## Usage
Create a new Xamarin.Forms project and modify the following files to look like the examples below:

```csharp
public partial class App : Application
{
public App() => InitializeComponent();
public App(IHost host) : this() => Host = host;
public static IHost Host { get; private set; }
public static IHostBuilder BuildHost() =>
XamarinHost.CreateDefaultBuilder()
.ConfigureServices((context, services) =>
{
services.AddScoped();
});
protected override void OnStart()
{
Task.Run(async () => await Host.StartAsync());
MainPage = Host.Services.GetRequiredService();
}
protected override void OnSleep()
{
Task.Run(async () => await Host.SleepAsync());
}
protected override void OnResume()
{
Task.Run(async () => await Host.ResumeAsync());
}
}
```
Android `MainActivity.cs`
```csharp
protected override void OnCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
...
// Android requires that we set content root.
var host = App.BuildHost()
.UseContentRoot(System.Environment.GetFolderPath(
System.Environment.SpecialFolder.Personal)).Build();
var application = host.Services.GetRequiredService();
LoadApplication(application);
...
}
```
iOS `AppDelegate.cs`
```csharp
public override bool FinishedLaunching(UIApplication app, NSDictionary options)
{
...
var host = App.BuildHost().Build();
var application = host.Services.GetRequiredService();
LoadApplication(application);
...
}
```
