I’ve just released an update to Charming Storage on NuGet. After a lot of use in Windows Phone 8.1 projects I’ve reworked the TryGetItemAsync StorageFolder extension method to improve the performance. On average it is now takes 1/4 of the time to retrieve file items. Interestingly in Windows 10 this API becomes part of the Universal contract so it will be available on all platforms going forward.
The other change in this release is the addition of a Xamarin iOS library. This includes a LocalSettings implementation for iOS apps. This means that rather than messing about with NSUserDefaults on iOS you can write the same code across Windows and iOS apps. We’ve got a few other “Universal” APIs for iOS and Android on the way…
