UPDATE:
We are fully committed to XAF and are continuing to evolve its capabilities. For those targeting Web browsers & Mobile devices, we have chosen to focus our efforts on a new UI powered by Microsoft Blazor.
========================================================
The eXpressApp Framework (XAF) team has been
working hard to add a mobile UI option to your existing or new projects and we
are ready for the first public preview. This new feature will let you easily create iOS and Android apps in addition to WinForms and ASP.NET UI options
already available to you. The mobile apps will reuse the database, as well as
certain aspects of the data model, application logic and UI settings of your
existing XAF applications. This will help you avoid all the routine work
that would take days or weeks of development efforts if building those mobile
apps from scratch.
We’ve already shown this functionality to a
small group of XAF developers at the end of last year and got lots of useful
feedback. The team has fixed issues and incorporated a number of
improvements and we now feel that the framework is ready to go
public.
Certain aspects of the new functionality will change and we'd like to think that your feedback will play an important role in that. Please use
the resources in this email to evaluate the new features and share your opinion with us.
Review the Demo App
Start your evaluation by reviewing
a sample mobile application hosted on Azure. Either use the browser-based
simulator or try it on your smartphone by simply scanning the QR code.

Build a Mobile App Yourself
We encourage you to follow the tutorial below to create a mobile app
based on your own XAF solution. The article uses the Project Manager demo as an example, but you can apply the
same steps to any XAF project.
