Tizen 4.0 incoming with support for Microsoft's .NET

Peter, 02 February 2017

Samsung’s Tizen OS is heading towards Version 4.0 and it will debut .NET integration. This will enable more developers to jump on the platform since it can bring over developers from the Microsoft camp (.NET is a Microsoft technology similar to Java and was used in Windows, both desktop and mobile).

Tizen 4.0 Preview 3 will launch next month and a near-final version should come out in September. This will support both ARM and x86 processors. .NET Standard 2.0 with Xamarin.Forms 2.5.0 (or higher) can be used (this is a GUI toolkit that works on anything from a Mac to a Tizen phone).

Performance is expected to surpass the current web apps used in Tizen starting with Preview 3. So, you can expect your fridge apps to run faster.
