- iOS - AppDelegate.cs file, in the FinishedLaunching method.
Global.VideoPlayer.iOS.VideoPlayer.Init();- Android - MainActivity.cs file, in the OnCreate method.
Global.VideoPlayer.Droid.VideoPlayer.Init(this, bundle);This calls should be made after the Xamarin.Forms.Forms.Init() method call. It is recommended to place this calls in the following files for each platform:
