Will Splunk Mint Express for Xamarin iOS be updated to support Xamarin's new Unified API?

Will Splunk MINT Express for Xamarin iOS be updated to support Xamarin's new Unified API? Is there already a beta somewhere? Upgrading is a must for Xamarin developers, so without an update we have to remove Splunk MINT completely.

We are working on open sourcing new Xamarin SDKs that are essentially wrappers on top of our native offerings.

We have open sourced the Xamarin SDKs which are essentially wrappers on top of our native SDKs. You can find the source code at:

https://github.com/splunk/splunk-sdk-mint-xamarin-ios
https://github.com/splunk/splunk-sdk-mint-xamarin-android

However we don't offer support any more.

Hello, can I ask what is the current state (mid October 2015)? I lost almost a day trying to get Splunk Mint to my Unified iOS project. Admitted I have rather Win/Android background but to my limited domain understanding there is no any NuGet package that enables Splunk Mint to be added to Unified project. Either the Nuget fails or it imports but does not add any dlls as references. Can you please give a hint? I have been using BugSense/Splunk for couple of years and would love to stick to that. The Xamarin discussion here: https://forums.xamarin.com/discussion/comment/104059#Comment_104059 suggests using Insights instead. To me it seems there is not any real activity upon this request, only the promise as "Accepted Answer". Please correct me if I am wrong. Best regards, Jan

Starting to think the answer is no. Bummer.
