xamarin Forms Snippets. And that is what we are covering today. This article is part of my contribution to Xamarin […]
Hi friends, here we are again, my first blog post in 2020. Today we will talk about how to navigate to a page and wait results. This can be really useful by making our code easier to read, as compared to using Xamarin Forms’ Messaging Center each time a page needs to send back results […]
