Example of Xamarin.iOS and Akavache.Secure use
Big thank you to the following sources which helped in putting this together with their content and/or open source software:
- https://github.com/akavache/Akavache
- http://kent-boogaart.com/blog/password-protected-encryption-provider-for-akavache
- https://github.com/andrius-k/AkavacheExplorer.Xamarin
- https://github.com/PureWeen/Akavache.Samples
- reactiveui/Akavache#190
This was an excerice of trying to get Akavache.Secure or SQLiteEncryptedBlobCache working to encrypt the local SQLite based cache using a custom EncryptionProvider implementation.
Here are my stackoverflow posts where I was trying to figure this out and which prompted me to create this sample to test out the process.
