Can anyone using Xamarin chime in as to whether the situation there is better?
- vittore 11y agoWell you are getting native app with xamarin, so it must be better.
- SunboX 11y agoI heard a talk lately by two students that came to the result that it was a lot time consuming to debug. You have to get from native-code failures to your JS implementation. But I didn't try it myself by now.
- lnanek2 11y agoXamarin and Titanium compile to native code and use native components, so they wouldn't have the same problems as a JavaScript and HTML solution like Cordova does. Particularly re performance since they don't run in the web view widgets like Cordova.
- m_fayer 11y agoThe downside of xamarin is slightly unstable tooling, the occasional regression, and headaches associated with using native oss libs, though it is very much possible. And of course price. On the other hand, native-equivalent performance is no joke and c#/f# are great languages. Xamarin comes with some very sophisticated stuff like databinding, and high-level concurrency like rx, async/await, and akka.net which can really be a boon for performance, especially compared with js's comparatively meager concurrency options.
