During last years development frameworks have emerged to make easier the development and maintenance of cross-platform mobile applications. Xamarin framework is one of them: it takes as input an app written in C# and produces native code for Android, iOS and Windows Mobile platforms. When using Xamarin, developers can meet errors, identified with codes, thrown by the framework.Unfortunately, the Xamarin official documentation does not provide a complete description, solution or workaround for all those codes.In this paper, we analyze two sites of questions and answers related to Xamarin for finding questions that mention those error codes. We found in both sites that there are questions written by developers asking about Xamarin errors, and the majority of them have at least one answer. Our intuition is this discovered information could be useful for giving support to Xamarin developers.
翻译:过去几年间,出现了一些发展框架,以方便跨平台移动应用程序的开发和维护。 Xamarin 框架是其中之一: 将C# 中的应用程序作为输入, 并为Android、 iOS 和 Windows Mobile 平台生成本地代码。 当开发者使用 Xamarin 时, 开发者可以遇到错误, 使用框架推出的代码识别错误 。 不幸的是, Xamarin 官方文件无法提供所有这些代码的完整描述、 解决方案或工作选择 。 在本文中, 我们分析了与 Xamarin 相关的两个问答站点, 以查找提到错误代码的问题 。 我们在这两个站点发现, 开发者提出了有关 Xamarin 错误的问题, 其中大多数答案至少只有一个。 我们的直觉发现信息对于支持 Xamarin 开发者可能有用 。
