Xamarin Forms: Native iOS, Android & WP Apps from one C# Codebase
summary
Describes using Xamarin.Forms to build native iOS, Android and Windows Phone apps from one C# codebase: an embedded lighting-control web UI gets replaced by a native app built in 48 hours that reuses 80% code reuse; Xamarin.Forms exposes 40 pages/controls, MVVM, dependency service and messaging center; iOS requires a Mac and does AOT on iOS / JIT on Android, mono adds ~2MB runtime, and a BreweryDB search demo runs unchanged on iOS and Android — performance matches or slightly exceeds native.
