DFU in iOS Xamarin

[Shay Ohayon]

I'm trying to get DFU to work on my Xamarin iOS project. Has anyone managed to get the library binding of the iOS DFU library with Xamarin iOS?

Hi Shay,

I spoke to our Mobile Apps developers and none of them are using Xamarin, so I am afraid that you won't see any official Xamarin support from Nordic.

However, some of the other users here on DevZone might know how to do this.

Update: I've talked to the product manager and we decided to release a Xamarin demo project that includes the required library's for the Nordic DFU. The Nordic DFU library will be free but with limited support.

The library will as told before be based on the Arendi.BleLibrary. This Xamarin component is free for evaluation with the limitation that it only works for 2minutes. For the demo project this will be fine as an update shouldn't take longer than these two minutes.

As counter part I'm using the Nordic SDK 11 running the bootloader example and the ble_app_hrs with DFU support.

I hope that I can publish the demo project with the library's before next week. Probably a blog post would be the best way to do this?
