The standard way to get/set SharedPreferences in Xamarin is with the following code.
Get Preference:
var shared = con.GetSharedPreferences(_preferenceName, FileCreationMode.WorldReadable);
var value = shared.All.Where(x => x.Key == key).FirstOrDefault().Value;
Set Preference:
var shared = con.GetSharedPreferences("PreferenceName", FileCreationMode.WorldWriteable);
var edit = shared.Edit();
edit.PutString(key, val);
edit.Commit();
The main issue I have/had with this is you often have to know what will be returned, and what type you need to save as. Usually this isn't difficult, but it adds an un-needed level of complexity.
The other major issues I have with this, is that it is quite verbose, and unnecessary. The code duplication here can be quite high.

The parse function allows you to do some pre-processing of the data sent from the server before the model is created. Parse should return an object containing the values that will make up this models attribues. This is called after the fetch command has recieved the data, but before the response is put into the model. The example below parses dates to local time before adding them to the model using moment.
One of the major systems that will stop you from losing money is your testing environment. The ability to properly test patches before they are put into production is a must.
