Do we have xamarin native sdk available for dreamfactory? I see that .NET sdk is available but is it fully compatible with xamarin.

@Im_PJ we don’t have a time frame for Xamarin SDK, but Xamarin has some rich resources available on consuming web services. Check out this [example:](https://developer.xamarin.com/recipes/android/web_services/consuming_services/call_a_rest_web_service/offline.pdf)

Additional reading [here.](https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/xamarin-forms/web-services/)

The .NET SDK from Dreamfactory uses the ‘unirest-net’ client library for the API which in turn has dependencies on the [‘Microsoft.Net.Http’] ([https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Net.Http](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Net.Http)) which comes recommended by Xamarin.
