I have a build of your code, semi-working for Xamarin.IOS, and Xamarin.Android.

In fact, I have more than just a build. I have an IOS app, almost ready for release.

Xamarin.Android is in a sorrier state.

Supports file downloads, listing your files. Delete doesn't work, and Upload doesn't work.

I was wondering if you'd expand your build from just Mono, to Xamarin.Android, and Xamarin.IOS? I know you have a whole pile of projects involving azure, but one thing we don't have out there are tools to work with it, in the Mobile Landscape.. and Xamarin provides an easy way to port C#.net code over into mobile apps.

: )

Very cool!

Have you tried the latest version of the .NET SDK for Azure? This repo is forked off an old version, where there were some dependencies on assemblies that hadn't been ported to Mono. This may have changed, and is worth trying.

If I get a chance I'll take a look at the Xamarin stuff, but I am no expert unfortunately.

Are you building an app for people to manage their own storage accounts? I would be worried about compiling an app which contained my storage credentials, for fear of decompiling, and people gaining direct access to my storage account.

Been grinding on it. Since Last night. Have to wait until this weekend. Yeah, It's a developer tool. Definitely not sending an app out there with my storage keys.

I tried opening the latest version of the .NET SDK in Mono Develop, it didn't go very well!

slackshot commented 10 years ago

Yeah, I got it down to near manageable.. you have to watch out for the StreamExtensions.. Heh.

slackshot commented 10 years ago

Depending on how motivated I am, might take me a chunk of this weekend.

I think I'll submit the IOS build as is.. without delete or upload functionality, and then do an update.

slackshot commented 10 years ago

The app is up there. Going to make a rough version for Android here soon.

Cool, great to here!
