Get started with Azure Mobile Apps, see the Azure Mobile Apps documentation center.
To get the source code of our SDKs and samples via git just type:
git clone https://github.com/Azure/azure-mobile-services.git
cd ./azure-mobile-services/
Our managed portable library for Windows 8, Windows Phone 8, Windows Phone 8.1, and Windows Runtime Universal C# Client SDK makes it incredibly easy to use Mobile Services from your Windows applications. The Microsoft Azure Mobile Services SDK is available as a Nuget package or you can download the source using the instructions above. The managed portable library also supports the full .NET 4.5 platform.
The SDK requires Visual Studio 2013.
The managed portable library solution includes a core portable assembly and platform-specific assemblies for each of the supported platforms: Windows 8,
Windows Phone 8 and .NET 4.5. The core portable platform project is Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Mobile
. The platform-specific assembly projects are
named using a Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Mobile.Ext.<Platform>
convention. The Windows Phone 8 platform also
include a Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Mobile.UI.<Platform>
project that contain UI components. To build the Managed Portable Libray:
- Open the
sdk\Managed\Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Mobile.Managed.sln
solution file in Visual Studio 2012. - Press F6 to build the solution.
The managed portable library Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Mobile.Managed.sln
has a test application for each of the supported platforms: Windows 8,
Windows Phone 8 and .NET 4.5.
- Open the
sdk\Managed\Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Mobile.Managed.sln
solution file in Visual Studio 2012. - Right-click on the test project for a given platform in the Solution Explorer and select
Set as StartUp Project
. - Press F5 to run the application in debug mode.
- An application will appear with a prompt for a runtime Uri and Tags. You can safely ignore this prompt and just click the Start button.
- The test suite will run and display the results.
Add a cloud backend to your iOS application in minutes with our iOS client SDK. You can download the iOS SDK directly or you can download the source code using the instructions above.
The SDK requires Xcode 4.6.3 or greater.
- Open the
sdk\iOS\WindowsAzureMobileServices.xcodeproj
file in Xcode. - Set the active scheme option to
Framework\iOS Device
. - Build the project using Command-B. The
WindowsAzureMobileServices.framework
folder should be found in the build output folder underProducts\<build configuration>-iphoneos
. - Drag and drop the
WindowsAzureMobileServices.framework
from a Finder window into the Frameworks folder of the Project Navigator panel of your iOS application Xcode project.
- Open the
sdk\iOS\WindowsAzureMobileServices.xcodeproj
file in Xcode. - Set the active scheme option to
WindowsAzureMobileServices\* Simulator
. - Open the
Test\WindowsAzureMobileServicesFunctionalTests.m
file in the Project Navigator panel of Xcode. - In the
settings.plist
file, setTestAppUrl
andTestAppApplicationKey
to a valid URL and Application Key for a working Mobile Service. - Run the tests using Command-U.
Microsoft Azure Mobile Services can be used with an Android-based device using our Android SDK. You can get the Android SDK in one of the following two ways or you can download the source code using the instructions above.
- For an Android studio project, include the line
compile 'com.microsoft.azure:azure-mobile-services-android-sdk:2.0.3'
in the dependencies section of build.gradle file of the app - Eclipse users can download the Android SDK directly or can download the source code using the instructions above.
The SDK requires Android Studio.
- Open the folder
\azure-mobile-services\sdk\android
using the optionOpen an existing Android Studio Project
in Android Studio. - Project should be built automatically, In case it does not build, Right click on
sdk
folder and selectMake Module 'sdk'
- The file
sdk-release.aar
should be present at\azure-mobile-services\sdk\android\src\sdk\build\outputs\aar
- Rename the file
sdk-release.aar
tosdk-release.zip
- Extract the zip file,
classes.jar
should be present in the root folder.
The SDK has a suite of unit tests that you can easily run.
- Open the folder
\azure-mobile-services\sdk\android
using the optionOpen an existing Android Studio Project
in Android Studio. - Project should be built automatically, In case it does not build, Right click on
sdk
folder and selectMake Module 'sdk.testapp'
- Expand

Our JavaScript SDK makes it easy to use our Microsoft Azure Mobile Services in a Windows 8 application or an HTML client. The Microsoft Azure Mobile Services for WinJS SDK is available as a Nuget package or you can download the source for both WinJS and HTML using the instructions above.
The Microsoft Azure Mobile Services for WinJS SDK requires Windows 8.1 and Visual Studio 2013 Update 3.
- Install Node.js and grunt-cli (globally) for building in Visual Studio
- Install the Task Runner Explorer(https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/8e1b4368-4afb-467a-bc13-9650572db708) add on for VS 2013
- Open the
sdk\JavaScript\Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Mobile.JS.sln
file in Visual Studio. - Right click on the gruntfile.js in the solution, and select Task Runner Explorer
- Run the default build option
Alternatively, you can use Grunt from the command line to build the project as well.
For WinJS Windows Store apps, copy the Generated/MobileServices[.min].js
, Generated/MobileServices.DevIntellisense.js
and Generated/MobileService.pri
files into your WinJS project. For HTML applications, copy the Generated/MobileServices.Web[.min].js
and the Generated/MobileServices.DevIntellisense.js
files into your HTML\JavaScript project.
To run the WinJS Windows Store test app:
- Open the
sdk\JavaScript\Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Mobile.JS.sln
file in Visual Studio. - In the Solution Explorer, right-click on the
Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Mobile.WinJS.Test
project in the Solution Explorer and selectSet as StartUp Project
. - Press F5 to run the application in debug mode.
- A Windows Store application will appear with a prompt for a Runtime Uri and Tags. You can safely ignore this prompt and just click the Start button.
- The test suite will run and display the results.
To run the HTML tests:
- Open the
sdk\JavaScript\Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Mobile.JS.sln
file in Visual Studio. - In the Solution Explorer, select the Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Mobile.WinJS.Test project and right-click to select 'View in Browser'.
- The default browser will launch and run the test HTML application. Some tests may fail because due to an 'Unexpected connection failure'. This is because the test is configured to connect to a Mobile Service that does not exist. These failures can be ignored.
