Xamarin, as a runtime and framework, provides developers with all the necessary tools to create cross-platform applications. In this quest, one of the key goals is to create a code base with a minimal amount of resources and time; another is to decrease the maintenance costs of the project. This is where Xamarin.Forms comes into the picture.
As we explained previously, by using the Xamarin classic approach, developers can create native applications. In this approach, we aren't really worried about creating a cross-platform application since we are creating an application, for all the target platforms using the same development tools and language. The shared components between the target platforms would, in this case, be limited to the business logic (that is, view-models) and the data access layer (models). However, in a modern mobile application, the actual business logic would have been migrated to a service-oriented implementation. The application is generally...
