This document discusses mobile development strategies using Visual Studio. It outlines tools for building cross-platform mobile apps with C++, Xamarin, Cordova, and the Universal Windows Platform. Visual Studio allows developing native iOS and Android apps using C# with Xamarin, cross-platform apps with C++, and hybrid apps with Cordova. It also provides emulators, debuggers, and designers to build apps for Windows, iOS, Android and more with one IDE. The document recommends determining the best technology based on platforms to cover and code reuse opportunities.

- 7. Mobile App Development Strategies Web technologies Native platform technologies
- 8. Developer tools Browser-based applications Visual Studio tools for Apache Cordova Visual C++ for cross-platWin32 Desktop apps – WPF Universal Windows Apps .NET
- 9. Xamarin & Visual Studio
- 10. .NET and Xamarin Share app logic across platforms • Native apps for Windows, iOS and Android devices using .NET • Most productive and powerful platform for creating native applications • Maximize code reuse with Universal Projects & Portable Class Libraries 100% APIs exposed • Everything you can do in xCode or ADT you can do with Visual Studio C# + XIB C# + AXML C# + XAML Native UI Native UI Native UI
- 11. UI design Create UI with drag and drop simplicity Target multiple screen sizes, resolutions, and OS platform and versions Layouts saved in native resource formats World’s best Android designer available in Visual Studio iOS app designer in Visual Studio Android app designer in Visual Studio
- 12. Native compilation, native performance Xamarin.iOS does full Ahead Of Time (AOT) compilation to produce an ARM binary suitable for Apple’s App Store Xamarin.Android takes advantage of Just In Time (JIT) compilation on the Android device
- 14. The design to each device
- 15. Visual C++ Cross Platform
- 16. Cross-platform mobile apps in C++ Easy installation One C++ IDE for cross-platform dev Share and reuse cross-platform code State of the Art code-editing features Powerful debugging experience Fast emulation
- 17. C++ the common denominator Shared C++ backend is compiled as: DropBox
- 18. Development tools for C++ cross-platform
- 19. Visual Studio Emulator for Android Fast, x86 image built from AOSP Runs on Hyper-V Comes with Visual Studio Speaks Android Debugging Native capabilities and sensors Zoom, Rotation, Network, Location, Accelerometer, Battery, OpenGL SD Card, Camera, Audio playback, Keyboard Input, Screenshots, Version and Screen Size Configurations, Drag&Drop APKs
- 20. Tools for Apache Cordova • Productivity of Visual Studio for hybrid apps • Scale to complex Enterprise apps through optional TypeScript support • End-to-end development workflow included for Windows, iOS and Android • Flexibility to use any JavaScript framework • Interops with common command-line tools Hybrid HTML apps Cordova tooling in Visual Studio • Natural path for web developers targeting devices Black Box
