azure-mobile-services | Mobile Services is deprecated - Use Mobile Apps | Azure library

I'm using Azure Mobile Services library for Javascipt in my Angular Web App. According to the documentation here: https://github.com/Azure/azure-mobile-services/blob/master/docs/mobile-services-html-how-to-use-client-library.md#how-to-filter-returned-data

There are two ways to filter the returned data. One is passing a JSON object and the other is passing a filter function (for complex filtering). I'm using the filter function since I have to use relational operators for columns like startDate or endDate which require a greater than or less than condition.

I have a function, like the one below, which returns a filter function based on certain filters set on the front end, but to cater different filters, I have to use a lot of if..else conditions to see which of them is set and what filter function to return.

I'm trying to build my Android project in a Xamarin.Forms solution and the following line keeps raising an exception that breaks the build.

Can someone tell me how to log from a TableController class (Microsoft.Azure.Mobile.Server)? I have seen a few places (such as https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/azuremobile/2014/04/24/logging-with-the-net-backend-for-azure-mobile-services/) that say to user the TableController Services member, Log property and to call the logging methods from there--this.Services.Log.Info("log text"). But I don't see any Services member of the TableController class.

Thanks, Steve

I am trying to use autofac with azure mobile app to have dependency injection in custom controllers.

following this link

however, i can't find ConfigBuilder, ConfigOptions classes in my project to get started.

I see that I can add Nancy to my Azure Mobile App. http://www.strathweb.com/2014/02/running-owin-pipeline-new-net-azure-mobile-services/ but how can I add the authentication for Nancy? The goal here is to be able to have both a web app and a mobile app using the same server.

Goal: If Nancy page requires authentication, jump to ~/.auth/login/aad (for example), then return to the originating page.

Where I am:

1. Created new Azure Mobile App ASP.NET application
2. Added Nancy

3. Remove default MobileAppConfig and replace with

I'm trying to enable Azure offline sync in my Android app (Java). I added models with 1:n relationship to my cloud sync web service (C#) like in this article:
