Alpaca Client toolkit providing a standard interface to Alpaca devices. This namespace is delivered in NuGet package: ASCOM.Alpaca.Components.

Remarks

Please note that you will need to add this PropertyGroup to .NET projects that target Android in order for Alpaca discovery to work as expected:

Add to Project File

<PropertyGroup Condition = "$([MSBuild]::GetTargetPlatformIdentifier('$(TargetFramework)')) == 'android'">
   <UseNativeHttpHandler>false</UseNativeHttpHandler>
</PropertyGroup>

This may also be the case for projects that target IOS, but has not yet been confirmed
