Remarks

Asset catalogs are often used for icons and images, but may be used to deliver any kind of data in a platform-specific manner.

Within an asset catalog, there is one folder per data object. That folder contains platform-specific data files and a Contents.json file that maps platform characteristics to specific datafiles. For example:

Where Contents.json contains:

{
  "info" : {
    "version" : 1,
    "author" : "xcode"
  },
  "data" : [
    {
      "idiom" : "iphone",
      "filename" : "iphone.wav",
      "universal-type-identifier" : "com.microsoft.waveform-audio"
    },
    {
      "idiom" : "ipad",
      "filename" : "ipad.wav",
      "universal-type-identifier" : "com.microsoft.waveform-audio"
    }
  ]
}

To load an asset, call C:UIKit.NSDataAsset(String) or C:UIKit.NSDataAsset(String,Foundation.NSBundle) passing the name of the folder. For instance:

var assetCatalog = new NSDataAsset ("FolderName");
var data = assetCatalog.Data;
var uti = assetCatalog.TypeIdentifier;

NSError error = null;
var player = new AVAudioPlayer (data, uti, out error);
if (player != null) { //...etc

The appropriate datafile for the hardware device will be loaded.
