I found the SalesForce Component on the Xamarin components store here:

https://components.xamarin.com/view/SalesforceSDK

However there is no mention of MobilePush support. I'm actually only interested in how I might register for notifications with SalesForce after I have the token from Apple APNS and Google GCM. i.e. use a Rest or SOAP API to perform the registration rather than use an interactive SDK.

The SalesforceSDK and the Marketing Cloud MobilePush SDK are not the same. The SalesforceSDK is not likely what you are looking for. Xamarin is known to work, but is unsupported by the SFMC MobilePush SDK.

  • Thanks Bill. Do you know of any way to still use MobilePush but without the SDK? Is there an API maybe available?

  • The "Fuel" APIs can be used. Look for documentation at Code@.

  • Sorry Bill to keep firing questions at you. I had a look at the FuelSDK-CSharp project (github.com/salesforce-marketingcloud/FuelSDK-CSharp) but it doesn't seem to have support for what I want to do. I'm probably confusing Salesforce Push Notifications and Marketing Cloud MobilePush as you have suggested. I'm very new to Salesforce. I'm going to try and create bindings for the SalesforceSDK based on this document developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.pushImplGuide.meta/…. It seems it should be supported by the Salesforce SDK.

The Marketing Cloud MobilePush SDK team provides native SDKs for Android and iOS as well as wrappers for Cordova and React.

Please open a Voice of Customer request for a Salesforce Supported Xamarin binding.

  • Interesting they'd support the lesser -known platforms, but not Xamarin. It appears that they are closely aligned with Google ecosystem (using Firebase Cloud Messaging), and not Microsoft's (Azure), and that's probably the reason. Can developers using the MobilePush SDK integrate with Azure instead of Firebase?

  • I note that MobilePush SDK has dependencies on GooglePlay Services (which does have Xam libraries), and also AltBeacon. Does AltBeacon provide a Xamarin library?

  • Please confirm the accuracy of these two statements: 1) It appears that the MarketingCloud SDK has a C# version, and MobilePush SDK is the only one you offer that lacks a C# version. 2) Also, it appears that MobilePush relies on the MarketingCloud SDK.

  • Thanks, @BillMote. How do I create a Voice of Customer request?

  • The MobilePush SDK relies on Google Play Services for Push Notifications. It also relies on Google Play Services for geolocation services. The MobilePush SDK relies on AltBeacon for Beacon Messaging. The MobilePush SDK does NOT rely on any other SDKs. I do not know how to create a Voice of Customer request, but your account executive should know how to accomplish this.
