Hi guys,
At my company we are building over 100 Xamarin Forms apps to use in-house. All the apps are used for data collection and share a lot of the same functionality and UI logic. We have built 10 apps and from this point on, we will be doing a lot of copying and pasting. But I had an idea. It would be really cool if we could create a tool like AppMap from Infragistics that would let us create a lot of these apps by simply dragging and dropping them then connecting the sequences. But I’m not really sure how to start something like this. Does anyone know what kind of thing I should be researching?
Look up “app generators”. You probably don’t need to create a true “drag drop” interface for it, some of my previous workplace managed them with simple scripts (eg, it declared that a barcode scan in a page X will either trigger a data search or data input). I saw one that use true drag drop UI, but it was mostly used for client demo (because the client is expected to customize the app themselves), and in the back end it’s using the same script. We deployed identical assemblies, while the logo, flow and DB are taken from a zip file containing the scripts and other resources.
