Hello,
I have a cross-platform forms app (iOS and Android) which provides a specific service. This service code is in PCL part of the project and I want to use it on web client as well using my app as server. Is there a way to implement TCP server in the app which listens to incoming connections and provides with the service.
Do I have to use platform specific background services to run TCPListener? The server should only be running when the app is in foreground.
I have tried to look for answers over forums and got bits and pieces.
All I need right now is right direction to go to:
(Can't post links as I am new here)
StackOverflow: [Server Client Application with .NET and Xamarin]
StackOverflow: [Xamarin.Forms Background Thread]
Xamarin Components: [Sockets PCL Plugin]
Any kind of help is highly appreciated.
Cheers.
