How do i implement facebook chat in xamarin (cross-platform)

Question

I am creating an app that allows users to communicate with doctors in real time via a chat system. I was wondering if there are any sample codes out there that shows how can one implement facebook/whatsapp chat system into a xamarin cross platform project. If possible any other chat app sample links are also appreciated.

Answer 1

A lot of the Azure .NET Web stack can be hosted 'on premise' (on your company servers) too, so those examples you've already seen might just work.

In general you'll need a real time communication framework. There is a decent overview over there.

It's all depending on your requirements and the time and effort you want to put into it.
