Thank you all for reading, what do you think about the integration steps of Auth0 library in the Xamarin apps? Let us know in the comments below! ---

What about Xamarin Forms? About 2 years agor I worked for a client that used Auth0, but we used Xamarin Forms and it was quite painful to implement. Xamarin.Android and Xamarin.iOS are fine, but almost all new projects that I start are on Forms. ---

Hi @petvetbr, I’m not a Xamarin expert, but if you mean integrating Auth0 with native UI, it is not considered a best practice as far as I know. Check out [this article](https://auth0.com/blog/authentication-provider-best-practices-centralized-login/) for more info. ---

This is great. Thanks for taking the time to do this. It works off the bat 🙂 I don’t suppose there’s a Xamarin.forms example where the flow is triggered from a view in the shared project and handled in the appropriate native project as per your example? It’s rare that I would develop an application solely in either mobile architecture (android/ios) especially when using Xamarin. Most Xamarin devs i know use xamarin.forms where the ui is shared. Such an implementation example would be a massive help. Thanks again. ---

Thank you for a kind words, I am happy that you found it interesting. With reference to your question. Please take a look at this article I wrote (also on Auth0 blog): [Developing Mobile Apps with Xamarin Forms and Azure Functions](https://auth0.com/blog/developing-mobile-apps-with-xamarin-forms-and-azure-functions/?_ga=2.151920761.1324754865.1603996399-1207397565.1603996399) In this article I used Auth0 library together with Xamarin Forms application to call Azure Function (secured by Auth0 too). Please let me know if it helped you once you check it. Fingers crossed! ---

Thank you for the comment. Did you try to look at my another article below? I used Xamarin Forms together with Auth0 library and it worked without bigger issues.
