Offline sync with Azure Cosmos DB

I have a Xamarin.Forms app using Azure Cosmos DB (DocumentDB) and I'd like to implement offline synchronization.

Is it possible? Can we use Mobile App Services with DocDB?

Thanks!

Solution

  • For the Offline Data Synchronization feature of Azure Mobile Apps, you need to use the Easy Tables support of the service which requires a back-end database with either Azure SQL Database or Storage. It currently does not support using Cosmos DB as the back-end database for Azure Mobile Apps Easy Tables / Table API support.
