  Handling push notifications in Flutter with Firebase

  Handling push notifications is not a straightforward task, unfortunately. So if you want to handle push notifications in iOS and Android there are a few factors to consider in Flutter, namely:

  • Is the app in the foreground or background?
  • If in the background, is the app in a running or terminated state?

  These scenarios require specific handling in Flutter depending on the platform.

  How to use an IValueConverter to convert a value not on the view model

  In Make conversion code reusable in Xamarin.Forms I expain how to convert an SVG path (stored in a resource file in this case) to the Data property of a Path view.

  Xamarin.Forms AppThemeBinding markup extension

  I really like the new AppThemeBinding markup extension in Xamarin.Forms to easily handle Dark and Light modes on the mobile device. It can be used in combination with the StaticResource markup extension.
