Xamarin is a mobile app development platform that allows developers to create apps in C#, sharing a single codebase across iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS. It offers tools for testing, performance analysis, and detailed error reporting, enabling integration with various external services. Developers benefit from native UI controls and asynchronous programming capabilities, making it easier to build responsive applications.
Xamarin - Code Once Build Android and iOS Apps
- 1. Xamarin course @lalorosas Eduardo Rosas Osorno
- 5. Test your app on over 1,000 devices Run your app on a huge collection of real devices from around the world. Select devices based on form factor, manufacturer, operating system, or even popularity in your target market. Automate using Ruby or C# With a framework called Calabash you can automate and test any iOS or Android app, native or hybrid, from the UI level down for perfect integration and continuous improvements. Analyze app performance See full-frame screenshots and video playback for every step of every test, then receive performance data and compare reports against previous runs to find regressions and bottlenecks.
- 6. Precise, detailed error reporting Xamarin Insights helps developers prioritize issues by showing exactly which users each crash is impacting, and what sequence of actions preceded the crash. Understand how users are interacting with your app Developers can see who’s online, which devices they’re using, what issues they’ve experienced, where they’re from, and which activities they’ve used in sessions. Integrate your data Connect your app to a variety of external services and be notified when a new issue is opened, an issue is occurring repeated times in a small amount of time, or an issue's status changes.
- 7. Xamarin apps share code across all platforms Target iOS, Android, Windows and Mac with a single, shared C# codebase. Use the same language, APIs and data structures on every platform. C# is the best language for mobile app development Anything you can do on Objective-C, Swift or Java, you can do in C# Native UI, native API access, native performance Xamarin apps are built with standard, native user interface controls. Apps not only look the way the end user expects, they behave that way too. This can’t be achieved with other solutions.
- 9. C# as the language for your mobile app development Stronger Types, Smarter Tools Generics guarantee that collections and other compound types are used safely, without the need for casts or comments. Xamarin tools understand intent better thanks to richer types, with benefits like ubiquitous code completion. Anything you can do in Objective-C, Swift or Java, you can do in C# Language-level Async Asynchronous programming (async) keeps apps responsive. In Objective-C, Swift and Java, async requires callbacks and manual bookkeeping. C#’s language- level support makes async a breeze. First-class Functions In Java for Android, lambdas are unavailable. In Objective- C, lambdas are extremly cumbersome. In C#, lambdas couldn’t be simpler, making functional programmers feel right at home.
- 10. Native iOS App Share code everywhere Same language, APIs and data structures to share an average of 75% of app code across platforms Shared C# App Logic Shared C# User Interface Code Platform-specific C# Platform-specific C# Platform-specific C# Native Android App Native Windows App
- 11. Build native iOS and Android apps in Visual Studio Or try Xamarin Studio, free IDE for Mac and PC Xamarin Studio Visual Studio for Mac and Windows for Windows
- 12. Write C#. Run on 2.6 billion devices. With Xamarin, you write your apps entirely in C#, sharing the same code on iOS, Android, Windows, Mac and more.
