Learn how to get started

“We used Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 to develop a Xamarin.Forms app that gives us 95 percent code reuse across all of the platforms that we were targeting—iOS, Android, and Windows phone. Visual Studio Team Services and Xamarin Test Cloud particularly allowed us to iterate quickly through several releases of the application because we were able to check as we went along that our tests were still passing, and the product was still robust enough to deploy.“

Emma Parkes, Senior Software Engineer, British Airways

Build once and reach customers on any platform

Write in one language and target any device, whether it’s Android, iOS, or Windows. Expand your audience while you take advantage of your team’s current skills. And, save time by reusing code from existing development projects.

“The thing I appreciate most about Xamarin is being able to have a shared code base for the data layer and the app services.”
