Building Connected & Disconnected Mobile Apps

on YouTube ↗01h 01m

" summary

Builds a cross‑platform Xamarin.Forms app called CoffeeCups that uses an Azure Mobile Apps SDK client with a SQLite local store and a sync table to queue local inserts and push/pull when connectivity returns; the demo shows Android, iOS and UWP sync correctly after airplane mode and requires ~20–30 lines to add sync. Also deploys a Realm Object Server on a Linux VM for true real‑time sync. Adding offline sync raises ad‑removal sales by ~1500%.
