Release Notes for Mobile Blazor Bindings 0.4 (0.4.74-preview)

Eilon commented 4 years ago

What's new?

New Hybrid Apps feature enables mixing native Blazor UI components with Blazor Web UI components in the same page. This one is HUGE!
Hybrid Apps are hosted in a new BlazorWebView component that uses a browser component to contain the web part of the app
New blazorhybrid project template that supports Android, iOS, Windows (WPF), and macOS for creating hybrid apps
Updated dependent package versions to Xamarin.Forms 4.7, Xamarin.Essentials 1.5, and other libraries. #122
All built-in components have had their list of properties and docs updated to reflect the version update
Breaking change: .NET Core 3.1 SDK is required to use the new preview (previously it was .NET Core 3.0)

More details in the announcement blog post: https://aka.ms/mbb-preview4-blog

Known issues

On Windows, the BlazorWebView component's initial size is incorrect. If you resize the window, it will snap to the correct dimensions. #137
On macOS, when opening the solution in Visual Studio for Mac, you should first right-click on the Windows project and unload it. This will prevent NuGet Restore errors for the Windows project from blocking the build.

@Eilon Are you working on possibility to share Blazor WebAssembly Project in Hybrid App ... to not copy (or sym-link folder) Blazor WebAssembly Project source files each time to Hybrid App ?

Eilon commented 4 years ago

@redradist yup, that's what https://github.com/xamarin/MobileBlazorBindings/issues/129 is all about. It's not about WebAssembly (WASM) specifically, because WASM is more about how the app is deployed, not how code is shared.

By support Razor Class Libraries (RCLs), you can then consume the same RCL from a Blazor Server app, Blazor WASM app, Mobile Blazor Bindings Hybrid App, etc. Yes, there will be some restrictions, but most things should just work.

I see you up-voted that issue, which is great! If you have any other thoughts to share or scenarios you think are important, please add them to that issue so we can take it into account as we start working on that.

移动blazor大概在什么时候可以发布

Eilon commented 4 years ago

Hi @hw72869951 , I've translated your comment to: "When will the mobile blazor be released"

The eventual goal is to have Blazor be an option for building .NET MAUI applications, which is the future of cross-platform UI on .NET.

For now there is Xamarin.Forms, which Mobile Blazor Bindings is built on. We're looking for feedback to help shape what the experience should look like, regardless of the underlying tech it's built on.

To answer your question: There is no firm date, but it will likely be an experiment at least until .NET MAUI ships, which is planned for next year (2021).
