Serverless Cross-platform Apps with Xamarin.Forms and Google Firebase

on YouTube ↗16m

" summary

Combines Xamarin.Forms with Google Firebase to produce a working cross‑platform chat: a shared UI and ~100 lines of app code use a small unified .NET Firebase provider to observe a Realtime Database collection, post messages, and get offline sync that queues local writes and syncs when network returns; demo shows Android and iOS emulators mirroring messages in milliseconds. Uses Firebase features (Realtime DB, Storage, Cloud Messaging, Functions) but notes platform marshaling bugs between .NET and Java requiring an Android library downgrade.
