Go Mobile with Xamarin
summary
Shows a working "Mobile Tasks" app built twice: Xamarin.Android and Xamarin.iOS, using Visual Studio/Visual Studio for Mac, social logins wired through Azure Mobile Apps authentication (Twitter/Facebook/Microsoft/Google) and navigation via Android Intents and iOS segues. Shares business logic in .NET Standard shared libraries while keeping UI per-platform (Activities / ViewControllers) and density-specific drawables. Demonstrates lifecycle handling, simulator vs real-device testing, Xamarin.UITest and cloud device runs, and warns that iOS debugging and App Store compile requires Mac for iOS compile. Performance is near-native and the demo app works end-to-end.
