Three months ago, we covered .NET 11 Preview 1 – and the headline was hard to ignore: Android CoreCLR as the default runtime, promising up to 20% faster app startup. It was bold, ambitious, and came with a fair share of "handle with care" warnings. We said it then: brilliant playground, not production territory. Preview 5 is a different story. Released on June 9 2026, this is the last major preview before the Release Candidate. At this point, the .NET team isn't experimenting

Apple spent three years promising a smarter Siri. Three years of keynotes, teaser slides, and carefully worded "coming soon" disclaimers. At WWDC 2026, the waiting was finally over. On June 8, the company unveiled what may be its most consequential software release in years: a completely rebuilt Siri, a new generation of Apple Intelligence, iOS 27 with serious performance gains, and macOS Golden Gate – the first macOS version to leave Intel Macs behind for good. The keynote a

The loop closed itself. If that sounds like something from a talk you'd half-believe, well – it shipped in Flutter 3.44 and Dart 3.12. Announced at Google I/O 2026 under the theme "Everywhere, everyday, built by everyone, for everyone", this release doesn't feel like a routine quarterly dro

Google I/O 2026 opened with a single sentence from Sundar Pichai: "We are firmly in our agentic Gemini era." No build-up, no warm-up. Just a declaration. The conference took place on May 19–20 at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California. Two days, 85+ sessions, and over 50 announcements spanning AI models, Android, developer tools, and hardware. By any measure – one of the most packed I/O events in years. But the volume of announcements isn't what made this one

Every March, the game development world gathers at the Game Developers Conference – one of the largest and most influential professional events in the industry. GDC 2026 was no exception: thousands of sessions, dozens of major announcements, and one clear market signal – technologies once considered exclusively "gaming" are steadily moving into mainstream development. Mobile development has long stopped being its own isolated island – AI tools, cross-platform frameworks, and

Imagine your smartphone is no longer just a screen with icons, but a physically responsive companion capable of tracking your every gaze. MWC 2026 has officially blurred the line between sci-fi and production-ready code by introducing devices that redefine the core of mobile UX. This breakdown is your essential guide to navigating a world where hardware has finally learned to "sense" the user. Forget traditional mobile interfaces – the era of autonomous AI agents and next lev

The Flutter ecosystem continues to evolve toward greater maturity and predictability. The latest releases – Flutter 3.41 and Dart 3.11 – do not introduce groundbreaking language features or architectural shifts, but they significantly improve developer tooling, performance, and overall stability.

Hi everyone! A while ago, one of my clients sent me an email with the request. He wanted to implement a real online chat into the app. He suggested using Intercom, as that solution has been already used on their website. However, we faced the problem: Intercom doesn’t have a package for both Xamarin Native and Xamarin Forms. I decided to investigate the solutions, which the Xamarin community provides. I found a couple of options, but none of them were for Xamarin Forms. Mor
