I recently gave xamarin a go using the visual studio integration: it was a horrible experience. The VS integration was terrible at crucial tasks like tracking file changes (even with frequent build cleans and restarts), and the APK sizes were huge compared to native builds. Xamarin forms was still very awkward to use. If you try xamarin, don't use it with visual studio. Both dart&flutter and kotlin feel considerably smoother in my experience, even with the dumpster fire that is android studio.
