Great work. Can't help but notice most of the contributors in this issue are Samsung Electronics employees. Interesting to see Samsung in the .net world!

You can build Tizen apps in .Net now I imagine they're working to improve compatibility across all Tizen devices. Samsung is also now a member of the .Net foundation

Which will be the fourth reboot on the Tizen SDK stack, so I don't know if they will actually win anything with it.

They already went through Meego APIs, replaced by Bada OS C++ APIs, replaced by C and Enlightenment APIs, alongside HTML5 apps.

As a developer I would be weary to invest any resources in so unstable OS design.

Assuming they implement the entirety of the .NET APIs then a developer would have to invest very little to get on their platform. One would hope anyways.

aside from frequent platform changes, and the fact that very little amount of users use Tizen, I believe C# is a much better environment for app development. C# has much better tooling around it (remember how long it took to have a stable android studio, let alone have it in the first place)
