At buddybuild, we see tens of thousands of mobile projects from mobile dev teams.
Of the teams looking for cross platform solutions (versus native iOS or Android), Xamarin comes up on occasion.
However, React Native tends to be FAR more common as teams are looking for solutions for "write once, run on many"
- pawadu 10y agoCould it be that your service is more suited for people working with React? In a slightly related note, I find it hilarious that people are using a framework made by a company behind what is probably the most hated mobile app ever.
- dennispi 10y agoAh, I should clarify and provide context. We're a mobile focused continuous integration and deployment solution. When deciding which platforms to support, we looked at current adoption for Native iOS and Android (this was no brainer), Hybrid (PhoneGap, Ionic, Cordova) and "emerging" platforms (React Native, Xamarin). Ultimately, we decided to prioritize the others first. CI/CD service is applicable to any mobile development team.. but to your point, buddybuild is better suited to those other platforms, as those are the only ones we support. In our experience (which also factors inbound requests), Xamarin is still relatively nascent as compared to the others. That said, you can should expect to see Xamarin support soon :) Also, fwiw, Microsoft purchased Xamarin only recently.
- pawadu 10y agoBut this puts your first statement in a completely different light ;) I should also note that React Native was announced in 2015 while Xamarin was announced in 2011 (with Miguel's work on Mono being much older). Can you then call Xamarin an "emerging" platform? (disclaimer: I don't use either platform)
