To make purchases from the App Store, iTunes Store, or Apple Books,or buy iCloud storage, you need an Apple ID and a valid payment method.

You can typically use these methods with your Apple ID:

• Apple Pay (where available)
• Most credit and debit cards
• Store credit, from redeeming gift cards or from adding funds to your Apple ID
• Country-specific or region-specific additional methods

If you can't make purchases or update apps, including free apps, you need to update your payment method or add a new one. If you already verified that a payment method is available in your country or region and you're still having trouble, learn more.

In this quickstart, you will learn how to:

• Create a cross-platform Xamarin.Forms application.
• Define the user interface for a page using eXtensible Application Markup Language (XAML).
• Interact with XAML user interface elements from code.

The quickstart walks through how to create a cross-platform Xamarin.Forms application, which enables you to enter a note and persist it to device storage. The final application is shown below:

Prerequisites

• Visual Studio 2019 (latest release), with the Mobile development with .NET workload installed.
• Knowledge of C#.
• (optional) A paired Mac to build the application on iOS.

For more information about these prerequisites, see Installing Xamarin. For information about connecting Visual Studio 2019 to a Mac build host, see Pair to Mac for Xamarin.iOS development.

Get started with Visual Studio 2019

1. Launch Visual Studio 2019, and in the start window click Create a new project to create a new project:

2. In the Create a new project window, select Mobile in the Project type drop down, select the Mobile App (Xamarin.Forms) template, and click the Next button:

3. In the Configure your new project window, set the Project name to Notes, choose a suitable location for the project, and click the Create button:

   Important

   The C# and XAML snippets in this quickstart requires that the solution is named Notes. Using a different name will result in build errors when you copy code from this quickstart into the solution.

4. In the New Cross Platform App dialog, click Blank App, and click the OK button:

   For more information about the .NET Standard library that gets created, see Anatomy of a Xamarin.Forms application in the Xamarin.Forms Quickstart Deep Dive.

5. In Solution Explorer, in the Notes project, double-click MainPage.xaml to open it:

6. In MainPage.xaml, remove all of the template code and replace it with the following code:

   This code declaratively defines the user interface for the page, which consists of a Label to display text, an Editor for text input, and two Button instances that direct the application to save or delete a file. The two Button instances are horizontally laid out in a Grid, with the Label, Editor, and Grid being vertically laid out in a StackLayout. For more information about creating the user interface, see User interface in the Xamarin.Forms Quickstart Deep Dive.

   Save the changes to MainPage.xaml by pressing CTRL+S, and close the file.

7. In Solution Explorer, in the Notes project, expand MainPage.xaml and double-click MainPage.xaml.cs to open it:

8. In MainPage.xaml.cs, remove all of the template code and replace it with the following code:

   This code defines a _fileName field, which references a file named notes.txt that will store note data in the local application data folder for the application. When the page constructor is executed the file is read, if it exists, and displayed in the Editor. When the SaveButton is pressed the OnSaveButtonClicked event handler is executed, which saves the content of the Editor to the file. When the DeleteButton is pressed the OnDeleteButtonClicked event handler is executed, which deletes the file, provided that it exists, and removes any text from the Editor. For more information about user interaction, see Responding to user interaction in the Xamarin.Forms Quickstart Deep Dive.

   Save the changes to MainPage.xaml.cs by pressing CTRL+S, and close the file.

Building the quickstart

1. In Visual Studio, select the Build > Build Solution menu item (or press F6). The solution will build and a success message will appear in the Visual Studio status bar:

   If there are errors, repeat the previous steps and correct any mistakes until the solution builds successfully.

2. In the Visual Studio toolbar, press the Start button (the triangular button that resembles a Play button) to launch the application in your chosen Android emulator:

   Enter a note and press the Save button.

   For more information about how the application is launched on each platform, see Launching the application on each platform in the Xamarin.Forms Quickstart Deep Dive.

   Note

   The following steps should only be carried out if you have a paired Mac that meets the system requirements for Xamarin.Forms development.

3. In the Visual Studio toolbar, right-click on the Notes.iOS project, and select Set as StartUp Project.

4. In the Visual Studio toolbar, press the Start button (the triangular button that resembles a Play button) to launch the application in your chosen iOS remote simulator:

   Enter a note and press the Save button.

   For more information about how the application is launched on each platform, see Launching the application on each platform in the Xamarin.Forms Quickstart Deep Dive.

   Xbox video app for mac. For most shows, updates occur the day after an episode airs, though some exceptions apply, depending on the show’s digital release date (the date that a network makes aired content available in digital format). If you purchased individual episodes prior to purchasing a Season Pass, you will not receive a refund for such episodes. Sometimes networks do not release digital versions of episodes until after the entire season airs, or later.
