Using Sinch with Xamarin

Question

I'm targetting iOS and Android platforms for a messaging application.

I want to use voice and messaging features of the sdk.

Are there any bindings available for sinch sdk for xamarin?

Answer 1

Sinch has a C# wrapper for sending SMS via their REST interface. It is available via a Nuget (Sinch.SMS) and/or you can grab the code on Github; https://github.com/sinch/Sinch.SMS

i.e. (from their hello world example):

To send an SMS use:

var client = new Sinch.SMS.Client("yourkey", "yoursecret");
var messageid = await client.SendSMS("+46722223355", "hello from sinch");

To check a status of an SMS use:

var client = new Sinch.SMS.Client("yourkey", "yoursecret");
var result = await client.CheckStatus(messageid);

As far as a complete SDK bindings for their Android/iOS SDKs, I do not know of one personally.

I 'just' would import them into XStudio and convert their sample call apps and give it a try. Should not take very long to see if the auto-wrappers work. Otherwise you would have manually correct/write the C# bindings to their 'native' lib

Here are some Xamarin binding libraries available on nuget. They are by a Vietnamese Software Development company called NAXAM. I believe these are all open source, and published on their github here: https://github.com/NAXAM
