##Sport v2 compatible with the new Azure App Services I'm posting a very early build of Sport v2 that connects to Azure App Services and uses the latest of all libraries/SDKs. I have not done a super thorough job of testing yet so please keep that in mind. This includes a lot of changes to both the front and back ends.
Changes include:
Updated to Forms 2.3 Azure App Service support Converted to use PCL instead of Shared Projects Local data store now uses Azure Offline Sync Other various updates to support the latest from 3rd party frameworks/libs https://www.dropbox.com/s/o2jeeq1ioowlrhh/Xamarin%20Sport2.0.zip?dl=0
Sport is a Xamarin.Forms app initially built for Xamarin employees as a way to facilitate leaderboards for a few ping-pong tables and darts we have around the office. Athletes can join leagues, get ranked and challenge other athletes to move up the ladder. As of 8/30/2015, Sport features 93.6% code share (3.3% iOS / 3.1% Android).
This is an example of an iOS athlete and an Android athlete conducting a challenge
