Xamarin Studio

Xamarin Studio extends the .NET developer platform with tools and libraries specifically for building apps for Android, iOS, tvOS, watchOS, macOS, and Windows. MS .NET is a developer platform made up of tools, programming languages, and libraries for building many different types of applications.

Use .NET and C# to create native apps for the billions of Android, iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Windows devices around the world. Add to that sharing code with any .NET app, empowering you to be more productive and build apps faster than ever across all platforms.

Xamarin gives .NET developers complete access to iOS, watchOS, and tvOS SDKs. Create user interfaces with a built-in designer or take advantage of integration to bring your design in from Xcode. Leverage APIs like Touch ID, ARKit, CoreML, and many more from C#! Use the full power of the Android SDK to build apps for any Android platform. With C#, you can develop for phone, tablet, watch, and television.

.NET Standard libraries have a uniform API for all .NET platforms, including Xamarin and .NET Core. You can create a .NET Standard library and use it from any runtime supporting the .NET Standard platform. Say hello to sharing code across iOS, Android, Linux, macOS, Windows, and more - anywhere .NET runs!

Xamarin Studio is part of the powerful .NET ecosystem, which millions of developers choose every day for their apps. Save time with an average of 75% code sharing to get up and running faster than ever. Use your favorite libraries, frameworks, and tools to build stunning mobile applications. Then take advantage of powerful libraries from the team to access native APIs and 2D graphics from shared code.

Sourced from thousands of open-source projects with more than 100 stars each on GitHub, recommendations are tailored to promote common practices, keeping you in the flow of coding. And while the default IntelliCode is great, you can take it a step further by enhancing IntelliCode using a custom model trained on your unique, bespoke codebase

Visual Studio is your one-stop-shop for building, deploying, and debugging apps on emulators, simulators, or directly on physical devices. Set breakpoints, view and update local variables, access the watch window, read device debug logs and more powerful debugging features.

The .NET ecosystem is expansive with amazing developers around the globe building world-class libraries to streamline development. Use your favorite NuGet libraries with Xamarin apps including SQLite, Polly, Reactive Extensions, Prism, Refit, and more.
