                null, null, null, null);

or you can update Info.plist file

How to upgrade

It takes time to do the binding library and/or upgrade it. Microsoft intends to make it a lot simpler in the future, but not now.

Here are steps if you want to make changes and/or upgrade to the libraries

• 1/ Download latest artifacts from Mapbox as per its installation guide
• 2/ Run chmod +x ./gen.sh
• 3/ Run ./gen.sh
• 4/ Compile and correct any errors shown up
• 5/ Update AssemblyInfo.cs files with the right version number
• 6/ Update *.nuspec files to have the right version number
• 7/ Run sh build.sh to create nuget packages
• 8/ Commit and create a PR

IMPROTANT

Mapbox SDK for iOS now is written in Swift and not very compatible with Objective-C, hence it won't be that friendly when doing the binding. I have to create an additional framework to make the bridge between Swift & C# in Objective-C, it's really a time consuming task. It'll require support from the developers like you in the community.
