Some months ago, I started a small project for a friend: a basic app for managing stock. A personnal project is always a good occasion for testing a new tech, and Xamarin was in my radar since a long time. With Xamarin Forms I was able to make an app with a native look & feel without having to bother with interface. Let see how it goes!

Android 4.2.2. resolve problem with AIR mobile deployment
Google has recently pushed a new Android version: 4.2.2. Concerning the new features, this update brings about a new security feature in regards to USB debugging: now there is a gatekeeper on your phone! You will have to accept the RSA key before being able to deploy on your device. More information concerning this update there.
If you have made this update on your device, you won’t be able to deploy your application, even if you’ve accepted the RSA key. Your IDE won’t success to connect to the device and push on it.
When I tried to resolve the problem, it quickly appears it wasn’t related to the IDE but directly from the AIR SDK. Then I tried to deploy on my tablet with a Unity project: same problem. Using Unity, you work directly with the Android SDK. I just needed to download its latest version and replace the previous one, and it works!
Concerning AIR, we also use the Android SDK but not with its original structure. You need to replace some files on this folder: YourSDK/lib/android/bin. Replace those files: aapt, adb and dx.jar with files coming from the latest Android SDK: sdk/platform-tools aapt, adb and its lib folder with the dx.jar file. Using Windows you will also need to replace the dll files.
That was easy! I hope Adobe will quickly deploy an AIR SDK update for everyone.
