Xamarin.Android is a platform that allows developers to create Android applications on a Windows machine. While use of the platform itself is free, your organization will need a Xamarin subscription to develop your Android applications in Visual Studio. To find more information on purchasing a Xamarin subscription, click here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/android/deploy-test/publishing/publishing-independently. To download Xamarin.Android for Windows, click: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/android/get-started/installation/windows
Unlike traditional external applications that use IOM.dll to connect and execute commands against Aras Innovator, Android applications require the IOM.Android.dll to execute commands to connect to Aras Innovator. This DLL file is located in the \Utilities\Aras Innovator <Version> IOM SDK\COM\Android directory on the CD Image. You can copy it to another location and reference it by an Android project.
