Developping an MvvmCross application targeting Android and iOS (Xamarin/Mono) and Windows Store (because it's so easy/fast to debug compared to iOS/Android).
The Core of the app is PCL based.
Is it possible to use Async/Await in the Core library?
Xamarin mono supports Async/Await, and Windows Store supports it. However, when selecting only Net4.5, Windows Store, Mono Android and MonoTouch as the PCL targets, SL4 and WP7.5 get automatically selected and Async/Await is not availlable anymore.
The latest I have is: TPL on PCL of mvvmcross
But PCL support from Xamarin has officially launched in the last week - so the latest I have is be out of date. Miguel has promised a blog post on the current status when he returns from Build.
Also, I have seen user comments like "I'm using asyncbridge and profile47 with heavily usage of async inside PCL. Works perfect on iOs and Android, with MvvmCross events it looks like a magic" from http://forums.xamarin.com/discussion/comment/18872/#Comment_18872 - would love to see this more fully blogged, explained, documented by those who have it working.
asyncare in the Beta stage and don't work well together. However, I'm hoping that Xamarin/Microsoft will announce something like this at Microsoft's Build conference (starting tomorrow). – Stephen Cleary
