Folks, I posted the question below into the official Xamarin forum about two weeks ago but never received any replies. Since it's Friday I thought I'd run it up the flagpole in here just in case anyone can salute it -- *Greg K*
============ Can someone please clarify for me if the Microsoft Azure Storage library is usable from Xamarin apps or not? If so, just what are the constraints or conditions? I ask this seemingly simple question because I have been web searching and experimenting for hours to find any way to access Azure Storage. I have found widely conflicting opinions, discussions and arguments in searches. Some suggest it's possible but the project types and targets will not accept the Nuget package. I have tried various new project types in Xamarin Studio with different targets, but they all reject the Nuget package. I'm getting the impression that Azure is not accessible from any PCL project due to certain .NET platform dependencies, but perhaps there are ways around this. So can someone cut through the noise and explain clearly under what circumstances (or not!) the Azure Storage library can be used from Xamarin apps for Android and iOS?
