Crossplatform gestures and 360 videos Touch management is handled quite differently on Android and iOS. Xamarin.Forms offers a nicely designed abstraction, inspired from the iOS APIs, which works across Android, iOS and UWP. Seek and volume Gestures can be useful to provide effective UX for seeking on videos and changing volume. Let’s see how we can implement exactly that. We need a view that receives touch and we will display information on which actions it takes depending on the gestures.

Click to watch the YouTube video: I had a colleague at a previous work place, which had made a Philips Hue light, light up red when our bamboo build of our Xamarin Apps was failing, light up green if everything was OK. This is a pretty good way to have a visual indicator in the entire team if something is being checked in which is failing our builds. I decided to give this a go as well. However, with a Micro Controller Unit (MCU) instead, since it costs much less than a Philips Hue setup and it will require less moving parts.
