AppCenter logger provider implementation for Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.

AppCenter Logger

A Microsoft AppCenter logger provider implementation for Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.

Visual Studio App Center is the next generation of Xamarin Test Cloud, and includes all the functionality of Xamarin Test Cloud and more. This logger is intended to be used in Xamarin.Forms projects that make use of Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting to manage basic app functions like logging, DI, and configuration. See here for more information regarding .NET Generic Host.

This package uses dependency injection from Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection to handle the logger injection. Here is a link where you can read more about Microsoft's DI.

To add a provider, call the provider's Add{provider name} extension method.

Example Usage

    var host = new HostBuilder()
        .ConfigureLogging((hostContext, logging) =>
        {
            logging.AddAppCenter(options => options.AppCenterIosSecret == "<Your AppCenter iOS Secret>");
        })

Above we use a Generic HostBuilder to add in our logger implementation and specify an iOS secret (obtained from AppCenter). Add least one iOS, Android, or UWP secret needs to be specified in the options.
