In the past few years, a significant increase has been seen in the number of businesses developing multiple versions of the same application for leading mobile platforms like Android, iOS and Windows Phone. And that’s why businesses require cross-platform mobile development tools for reducing not only the development time but also the cost. Depending on particular requirements, each business has alternatives to select from a vast range of cross-platform mobile development tools including Xamarin, Titanium, Kony, PhoneGap, Appcelerator and iFactr.

Xamarin has even included the tool with Microsoft’s Visual Studio. It has given flexibility to the developers to make useful mobile apps with the use of the popular and vastly used development environment to benefit them. With the same C# code base, developers can create Android, iOs and Windows phone apps. And simultaneously developers can identify the bugs and flaws in the mobile app by testing it using Xamarin Test on different mobile devices in the cloud. Also, developers can provide high quality app by supervising the exceptions and crashed in real-time with the use of Xamarin …show more content…
Since Xamarin supports all the latest mobile devices, it becomes simpler for developers to make modern and useful mobile apps.
No Additional Plug-ins needed
Xamarin allows developers to work on device processing without any need of developing additional plug-ins. Since the Xamarin applications are created with standard and native UI controls, they give richer user experience in several mobile platforms. Moreover, the apps are capable of accessing all functionality of the respective mobile device and platform. Emergence of Xamarin helps businesses to save lots of time, efforts and resources required for developing additional plug-ins.
Meets the Need of Every Projects
Generally, all cross-platform mobile development tools match the necessities of small projects while failing to meet the requirements of complex and bigger projects. Xamarin is helpful in fulfilling the requirements of both small as well as large projects. Since the developers can write down the code in a single programming language (that is, C#), it becomes smoother and convenient for the businesses as well as the developers since they can avail the native Android and iOS Libraries to simply modify and enhance the mobile
