How to support TLS 1.2 for Xamarin Windows 8.1 and UWP platforms - xamarin

The current official Xamarin website only supports iOS and Android:
https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/cross-platform/transport-layer-security/
The same goes for ModernHttpClient PCL (iOS/Android only)
So is there anyway we can support TLS 1.2 for Windows 8.1 and UWP platforms? If Yes, please share and provided tutorial with source code
I am using Profile 111 for my PCL
Many thanks!

Xamarin is meant to cover iOS, Android and Mac. As long as you are working on a Windows based platform, you're working with Microsoft .Net. This means, there is no need for any additional tooling and no Xamarin/Mono involved here. As of .Net 4.6 (or was it 4.5 - I don't remember 100% sure) you'll get TLS 1.2 support.
The above is also true if you are using Xamarin.Forms to run your apps on Windows (Phone) 8.x or UWP.

Does Firebase Unity support Windows UWP or Windows 10 applications?

According to Unity documentation, unity supports Windows Applications (UWP) and Windows 10 applications, I just wonder that does the Firebase Unity support Windows Applications (UWP) and Windows 10 applications?
Thank you very much.
Most Firebase's Unity SDKs are wrappers around their Android and iOS SDKs, so will not work on other platforms.
Some of the Firebase Unity SDKs provide limited support for working on desktop environments, to simplify development and debugging of Android/iOS apps. See the documentation for a list of features that support this desktop workflow.
As far as I know, none of the Firebase Unity SDKs support running in UWP.
firebase works on windows and mac.
User authentication, real-time database, fire store, and storage are supported.

Xamarin.Forms UWP project wont install on windows 10 mobile

I am not able to install the appbundle file in windows phone 10
I have tried copying the file on device and also via the winappdeploycmd.exe tool
But nothing works!
If you use .Net Standard 2.0 and Xamarin.Forms 3.0 you can't install the app on Windows 10 Mobile, because .Net Standard 2.0 support was added with the Windows 10 v1709 Build 16299, but Microsoft never released that version for phones. They hang at lower feature2 branch with Build 15254.
So you have 2 options:
use PCL as shared code with Xamarin.Forms 2.5.1 and Min/TargetBuild 14393/15063 to serve both, Desktop/Tablets and phones
create separate brach/app with PCL for mobile (Min/TargetBuild 14393/15063) and 1 app for desktop which uses .net standard 2.0 (Min/TargetBuild 16299/16299) and latest Xamarin.Forms version.

Evernote.SDK is not compatible with UWP apps

I just signed up for an Evernote API key and downloaded the Evernote SDK for Windows in Visual Studio 2015 (suing NuGet) only to be told "Evernote.SDK 1.25.0 is not compatible with uap10.0".... so it seems it only supports .Net v4.0 which is very disappointing. I had a great idea for a UWP app that I wanted to synch to Evernote but I guess now I can't do it.
In case you're not aware UWP (Universal Windows Platform) is now the standard for developing current and future Windows 10 apps that run across all W10 devices. Can anyone at Evernote tell me if the SDK will support this and if so when? More people already use Windows 10 than use iOS (on PC's and tablets at least) so I really hope this platform will be supported in the very near future.
From the 1.25 version number you mention, it sounds like you're trying to grab the older C# SDK. You can try the newer SDK for Windows and see if that works.
If that NuGet package also doesn't work in your UWP environment, you should be able to grab the source from Github and put that in your VS solution.

Upgrade from Prism wp8.1 to Prism 6 UWP

I make WP for 8.1 application UWP. It uses the library of Prism.MVVM, Prism.StoreApps and Unity.
What library the new version should I download from Nuget (or compile from source) make everything work with minimal changes?
You can make a list of what methods/classes are named differently in the new version?
Sorry for my English (Bing Translate :-))
Prism 6 doesn't support WP 8.1. It only supports WPF, WIndows 10 UWP (Universal Windows Platfomrs), and Xamarin.Forms.

documents and sdks for windows phone 8 development

I'm starting to develop a player for windows phone 8. I have a login on appHub and can access docs and tools for WP7 development. It seems that there are some differences between WP8 and WP7, e.g., WinRT APIs are used instead of Silverlight for player development. I wonder whether the development documents and sdks for WP8 are available now. Where can I get them?
Right now you only have SDK for Microsoft Surface.. The SDK for WP8 is still not available
the sdk for wp8 is still not available hence you won't be able to get any material for those now.
you just have to wait.
you could still continue to develop for wp7 in the meantime and port it over to wp8 later on when the sdk is release.
You can now download the WP8 SDK and documentation here:
