I used xamarin a few years ago for a moderately sized iOS app. It got me about 95% there. That last few percent was brutal, the app kept crashing after coming back from the contact chooser. Couldn't find a way around it, even with latest xamarin version, hot fixes. Was very unfortunate. I'm pretty skeptical of frameworks that abstract away a whole system. Hopefully, xamarin is a lot more stable and powerful these days.

- petvetbr 8y agoIt has improved a lot in the last year, I started working with it just as Microsoft acquired Xamarin, it was buggy as hell, now it is really solid.
- stefanfisk 8y agoPeople have been saying that since Xamarin came out though, myself included a few years back. I often get the feeling that what has happened in "the last year" is that the developer saying it has gotten to know Xamarin well enough to avoid the warts.
