Hi, I want to replicate the effect from the Apple Watch home menu, basically a 2d grid of cells where the cells get scaled based on their position.
I'm having a hard time figuring out how to actually get the scrollable grid done, any help would be appreciated!

Picture for Android splash screen
I made an image for a splash screen for the Android project of my Xamarin Forms solution:
The first time I ran the project, the picture looked fine. Now, it's distorted:
How did this happen? I've looked at quite a few articles on making a splash screen, and don't see much on how to make the image.

iOS instructions via USB
Hello,
Is is possible to send instructions directly to iOS via USB from a C# desktop application? I am planning to build a maintenance tool and the closest I got in finding any documentation is a blog post on thecodewash.blogspot, entitled "Communicating with your iOS app over USB". It is not exactly what I need but it get's me a little bit closer.
Kind regards,
Andrei

Static classes sometimes gets unloaded ?
Hi there,
I often use a static class like a "global" placeholder for values and classes. This could fx. contain the current logged in users class, and other information.
When the app first starts, I make sure all variables are loaded and initialised, in this case fx. the CurrentUser class is loaded and added to the static class.
As its a static class, I more or less rely on it being there always, so I just reference it like "GlobalClass.CurrentUser" from anywhere in the app.
But sometimes, mostly when coming back to the app, I see that the "GlobalClass" has been unloaded and then being loaded again, due to the nature of accessing a static class - but as I rely on the static class to "live" forever inside my app, I only initialise it when the app starts the first time - so now the "GlobalClass" are instantiated again and exists, but it has lost all of its data and settings (as I do not initialise variables, as I do when the app starts the first time)
I first saw this starting to happen on an Xamarin Android app a few months ago, but now I see iOS users facing the same issue.
Any idea what is going on ?
Why are static classes not persisted 100% thru the entire app lifespan ?

Login Using Wordpress Rest Api or Something similar
Hi.
I'm trying to interrogate a Word-press login to my xamarin Forms application I'm not finding anything useful in regards to this.
I'm wondering if someone might know of something.
This is just a requirement one I don't agree with but yeah Basically Client logs in -> Shops -> Orders(Order Places with Users Email/LoginName)
And that's that. No registration just a simple login check.

Read/Write a file in a shared project
I have a project that is shared between .Net Core, IOS, and Android. In the shared project, using NetStandard, I have several text files that are embedded resources. I can use the following code to read the resources
Stream stream = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream(file);
string contents = "";
using (var reader = new System.IO.StreamReader(stream))
contents = reader.ReadToEnd();
But now, I want to be able to update those text files (from data from a server) without having to update the App on the play stores. Unfortunately, it appears that updating a resource file is not possible. Is there another way of being able to distribute a plain text file in a shared project with the application, but then to be also able to overwrite it or change its contents?

In iOS App is not closing properly between each test cases
After upgrading xamarin ui test, while running automation in iOS - app is not closing properly between each test cases.
Scenario
we have single app, with different content page - each case will check different content page.
For example, Test step of Test Case -1 has been done on content page-1. without closing content page-1 , test case - 2 operations are done on the same content page(content page-1). but i need the simulator to close the app(content page-1) and open the content page-2 to do test step of Test case-2. Due to this expect first test case, rest of the test cases are getting failed 
. any solution please. Thanks in advance.

Will changing the property value bound to an AutomationID change it?
I know that this limitation has existed in the past but I want to ask the question again after the project I am working has recently upgraded to XF4.3. I believe that the automationIDs are set at compile time? My question is that if I bind that AutomationId to a string property which is equal to "Foo", if while the application is running that string value is changed to "Bar", will the AutomationId of the XAML element also change?

MacBook Pro Experiences
I wonder about your MacBook model for Xamarin. What do you think about what should be a minimum MacBook pro model to develop Xamarin apps? I don't have so much patience. I mean, build and run time is important. What is your experience with your mac device?

Progressive Web Apps vs Xamarin
My company is at the moment debating to ditch Xamarin development in favor of Progressive Web Apps. What would be Xamarin's pitch for my company's board? Their main argument is bypassing the painful apple app store, better visibility on the web and of course write once deploy everywhere including the website.
Any thoughts?

One project customizable for many clients
Hi,
I need to have a single customizable application for many clients, if is possible changing the configuration.. something like android flavours or ios target.
At the moment I have a core project with the buisness logic and 1 xamarin form project foreach client that contains views, resx and resource. A lot of views are identical in each project so I'd like to move in core but i need to keep client's color, logo images ecc..
My gol should be a structure like this: 
And the configuration like this: 
Foreach client i need to have a different manifest with different package name..
All this also for ios
I read some post on the forum but I haven't find a good/working solution...
Thank's a lot!

A nuget installation (Automapper) in one project prevents a build in an IOs project
I installed Automapper via Nuget for my .Net Standard project, and no I find the IOs project does not build.
This is the message I get;
Multiple assemblies with equivalent identity have been imported:
'C:\Users\xxx.nuget\packages\system.reflection.emit\4.3.0\ref\netstandard1.1\System.Reflection.Emit.dll' and
'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\Common7\IDE\ReferenceAssemblies\Microsoft\Framework\Xamarin.iOS\v1.0\Facades\System.Reflection.Emit.dll'.
Remove one of the duplicate references. Sir.Mobile.iOS C:\Users\xxx\Documents\Visual Studio 2017\Projects\Sir.Mobile\Sir.Mobile\Sir.Mobile.iOS\CSC
The System.Reflection.Emit.dll is one of the Automapper dlls. I cannot find where it is referenced in the IOs project.
This is how the project looks in VS;
So how do I fix this?
