Deprecating libgdx Xamarin.iOS backend, welcome RoboVM (PSA)

Engines, Libraries and Tools
#1

We are deprecating the Xamarin.iOS based libgdx backend in favor of the RoboVM backend. Biggest reason being the constant struggles fixing issues that arise from Xamarin updates. You can find out more details, including a deprecation plan, pros and cons here.

I’d appreciate any feedback on the deprecation plan. It would also be lovely if you could spread the word about this.

Fukc yeah!

Woo! Finally.

I’ve been waiting for this day!

Well done Mario, Nate and all the other contributors.
And another Well Done to the Niklas at RoboVM.

Excellent, this seems like a solid decision. Although now I kinda feel bad for Xamarin folks, as they will be quite sad to see you go :confused:

#5

I don’t think the Xamarin guys will care :slight_smile:

#6

Haha, well now I feel better about this :slight_smile:
