Xamarin is Cross-Platform Mobile App Development framework.

What is Xamarin used for?

Xamarin.Mac was created as a tool for Apple technology application development using the C# programming language. Xamarin.Mac, as with Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Android, gives developers up to 90% of code reuse across Android, iOS and Windows.

Is Xamarin better than native?

Unlike traditional hybrid solutions, based on the web technologies, a cross-platform app built with Xamarin, can still be classified as native. The performance metrics are comparable to those of Java for Android (as explained here) and Objective-C or Swift for native iOS app development.

There are many cross-platform mobile app development services provider in the industry. Make sure you choose wisely.

Pros of Using Xamarin for Development

• Xamarin utilizes C# as its key programming language. This enables more than 70% of the code to be reused between iOS, Android and other platforms.
• An app built with Xamarin offers the same level of performance as that of a natively developed app.
• Access to Xamarin.Forms tool allows developers to add platform-specific functionality to the app.
• Xamarin offers developers a complete development toolset, including Visual Studio – Integrated Development EnvironmentXamarin SDKs – PlatformXamarin Test Cloud – TestingHockeyapp & Xamarin.Insights – Distribution And Analytics
• Xamarin assures fast app development in the shortest time limit with a low amount of bugs.
• Xamarin University allows easy onboarding by educating its users consistently and systematically.

Cons of Using Xamarin for Development

• Xamarin offers limited access to open source libraries.
• The framework is not a viable option for building games or rich custom UI as it allows the sharing of logic only with UI codes being platform-specific.
• Xamarin apps are usually larger than native ones.
