" summary

Shows how to turn a messy Xamarin solution into testable, sharable code by moving UI logic into view models, using PCLs for contracts, and embedding Xamarin.Forms embedding pages inside native Android/iOS apps. Demonstrates a demo login flow where an IAccountService is registered via TinyIoC/service locator or injected with Prism with Autofac, uses MessagingCenter for cross-layer events, handles platform quirks (GZIP on Android, iOS NFC limits), and warns against leaking platform code into shared projects.
