A collection of open-source Xamarin plugins and bindings for third-party mobile libraries, now unsupported.
XamarinComponents is a collection of open-source plugins and bindings for Xamarin, enabling integration with third-party mobile libraries and services. It provides pre-built components to extend Xamarin.Android and Xamarin.iOS applications with external SDKs. However, the repository is now unsupported and unmaintained, with many bindings moved to other official repositories.
Xamarin developers needing integrations with specific third-party mobile libraries or services, particularly those working on cross-platform iOS and Android apps.
It offers ready-to-use bindings and plugins that save development time by providing pre-integrated solutions for popular mobile SDKs. As an open-source collection, it historically benefited from community contributions and examples.
Plugins for Xamarin
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Provides pre-built bindings for various third-party mobile SDKs like ARCore, saving significant development time by handling native integration complexities.
Includes sample applications that demonstrate practical usage, offering valuable insights into Xamarin binding techniques and implementation patterns.
Components are packaged as NuGet, enabling easy dependency management and seamless integration into existing .NET projects.
Serves as a useful archive for legacy Xamarin projects, providing code examples and bindings that might not be available elsewhere.
The repository is explicitly marked as unsupported, meaning no updates, bug fixes, or security patches, posing risks for long-term project viability.
Requires installing .NET Core, the Cake tool, and on macOS CocoaPods, with multi-step command-line builds, making setup and compilation cumbersome.
With the shift to .NET MAUI, many bindings are deprecated and lack compatibility with newer mobile development trends and SDK versions.
