Currently creating an app in C# on Xamarin and have hit a brick wall. I have created apps before but when completed they were completed, it's different this time.
I'm currently creating an app which requires data to be updated weekly.
Essentially I have a txt file which is currently part of the app, this txt file is split up with each 'line' in the file being added to a list to show data in a listview.
What I need to know is how to make the app so that this txt file can be updated on a weekly basis without the need for a full new app download (who would want to do that every week?).
Thanks in advance for any help offered.

If you want to update some file weekly the best way is to consume rest services. Xamarin.forms has made this pretty simple.
You should give a try to take a look at these examples provided my xamarin documentation : consuming rest services and this link is pretty useful too. If you are looking at more detailed example I can provide you with one. :)
