Overall Satisfaction with Xamarin
Xamarin was used in a couple of projects by my organization. When it comes to faster development one should go for it. Yes, there are challenges but compared to developing two separate applications for the same purpose in different platforms this is the best choice. This application is better in performance compared to hybrid applications.
- Native application
- Code based to some extent. It is the same except specialized UI for different OS
- Faster development compared to native application development.
- teaching a Microsoft developers who has no experience in mobile application development is a challenge
- Should be simpler for deployment to devices.
- Faster development has a direct relation to the number of resources required.
- Getting the right resource to work on the project is a challenge as mobile developers are more familiar with Objective C / Java not on.net
- Getting the right component for the project is a bit of a challenge.
- Objective C, Java and Cordova
In Native app development we need to employ specialized developers solving some business problems in different technologies. Xamarin solves that problem to some extent delivering a native application experience. Hybrid has the same code base but suffers from lack of performance.
