Xamarin & Apps with Modern UI
summary
Claims that Xamarin.Forms covers 99% of native UI and that moving to MAUI is easy later, with the advice to start on Forms now. Demos use specific libraries: Xamarin.Essentials MediaElement for video backgrounds, Lottie for animations, SkiaSharp and MagicGradients playground for complex gradients, FFImageLoading for images, Skeleton and Sharpnado for loading and cards, and shared element transitions plus Shell navigation for app structure. Examples include a video-login, card flip, parallax collapsing header and working media playback; recommends Forms 5.0 and warns against heavy UI kits if heavy customization is expected.
