Summary


In this chapter, we discussed communication. We learned how to work in an asynchronous context, developing an example of a cross-platform app that simulates a fast food restaurant.

We used an async context in a base service to make HTTP requests to REST APIs and we also used open weather APIs to make a cross-platform app that shows us the weather conditions in a place that the user can select. In the next chapter, we'll write custom renderers to customize screen components.
