Microsoft Officially Releases iOS and Android SDK’s for Office 365

Bellevue, Wa – Open source SDK provides access to a new set of Office 365 OData based services for Exchange Mail, Contact, Calendar as well as Sharepoint files and lists. Except for a small authentication wrapper, Exchange SDK code is automatically generated based on OData metadata and is exposed via Java Proxy (reflection) classes that provide JPA in a simple way to interact with a structured object model.

An infrastructure has been developed to generate SDKs based on any OData V4 compliant service metadata. SDK has been released to Maven Central repository. SDK and demo application, showcasing the SDK, have been presented at the SPC 2014 conference. Through the project, code contributions were made to ODataJClient OSS project and ADAL (Azure Active Directory Authentication Layer) OSS project. The contributed code has been moved to Apache Olingo project which has evolved from incubation, to a top level Apache project in a little over a month.

Akvelon engineering team has been working on Android Office 365 SDK in collaboration with the MS Open Tech team and we are happy to see it is finally released.

Microsoft blogged about it as did MS Open Tech in a more detailed post.
