Introduction to Xamarin App development

 Xamarin is an open-source platform that creates fast approached apps for multiple devices, like iOS, Android, and Windows. It is an abstraction layer that manages the communication of shared code with platform code. And it collects memory allocation and garbage storage. It can be written on Mac and PC. Xamarin compiles the native application packages like. APK on Android and.IPA files on iOS.

 

Xamarin is for the developers for the following goals:

 

  1. It allows developers to share the code and test on various business platforms.
  2. All applications are written in 3C and visual studio




 

How Xamarin works?

 

Firstly, Xamarin creates the native UI on each platform and business logic using #C that all platforms share. It follows with building the Mono, Mono Touch, and Mono for Android. These are the cross platforms implementations that depend on common language infrastructure and common language specifications. It is built on the top of .NET, which automatically handles the tasks such as memory allocation, garbage storage collection, and interchangeability.

 

Xamarin Development Approaches

 

There are two ways of developing cross-platforms via Xamarin, including:

 

1.Forms Technology - It first allows you to design the user interface and attach the #c code with it. And you can share this Base code with Android, iOS, and Windows platforms. In this, the UI and backend codes are pulled together for the different solutions.

 

2.Xmarin Native - It includes Xamarin Android, Xamarin iOS, and Xamarin windows libraries that create different applications for each platform. In this case, the UI code is similar, but the backend code is shared with Xamarin forms.

 

The following Xamarin types with other platforms are written below:

 

·         Xamarin Android - It compiles from C language to intermediate language, which is just in time to integrate to a native assembly when the application launches. It runs with the mono execution environment and side-by-side Android Runtime virtual machine.

 

·         Xamarin iOS - It is ahead of time, compiled from #C into native ARM assembly code. In this, selectors and registrars are known as bindings and allow objectives #C and C to communicate. For fast processing, Xamarin iOS is used to convey the messages.

 

·         Xamarin Essentials - It is a library that provides cross platforms with APIs for native device features. The essentials are device info, File System, Accelerometer, Phone Dialer, Text to Speech and Screen lock, etc.

 

      ·    Xamarin Forms - It is an open-source UI framework. Xamarin forms allow the developers to                  build the Xamarin iOS, Xamarin Android, and Windows application
