Sharp.Xmpp for Xamarin.Forms

[uutkarshsingh]

Hi All,
I am trying to find a library which would work for Xamarin.Forms. I did find someone raising the issue in some other thread but not getting an answer. Does that mean this library cannot be used for this purpose ?

Sockets are handled in Xamarin.Android. Kindly use delegate to forward Xamarin forms

@Harisankar Do you mean it can't be used in Xamarin.Forms and I need use Xamarin.Android alongwith this ? Can you give an elaborate solution to this ? Can you also tell me what XMPP protocol related concepts I need to know if I am stuck with a bug in this library as it seems that the library is not currently under development? I intend to make Xamarin.Forms chat application which run on iOS and Android.. Please I request you to give elaborate answer. Thanks for you help .

@uutkarshsingh, That library won't run inside a PCL, I faced that problem when I tried to use, but that will not be a problem in a Shared project. once you create a Shared project, you can just create a ChatService.cs and handle the chat logic. There others suggestions like create two individual PCL for Android and iOS. but in my case just the share project was enough. be advise though lots of example on the community for xamarin.forms are made on PCL. that was one of the drawbacks. a part from that, I think that library will be useful.

cheers...
