Version 1.2 focused heavily on supporting more of the Android Gingerbread (2.3) and early Honeycomb (3.0) APIs. Mono for Android v1.2.0.24718.zip
(later rebranded as Xamarin.Android) was a specific toolchain and runtime that bridged the gap between .NET bytecode (IL) and Android’s Dalvik Virtual Machine (and later ART). It allowed developers to write complete Android apps in C# and F# while still accessing the full native Android SDK. Use the NET Upgrade Assistant to automate much
: Look at how the Mono team mapped complex Java classes to C# equivalents. It allowed developers to write complete Android apps
Unlike simple cross-platform wrappers, Mono for Android compiled C# code to native assemblies (via LLVM or just-in-time compilation where permitted) and provided bindings to the underlying Android Java APIs. This gave developers near-full access to Android’s functionality while preserving the productivity and language features of C# (LINQ, async patterns, garbage collection, etc.).
