New Integration Categories on the Xamarin Platform

New Integration Categories on the Xamarin Platform

Xamarin is one of the major platforms to develop cross platform applications. It lets developers use the same code base to develop native applications for Android, iOS, Windows and more. Due to this fact the platform attracted over 1.4 million developers. While Xamarin makes it easy to develop cross platform, it’s hard to develop well connected application on the platform. Most apps today rely on several integrations with 3rd party service like Dropbox, Stripe, Facebook and many more. Native app developers can leverage several solutions and well maintained libraries to integrate these services very easily. On Xamarin it’s a pain, since the only easy way doing it are so called Components, which only exist for a few services and are usually not well maintained. Of course there is also the possibility to call APIs directly, but this is so error prone and time consuming that most developers don’t consider it an option.
Today API Integration Provider CloudRail (https://cloudrail.com) released a version for Xamarin developers which solves this problem. The service, which is already well known among native Android and iOS developers, brings its complete portfolio of integrations on the Xamarin platform. This includes a constantly growing number of APIs like Google Drive, Paypal, Stripe or Twitter which are now accessible for all Xamarin developers.
But CloudRail even goes further in the simplification of APIs. With so called Unified Interfaces, CloudRail bundles multiple services of the same kind into an universal API. This allows developers to integrate for example Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive and Box via the exact same API. Using this feature, developers can integrate all providers of the respective category in less time they would actually need for just one. Moreover CloudRail keeps these integrations up-to-date to protect developers from breaking integrations, which is currently a big problem in the industry.
“We are already providing integrations used by more than 50 million users, mainly on Android and iOS today. Xamarin is our first step into the cross plattform world and we’re looking forward to be the same game changer here as we were on native platforms”, says Felix Kollmar, CEO of CloudRail.
The Xamarin SDKs are being available as of today and can be used for free. CloudRail has also versions for Android, iOS (Objective-C and Swift), Java SE and Node.js.

Founded in 2013, CloudRail’s vision is to revolutionize the way APIs are being integrated. With it’s universal API approach, the start-up is significantly simplifying integrations which leads to a more connected world. Headquartered in Mannheim, Germany and with an office in San Francisco, CA, CloudRail powers reliable integrations which are used by millions of people every day.
