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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

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 is a true native solution, and we can use the cross-platform framework."
"Plugins like MvvmCross make a developer’s life easy."
"We were able to optimize the service organization for one of our clients."
"Cross-platform development saves time and provides consistencies."
"It allows us to reuse our knowledge of C# and .NET Framework."
"The combination of forms for cross-platform UI and C-Sharp for the programming language are my two favorite features."
"I would advise others to use the Xamarin Platform because it's the technology that is most stable in the market."
"Xamarin is well-integrated with Visual Studio so it will feel very familiar to you once you start."
 

Cons

"There is a need for API-based development which offers completely customized functionality."
"In Xamarin.Forms, we have the option to preview our UI designs, but the functionality can be limited. So, this is not fully functional. Since I have some knowledge of iOS, where when you write code or design in the storyboard, your design is immediately visible in the preview."
"The recent move to .NET MAUI is a big change that's affecting a lot of the good features."
"The primary area for improvement is the support for third-party libraries, especially for major providers like Microsoft and Google."
"There are compatibility issues between versions of various Xamarin components."
"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 would be better if they offered more certifications. They offer a number of certifications for Azure but none for Xamarin. This is something that could be provided for developers to show off their competency. Technical support could be better."
"They need to take a step towards independence from the UI platform. It takes a lot of time to adapt the native controls."
"The stability of the Xamarin Platform could improve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Xamarin Platform is open-source, but there are fees for deployment, the API Store and Play Store, and using third-party libraries."
"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."
"Xamarin is free, or comes with Visual Studio. Therefore, it is very profitable."
"The product is inexpensive."
"This is a free product, so there is zero investment on licenses and IDE."
"Xamarin is free. There is no license unless you go for some high-end enterprise features. Other than that, everything's free."
"There's no licensing cost for Xamarin."
"Xamarin Platform is open-source, so it is free to use."
