0Xamarin is one of the best cross-platform frameworks I have ever seen in my life.
That is the biggest sell, you can write 1 mobile app and then “tailor” it for 3 different platforms. Great. If you are a .net or C# expert, then you are really winning.
It works with Visual Studio and allows you to program on Windows (with a remote mac for iOS), again if you like Visual Studio the this is a big bonus.
It is owned by Microsoft who seem to be ironing out many of the significant number of bugs that burdened the platform for years. This should give it stability and strong integration with many of the other tools you might use, e.g. Azure, Visual Studio Team Services. It’s also fairly open source.
Xamarin has a 360 offering, including Continuous integration and a huge UI testing network.
Here I have accumulated array of advantages of Xamarin:
- Native Experiences Are Winner
- True Cross-platform Characteristics
- Seamless API Integration Capability
- Easy Collaboration & Sharing
- Coding Advantages of C#
- Easy Availability of Developers
- Supports Platform Uniqueness
- Rapid Development
- Cost-Effective
