Creating a Phone Number Translator App for iOS with Xamarin.iOS: Overcoming Entomophobia

Are you ready to conquer your fear of insects, also known as entomophobia, while learning how to create a phone number translator app for iOS using Xamarin.iOS? In this walkthrough, we will guide you through the process of building an application that translates alphanumeric phone numbers into numeric ones.

To get started, open Visual Studio for Mac and choose the iOS > App > Single View Application template. Ensure that C# is selected as the programming language. Name your project Phoneword_iOS and leave everything else as default.

Once you have created a new Xamarin.iOS solution, navigate to the Main.storyboard file by double-clicking on it in the Solution Pad. This will open the design surface where we can create our UI.

Adjust the width of the Label until it is the same width as the Text Field. To do this, search for 'text field' inside the Toolbox and drag a Text Field from the Toolbox onto the design surface. Place the Text Field under the Label.

With the Label selected on the design surface, use the Properties Pad to change the Text property of the Label to 'Enter a Phoneword:'. You can bring up the Properties Pad or Toolbox at any time by navigating to View > Pads.

To make the label wider, grab the handles of the Dragging Controls (the circles around the control). This will allow you to visually create a UI that adapts to different size classes. Note that size classes are enabled by default in Xamarin.iOS.

Now that we have set up our UI, it is time to start coding! In the next part of this walkthrough, we will explore how to translate alphanumeric phone numbers into numeric ones using C#.
