Application Development JumpStart Service: Examples App Development Developed a demo inventory tracking application for a major European retailer that showed how to integrate an MQTT client on MC40 which enabled push notifications without relying on Google Play Services. App Porting Provided sample code to ISV for creating a Xamarin binding for the EMDK and to access the scanner and payment device directly from their Xamarin application. Worked side-by-side with customer during the porting of their application from MC75 on Windows Mobile to TC75 on Android. This included the integration of scanning using Xamarin as well as reviewing code and providing best practices for using the Android Bluetooth API to communicate to peripherals. App Troubleshooting & Optimization A customer deployed a complex solution consisting of multiple ISV solutions for delivery tracking, vehicle fleet management, and GPS navigation. The applications ran fine independently but the mix of all three simultaneously caused slow scanning. The Solution Center (SC) worked with 3 ISVs to reproduce, troubleshoot, and recommended changes that allowed the applications to run concurrently without compromising performance. Application Staging & Deployment (MDM) Enabled customer s requirement to use staging barcodes and four slot Ethernet cradles to deploy TC70 for the rollout. SC provided instructions and a demonstration video on how to rapidly stage many TC70 devices using SOTI. 12
