Errors Message after migration to unified API - ios

I just migrate my Xamarin iOS app to Xamarin Unified using the Migration Tool. The code below was working fine and the app didn’t have any error or warning before the migration. After the migration I got the following errors Error-1 PresentViewController doesn’t accept the MediaPickerController object as a parameter. Error-2 mediaPickerController doesn’t have the method DismissViewController
protected void TakePicture()
{
MediaPickerController mediaPickerController = mediaPicker.GetTakePhotoUI(new StoreCameraMediaOptions
{
Name = this.PictureName + ".jpg",
DefaultCamera = CameraDevice.Rear
});
if (!mediaPicker.IsCameraAvailable)
{
ShowUnsupported();
}
//Error-1
PresentViewController(mediaPickerController, true, null);
try
{
mediaPickerController.GetResultAsync().ContinueWith(t =>
{
BTProgressHUD.Show("Processing");
// Dismiss the UI yourself
//Error-2
mediaPickerController.DismissViewController(true, () =>
{
if (t.IsCanceled || t.IsFaulted)
{
BTProgressHUD.Dismiss();
return;
}
MediaFile file = t.Result;
FinishedPickingMedia(file);
BTProgressHUD.Dismiss();
});
}, TaskScheduler.FromCurrentSynchronizationContext());
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Insights.Report(ex, ReportSeverity.Error);
}
}

You need to update your Xamarin component that contains MediaPickerController to the latest version compatible with Xamarin.iOS unified code!
The latest version of Xamarin.Mobile is 0.7.6. Double check with your project if your are using an older one.

xamarin.forms application not running on ios simulator

I am working on Xamarin.Forms app and it's working perfectly fine on Android device. Anyway, when I am trying to run it on iPhone simulator it's just showing the main screen of the app, but none of the features are working.
The main screen consists of two parts of which one is to browse and open files and the other is to open a menu. The layout consists of Browse, process and exit buttons and when I click on the browse button to open file explorer an alert is displayed, that something went wrong.
I enabled breakpoints and tried debugging it, but the control is going to catch exception part directly.
Here is the code for it can anyone please help me with this part? I am using Xamarin.Plugin.Filepicker NuGet package. When I place the cursor on the Exception I can see that
System.NotImplemented Exception:This functionality is not implemented in the portable version of this assembly,you should reference the NuGet Package from your main application project in order to reference the platform specific
and the code is
private Plugin.FilePicker.Abstractions.FileData file =
default(Plugin.FilePicker.Abstractions.FileData);
public async void OnBrowse(object o, EventArgs args)
{
try
{
// var file_path =
this.file = await CrossFilePicker.Current.PickFile();
if (this.file == null)
{
return;
}
string extensionType = this.file.FileName.Substring(
this.file.FileName.LastIndexOf(".",
StringComparison.Ordinal) + 1,
this.file.FileName.Length -
this.file.FileName.LastIndexOf(".", StringComparison.Ordinal) -
1).ToLower();
fileName = this.file.FileName;
if (extensionType.Equals("csv"))
{
csv_file.Text = (fileName);
}
else
{
await this.DisplayAlert("Name of the file:" + file.FileName, "File info", "OK");
}
if (SettingsPage.loggingEnabled)
{
LogUtilPage.Initialize("/storage/emulated/0");
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
await DisplayAlert("Alert", "Something went wrong", "OK");
if (SettingsPage.loggingEnabled)
{
LogUtilPage.Log(e.Message);
}
}
}

NFCTagReader iOS Not hitting didDetect method

Im doing a POC of implementing the NFCTagReader into a xamarin.ios app.
https://developer.xamarin.com/samples/monotouch/ios11/NFCTagReader/
I've taken the NFCTagReader from the xamarin site and set all the appropriate provision settings to get access to the tag reader. The problem is that when i click scan the "Ready to Scan" window pops up as expected then i scan a tag and it shows the little tick on the screen to show that it found but it never breaks into the DidDetect method of my code in the delegate. It will hit the DidInvalidate method and give the code for ReaderSessionInvalidationErrorUserCanceled.
Any ideas what i'm missing. Following is my code snippet:
partial void Scan(UIBarButtonItem sender)
{
InvokeOnMainThread(() =>
{
Session = new NFCNdefReaderSession(this, null, true);
if (Session != null)
{
Session.BeginSession();
}
});
}
#endregion
#region NFCNDEFReaderSessionDelegate
public void DidDetect(NFCNdefReaderSession session, NFCNdefMessage[] messages)
{
foreach (NFCNdefMessage msg in messages)
{
DetectedMessages.Add(msg);
}
DispatchQueue.MainQueue.DispatchAsync(() =>
{
this.TableView.ReloadData();
});
}
public void DidInvalidate(NFCNdefReaderSession session, NSError error)
{
var readerError = (NFCReaderError)(long)error.Code;
if (readerError != NFCReaderError.ReaderSessionInvalidationErrorFirstNDEFTagRead &&
readerError != NFCReaderError.ReaderSessionInvalidationErrorUserCanceled)
{
InvokeOnMainThread(() =>
{
var alertController = UIAlertController.Create("Session Invalidated", error.LocalizedDescription, UIAlertControllerStyle.Alert);
alertController.AddAction(UIAlertAction.Create("Ok", UIAlertActionStyle.Default, null));
DispatchQueue.MainQueue.DispatchAsync(() =>
{
this.PresentViewController(alertController, true, null);
});
});
}
}
Little bit of a blonde moment and was just going to close this question but thought would answer this just in case someone else comes across the same problem as I did.
The problem ended up being caused by the fact that the tags that I was given were blank. Therefore the phone would click when it detected the tag but would never hit the didDetect method. As soon as I wrote something to the NFC tag with an Android tag writer app then DidDetect fired as expected.

Xamarin Mobile MediaPickerController Error after Migration to Unified API

I just migrate my Xamarin iOS app to Xamarin Unified using the Migration Tool.
The code below was working fine and the app didn’t have any error or warning before the migration.
After the migration I got the following errors
Error-1
PresentViewController doesn’t accept the MediaPickerController object as a parameter.
Error-2
mediaPickerController doesn’t have the method DismissViewController
protected void TakePicture()
{
MediaPickerController mediaPickerController = mediaPicker.GetTakePhotoUI(new StoreCameraMediaOptions
{
Name = this.PictureName + ".jpg",
DefaultCamera = CameraDevice.Rear
});
if (!mediaPicker.IsCameraAvailable)
{
ShowUnsupported();
}
//Error-1
PresentViewController(mediaPickerController, true, null);
try
{
mediaPickerController.GetResultAsync().ContinueWith(t =>
{
BTProgressHUD.Show("Processing");
// Dismiss the UI yourself
//Error-2
mediaPickerController.DismissViewController(true, () =>
{
if (t.IsCanceled || t.IsFaulted)
{
BTProgressHUD.Dismiss();
return;
}
MediaFile file = t.Result;
FinishedPickingMedia(file);
BTProgressHUD.Dismiss();
});
}, TaskScheduler.FromCurrentSynchronizationContext());
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Insights.Report(ex, ReportSeverity.Error);
}
}
Download the latest Xamarin.Mobile dll from here https://components.xamarin.com/view/xamarin.mobile and reference the lib/ios-unified/Xamarin.Mobile.dll instead of the old dll.
This will fix the errors.

cordova 2.9.x iOS 8 userAgent bug

I am using Cordova 2.9.0 with phonegap to build an iOS app.
With iOS 8, I am getting error messages of
Deprecated attempt to access property 'geolocation' on a non-Navigator object.
Deprecated attempt to access property 'userAgent' on a non-Navigator object
I tried EddyVerbruggen's solution
https://gist.github.com/EddyVerbruggen/cd02c73162180793513e
But, I am getting those error messages from Cordova
Also, when my application loads completely, I have no problem using
window.navigator.userAgent
Fist of all, it seems just a warning and the apps work fine.
They have been fixed this and I suposse it will be available soon, but for people using cordova 2.9.X, we have to change the replaceNavigator function to be like this on the cordova.js file (the whole else is new)
function replaceNavigator(origNavigator) {
var CordovaNavigator = function() {};
CordovaNavigator.prototype = origNavigator;
var newNavigator = new CordovaNavigator();
// This work-around really only applies to new APIs that are newer than Function.bind.
// Without it, APIs such as getGamepads() break.
if (CordovaNavigator.bind) {
for (var key in origNavigator) {
if (typeof origNavigator[key] == 'function') {
newNavigator[key] = origNavigator[key].bind(origNavigator);
} else {
(function(k) {
Object.defineProperty(newNavigator, k, {
get: function() {
return origNavigator[k];
},
configurable: true,
enumerable: true
});
})(key);
}
}
}
return newNavigator;
}

Dart exception when upgrading IndexedDB

I get an exception when i try to upgrade my indexedDB database with a higher version then the browser currently has,
but the funny part abort is that, it gets upgraded. Is this by design or have i done something wrong.
I got very inspired from the dart sample Todo, so my code ended up looking like this.
void open_db(String DB_name, int Version, String Store_Name){
var request = window.indexedDB.open(DB_name, Version);
request.on.success.add((e) => _onDbOpened(request.result));
request.on.error.add((e) => print("Error opening db"));
request.on.upgradeNeeded.add((e) => _onUpgradeNeeded(request.transaction, Store_Name));
}
void _onDbOpened(IDBDatabase db){
_db = db;
print("DB opened");
}
void _onUpgradeNeeded(IDBTransaction changeVersionTransaction, String Store_Name){
changeVersionTransaction.on.error.add((e) => print("Error upgrading db"));
changeVersionTransaction.on.complete.add((e) => print("Success upgrading db"));
changeVersionTransaction.db.createObjectStore(Store_Name);
}
When I run this with version=4 and the browser only have version=3, then it jumps to _onUpgradeNeeded as expected, but I get an IDBDatabaseException with message: "ConstraintError: DOM IDBDatabase Exception 4".
So where is it I go wrong?
Thanks for your question!
You may need to check if the store exists first.
if (db.objectStoreNames.indexOf(storeName) == -1) {
db.createObjectStore(storeName);
}
Here is some code to update your IndexedDB database, using Dart. Note, this compensates for the two ways to upgrade (an old way that Chrome used, and the new way that Firefox and newer versions of Chrome use)
_openDb(afterOpen()) {
var request = window.indexedDB.open(DB_NAME, VERSION);
if (request is IDBOpenDBRequest) {
// New upgrade protocol. FireFox 15, Chrome 24, hopefully IE10.
request.on.success.add(expectAsync1((e) {
db = e.target.result;
afterOpen();
}));
request.on.upgradeNeeded.add((e) {
guardAsync(() {
_createObjectStore(e.target.result);
});
});
request.on.error.add(fail('open'));
} else {
// Legacy setVersion upgrade protocol. Chrome < 23.
request.on.success.add(expectAsync1((e) {
db = e.target.result;
if (db.version != '$VERSION') {
var setRequest = db.setVersion('$VERSION');
setRequest.on.success.add(
expectAsync1((e) {
_createObjectStore(db);
var transaction = e.target.result;
transaction.on.complete.add(
expectAsync1((e) => afterOpen()));
transaction.on.error.add(fail('Upgrade'));
}));
setRequest.on.error.add(fail('setVersion error'));
} else {
afterOpen();
}
}));
request.on.error.add(fail('open'));
}
}
_createObjectStore(db) {
try {
// Nuke object store if it already exists.
db.deleteObjectStore(STORE_NAME);
}
on IDBDatabaseException catch(e) { } // Chrome
on DOMException catch(e) { } // Firefox
db.createObjectStore(STORE_NAME);
}
Note, this code is from this test: http://code.google.com/p/dart/source/browse/trunk/dart/tests/html/indexeddb_3_test.dart
