Xamarin.Forms.AppLinks 2.3.0.34-pre1

• MonoAndroid 1.0

  • Xamarin.Android.Support.v4 (= 23.3.0)
  • Xamarin.GooglePlayServices.AppIndexing (= 29.0.0.1)

## New Features ##

### Data Pages ###
Xamarin.Forms DataPages are available as a preview for customers to try and provide feedback. The preview is available in the Xamarin.Forms.Pages nuget package. DataPages provide an API to quickly and easily bind a data source to pre-built views that can be styled with Themes.

### Themes ###
Xamarin.Forms Themes are available as a preview for customers to try and provide feedback. A theme is added to a Xamarin.Forms application by including the Xamarin.Forms.Theme.Base Nuget package, plus either an additional package that defines a specific theme (eg. Xamarin.Forms.Theme.Light) or a locally defined theme.

### URL Navigation ###
Deep link directly to any page within your Xamarin.Forms app with URL Navigation.

In order to avoid adding a dependency on GooglePlayServices to the Xamarin.Forms core package, we've created a new Xamarin.Forms.AppLinks nuget package that will be required for this feature to work on the Android platform.

### Embedded Native Controls ###
Embed custom Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Android controls in Xamarin.Forms applications.

### Other New Features ###
- Multiple shared resource dictionaries with implicit styles and/or dynamic resources are now supported
- Can now set the background and text color of the Tab bar on TabbedPage.
-  Known Issues:
  - [WinRT, WinPhone 8.1, UWP] Setting BarTextColor does not currently work.
  - [WinPhone 8.1, UWP] If the TabbedPage contains a NavigationPage, the BarBackgroundColor and BarTextColor for the NavigationPage takes precedence
  - [WinPhone 8.1] If the TabbedPage contains a NavigationPage, switching between tabs may cause the background color to be lost.
  - [Android] Cannot set BarTextColor back to default after changing it to a non-default color.
- Can now set TextColor on Picker, TimePicker, DatePicker.
