Microsoft tried to make this happen with .NET compact framework on Windows Phone for years and failed. So, no, Android could not have been delivered in C#.
- AlphaSite 8y agoI think your conflating the failure of C# on mobile with the failure of windows phone.
- pjmlp 8y agoActually Xamarin proved otherwise. https://blog.xamarin.com/android-in-c-sharp/ https://blog.xamarin.com/android-in-c-sharp/ Also .NET compact framework is not the same runtime as the .NET Framework, .NET MDIL (WP 8.x) or .NET Native (WP 10/UWP). Actually, thanks to being AOT compiled to native code, budget WP 8.x and WP 10 device, used to be faster than their Android counterparts on the same price range.
