Ready to take code sharing to the next level? Xamarin.Forms is an open source mobile UI framework from Microsoft for building iOS, Android, & Windows apps with .NET from a single shared codebase.
Whether you want a consistent look across platforms or prefer native look and feel, Xamarin.Forms will get you up and running in no time.
Over fifty platform-specific APIs, including powerful hardware features like geolocation, secure storage, sensors, device information are a breeze to use with Xamarin.Essentials
