Two Challenges for Building Apps#1 – Heterogeneous World #2 – Users Want Native

Common approaches to mobile development

The Platform specific approach

• Multiple teams to be managed

• Expensive to maintain multiple code bases

• Slows down innovation

The Hybrid Approach

• Non-standard UI

• Limited API access

• Non-native performance

Hybrid PlatformC#

Visual Studio

Java

Eclipse

Objective-C

Xcode

Xamarin’s unique approach: efficiency through shared code

More apps faster: Accelerated time-to-market with up to 99% shared code

Only native cross-platform solution: Native UI and performance, high-fidelity API access

Easy scalability: Go from 1–100 apps with reduced time and effort
