Overview of using AppConnect with Xamarin apps

The AppConnect for iOS SDK provides a Xamarin C# binding for the AppConnect library APIs. This binding allows you to develop iOS AppConnect apps using the Xamarin development platform.

If your AppConnect app is to be distributed from the Apple App Store, due to Apple App Store requirements, your app is required to work as either an AppConnect app or a regular app. See Developing Third-party Dual-mode Apps.
