PROS  OF

XAMARIN

DEVELOPMENT CYCLE SPEED-UP90% of the Xamarin code can be recycled

or reused in the development of other

applications for different platforms.

Xamarin mobile app development coding is

based on C# and native .Net libraries.

Maximum part of the code can be reused,

which saves developers of their time and

efforts and helps to speed-up the

development cycle while developing

applications for various platforms.

NEAR TO NATIVE APP PERFORMANCE

Applications created on Xamarin platform can

be considered very close to native

application. Xamarin is consistently evolving

to reach the level of native app creating

technologies. The performance metrics which

developers derive from the codes of

Objective-C, Java, Swift etc. can be expected

from Xamarin platform coding. This platform

also offers tracking and testing of the

performance of the app. .

CLIENT’S NATIVE APP EXPERIENCE

User experience reviews reveal that the

applications created using Xamarin

platform remain impeccable and

absolutely flawless. For platforms like

Android, iOS, and Windows, simple

applications can be developed using

Xamarin platform. At application run-

time, Xamarin.

HARDWARE COMPATIBILITYApplications can be created using Xamarin

through many plug-ins and APIs which provide

native-level support of device hardware and

therefore, all hardware compatibility issues

get eliminated. The developers can develop

applications with common device

functionalities which can run smoothly on

various platforms.

CONS OF

XAMARIN

LARGE OPERATIONAL

SOFTWARE OVERHEADS

Developing mobile applications using Xamarin

involves linking of codes and referencing

between target operating systems of various

devices and .Net frameworks. In simple words,

this linking and referencing increases startup and

download timings of the application.

UI DEVELOPMENT IS TIME CONSUMING

Even though a major portion of Xamarin

coding can be reused cross various

platforms, the core user-interface

creation is not portable. Therefore,

developers are required to do some part

of the coding for each platform which is

very time-consuming.

LIMITED OUTSIDE CODING SUPPORT

The code developed in Xamarin App Development

cannot be reused or transferred for HTML5 or

native applications for iOS or Android. Those who

develop the app for you using Xamarin should

have knowledge of .NET along with mobile

development, and platform-specific frameworks

and, architecture that makes use of Objective-C

and Java languages.

UNANTICIPATEDRISK OF CROSS

PLATFORMS Many cross-platforms carry an unanticipated risk or a

possibility of extra work. Xamarin’s framework

libraries cause unreasonable app file size to be

downloaded from Google Play or iOS App Store may

be because of high usage of Xamarin App

Development core library functionality in the app. The

app size difference can range between 3MB to 15MB.
