PushSharp

We have observed something strange in our Apple Push Notification Service (development) powered by PushSharp framework. This was working fine and all of sudden it's stopped working but the production environment working well. We tried to decode the error messages, checked the certificates, app signing certificates etc. After spending so much of time in developer forums, JabR chat room for PushSharp, noticed a new pull request https://github.com/Redth/PushSharp/pull/369 from one of the developers claiming Apple Server has changed the security protocol to TLS from SSL3. The pull request is working fine and our development environment started working again. This is quite strange and frustrating and in my understanding the registered developers are not notified with this change? Have you faced same problem?

The Alt.Net movement is a powerful force; always looking for better ways of doing things no matter where that alternative might come from. So if it's something new from Microsoft, that's great - if it's an approach from the open source world or an alternate language or somewhere else entirely then that's great too. Xamarin deserves particular mention as the ability to share 80-90% of your core codebase between all mobile phone platforms is just stellar. It makes absolutely no business sense to re-write your core business logic for each platform and in that platforms language. So much less project risk, merge three/four code bases into one. Do it once then implement native UI's for each platform and bind back to the core library? Spot a problem in the core library on iOS? Android gets the hotfix for free. Just ask Rdio ;-) Other hotness: -
