## Xamarin Reactive Location - ALPHA

### Motivation

Location on each Xamarin platform is already event/push driven which is where Reactive models do great. This creates

a useful wrapper around the iOS/Android location APIs.

### Cross Platform-ish

- Location features/permissions change (see iOS 11 permission changes).

- Location features get fairly nuanced between platforms. This library will have a default setup that "works" 

but it has platform specific extensibility points for permissions, the location objects, and setting up start parameters.

Not having these things hidden gives you full control

### Still thinking about and working on

- Is location service useful? Should everything just be condensed into the Listeners?

- Is a default implementaiton useful? Or should user just be forced to implement an abstract listener on each platform?

- What level of default implementation should be provided for checking permissions?

- What type of cross platform "settings" should be allowed? or just tell user to implement the listeners

- UWP I have some older code I need to port into this model to make it work for UWP

- There's some duplicate logic between listeners (checking permission). Look at centralizing this

- Need to surface different states. IsAuthorizedObs, Service Disconnected, Reason No Longer Listening, Also different reasons location checking is failing. Disabled on device etc...

- Error handler might be a weird design and need to just percolate exceptions through stream instead

### Thanks To
