    Console.WriteLine ("UpdatedAssets", args.UpdatedAssets);
    Console.WriteLine ("InsertedAssetGroups", args.InsertedAssetGroups);
    Console.WriteLine ("UpdatedAssetGroups", args.UpdatedAssetGroups);
    Console.WriteLine ("DeletedAssetGroupsKey", args.DeletedAssetGroupsKey);
});

// To stop listening:
notification.Dispose ();

//
//Method style
//
NSObject notification;
void Callback (object sender, AssetsLibrary.ALAssetLibraryChangedEventArgs args)
{
    // Access strongly typed args
    Console.WriteLine ("Notification: {0}", args.Notification);

    Console.WriteLine ("UpdatedAssets", args.UpdatedAssets);
    Console.WriteLine ("InsertedAssetGroups", args.InsertedAssetGroups);

ObserveChanged(NSObject, EventHandler<ALAssetLibraryChangedEventArgs>)

Strongly typed notification for the ChangedNotification constant.

public static Foundation.NSObject ObserveChanged (Foundation.NSObject objectToObserve, EventHandler<AssetsLibrary.ALAssetLibraryChangedEventArgs> handler);

static member ObserveChanged : Foundation.NSObject * EventHandler<AssetsLibrary.ALAssetLibraryChangedEventArgs> -> Foundation.NSObject

Parameters

objectToObserve

	Console.WriteLine ($"Observed ChangedNotification for {nameof (objectToObserve)}!");
};

// Stop listening for notifications
token.Dispose ();
