2.0.0.1007 - Preview

Description

The long awaited version 2.0 preview is here. The Mobile.BuildTools have been virtually re-written from the ground up. This provides tremendous enhancements for Build Secrets including support for every primitive type in C# + Guid, DateTime, DateTimeOffset, TimeSpan, & Uri's, not to mention the ability to have arrays. For those who prefer something less build time dependent there is new support for app.config with both build time and optional runtime transformations.

Perhaps one of the most amazing features is the new Image support. Be sure to follow & subscribe on twitch.tv/dansiegel & youtube.com/dansiegel as we'll have some up coming streams & training videos on how to use this and other incredible features!

This has too many features to list so be sure to check out mobilebuildtools.com.

Acknowledgements

I'd like to especially thank @kzu for his tireless help over the past couple of years behind the scenes and answering my never ending questions. Without his help this preview would be far from ready!

I'd also like to thank @seanalford for his contributions on the image watermarking. This great new feature was made so much better because of his efforts in prototyping some badge drawing.

Currently Templated Manifests and App Versioning are not functional and should be available in a future preview.
