Bluetooth Low Energy with .NET MAUI: This article shows how to connect BLE-enabled devices cross-platform for Android and iOS. The LEGO Porsche GT4 e-Performance with the official LEGO Wireless Protocol serves as a practical example, including hub service, port detection, and motor control.
Voice input makes it possible to intuitively record food eaten and drunk without having to look at a device or tap. Instead of laboriously entering everything by hand, users can simply record their meals and snacks by voice command. This approach can lower the inhibition threshold and encourage users to continuously document their eating habits. This saves time and encourages regular documentation.
Mobile apps thrive on an appealing and well-structured design that helps users achieve their goals. In this article, I'll show you how an old app design can be redesigned to make it look modern and clean. You'll learn more about the design process and design decisions made to provide users with a user-centric UI and UX that helps them achieve their goals.
UI testing is an essential part of mobile app development to ensure that the app delivers the best possible user experience and meets the needs and expectations of its users. But how do we do that in .NET MAUI when Xamarin.UITest is not fully compatible anymore? Let's look at 3 alternatives to Xamarin.UITest.
Matt Goldman revived XamarinUIJuly and renamed it to MAUIUIJuly, where each day in July someone from the .NET MAUI community publishes a blog post or video showing some incredible UI magic in MAUI. In this contribution I will show you how to combine Lottie animations with gestures and scrollable containers to spice up your .NET MAUI App UI!
I am currently working on porting a Xamarin Forms app to DOTNET MAUI. The app also uses maps from Apple or Google Maps to display locations. Even though there was no official support in MAUI until the release of .NET 7, I want to show you a way to display maps via custom handler.
An important feature in the mobile area are maps capabilities. There isn't any app in the market that won't improve their value without a map. Apple and Google doing a great job with there Map-SDKs, but sometimes you hit a spot where they won't suit your needs. Maybe for legal reasons or because you hit a bug inside of them. The later was my case, which is happily resoleved with iOS 10. But I needed an alternative that works offline too.
During a current project we needed to evaluate possibilities to easily set up a Continuous Integration and Deployment system. For several reasons we normally would suggest an In-House solution with TeamCity, but the customer preferred a cloud solution to shorten the procurement and installation process. In this post I explain why and how we set up Bitrise.
As a developer we all know about that rumor of writing any kind of test is a costly task. In this post I would like to show you a better way for writing UI tests that even makes it fun when it comes to a very large mobile app.
Learn in 5 simple steps how Bluetooth and the External Accessory Framework play together to control a BeeWi car with Xamarin iOS.
In a current project, the requirement is to implement navigation with several levels and corresponding sublevels. Since this is an iPad app, UISplitViewController is a natural fit, together with UINavigationController for the master view on the left and the detail view on the right.
2013 ended with a big bang. Alongside the usual New Year's fireworks, many others and I received an email from Cupertino that meant quite a bit of work for January. Apple's announcement that only iOS 7 compliant apps would be accepted in the App Store from February 1, 2014 was surprising not because of the announcement itself, but because of the short timeframe.
Xamarin named Cayas Software the first German company to become a Premier Consulting Partner. In this article you can learn how we achieved that.
From time to time, customers ask me how I can actually test apps. Some even assume I must have a huge arsenal of devices in stock, especially to cover all kinds of Android configurations.
