We have a Mono console application running on the Tizen emulator, built within MonoDevelop and running with the Mono SoftDebugger attached. The new MonoDevelop.Tizen add-in was modeled after the bit-rotted MeeGo add-in.
Congratulations to Damien Diederen who did nearly all of the work. Many thanks to everyone who has contributed to the Mono Project over the years, and who have built the fabulous technology foundation which made this possible.
Here is what it looks like …
We have been working on refreshing our bit-rotted HelloTizen example, but that initial convenient OSP support will not be completed in time for the MonoTizen-1.0.0 release. If will come very soon afterwards – probably as a MonoTizen-1.1.0 release to ship alongside Mono-3.6.1.
That is not to say that you cannot build an OSP application with MonoTizen-1.0.0. You can, it just won’t be a very pleasant experience yet. You will just have to do the native interop yourself.
We will get the HelloTizen application submitted to the Tizen Store, so we’ve actually gone end-to-end and “flushed the pipe”. We will also see whether there are any compliance concerns from Samsung with the generated .TPK file.
Here are the detailed daily progress reports which Damien put together:
Aims for MonoTizen Week #4
The primary aim for the week ahead is to ship MonoTizen-1.0.0 in advance of the Tizen Russia Developer Summit and Hackathon (#TDSR14), starting on Thursday 10th July in Moscow.
The pending Mono-3.6.0 release appears on track for release early next week. We are aiming to release ARM and x86 RPMs for Tizen on the same day as Xamarin release their binaries for the existing platforms.
Samsung Z is now available in the Samsung Remote Test Lab, so we will be able to test our binaries on device. Hurrah!
