Unified codebase has reduced mobile development effort but now faces SDK and support limits
You can still develop public-facing apps with Xamarin Platform, but there are restrictions on Xamarin Platform App Store and Google Play that prevent you from publishing your apps because they require you to use their latest SDKs and their latest libraries. Xamarin Platform, having been discontinued a couple of years ago, is no longer compatible with the latest libraries and SDKs offered by Google and Apple. So you have to use obsolete libraries and obsolete packages, which means that when you try to publish them, your Google Play or Apple App Store will prevent you from doing that because you have not used the latest libraries. Right now, Xamarin Platform has been discontinued. Xamarin Platform had its flaws, and there were known issues. Xamarin Platform has a big community of developers, so even though there are known issues and flaws, there are known workarounds. In terms of stability, I would rank it at 7.5, but I believe 7 would be a more accurate rating, so 7 out of 10.

Pros

"It helps us quickly develop mobile solutions for our clients, plays an important role in the digital transformation of our clients, accelerates existing processes, ensures compliance, and meets enterprise security standards."
"Key features include security, decreased development time, responsiveness, cross-platform."
"It brings about good code sharing strategies, which bring down cost and maintenance efforts."
"Xamarin makes it easy to create white label applications for all platforms."
"Xamarin is well-integrated with Visual Studio so it will feel very familiar to you once you start."
"Being able to use the .NET framework and platform have me creating applications better than anyone who develops on Windows."
"I would advise others to use the Xamarin Platform because it's the technology that is most stable in the market."
"The solution is easy to understand and has banking integrated. The shorter development time, the bugging and as well as availability of a lot of documentation on the web. Also the native integration is easy."
"This is a Microsoft-supported source platform so the technical support is very good and it's close to native."
"The most valuable features are: One language for all platforms: C#; XAML for UI in Xamarin.Forms; provides 100 percent coverage of APIs on each platform."
 

Cons

"There is a need for API-based development which offers completely customized functionality."
"The major I see with Xamarin right now is that there is no visual editor"
"Technical support could be better. We often get support from the community and only sometimes from the Xamarin team."
"The performance needs improvement, especially the dev tools, and also the ultimate output of the mobile applications."
"The solution does not include Hot Reload which is painful because it causes us to wait quite some time for huge builds."
"For beginners, the entire setup can be overwhelming because it involves setting up development environments for iOS, Android, and Windows at the same time if you want to target all three."
"It needs offline sync capabilities to store data on devices persistently."
"The primary area for improvement is the support for third-party libraries, especially for major providers like Microsoft and Google."
"We'd like to have some chat support functionality."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"My company provided all the licenses that we need to support our use of Xamarin Platform."
"There's no licensing cost for Xamarin."
"You can build in Xamarin without paying any money."
"The price of the Xamarin Platform is not expensive. However, the price of the solution depends on the application that is made. For example, if you have small applications, it's different from large or enterprise applications."
"There is no requirement for a license. It is available for free as an open-source product."
"It saved a lot of time and resources needed to develop a cross platform mobile app."
"Xamarin Platform is a free open-source solution."
"In most cases, it is sufficient to have free/community license. But if you plan to seriously develop production-level, highly polished apps, you need to use Xamarin.Profiler and the professional or enterprise license."
