Unified codebase has reduced mobile development effort but now faces SDK and support limits
You can still develop public-facing apps with Xamarin Platform, but there are restrictions on Xamarin Platform App Store and Google Play that prevent you from publishing your apps because they require you to use their latest SDKs and their latest libraries. Xamarin Platform, having been discontinued a couple of years ago, is no longer compatible with the latest libraries and SDKs offered by Google and Apple. So you have to use obsolete libraries and obsolete packages, which means that when you try to publish them, your Google Play or Apple App Store will prevent you from doing that because you have not used the latest libraries. Right now, Xamarin Platform has been discontinued. Xamarin Platform had its flaws, and there were known issues. Xamarin Platform has a big community of developers, so even though there are known issues and flaws, there are known workarounds. In terms of stability, I would rank it at 7.5, but I believe 7 would be a more accurate rating, so 7 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Key features include security, decreased development time, responsiveness, cross-platform."
"It helps us quickly develop mobile solutions for our clients, plays an important role in the digital transformation of our clients, accelerates existing processes, ensures compliance, and meets enterprise security standards."
"We very much like the XAML design techniques, multiple layout and pages, MVVMCross support, and portability across different platforms."
"We were able to optimize the service organization for one of our clients."
"Recently, Xamarin has added a lot of features such as Effects, Behaviors, Triggers, etc. This has made the UI user-friendly, lively, and attractive."
"The ability to reuse significant amounts of code between platforms, have a single code repository, and a single development team for all platforms has massive advantages."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"I would advise others to use the Xamarin Platform because it's the technology that is most stable in the market."
"It significantly reduces development and test costs, and ensures that there is synergy between the platforms on product features and user experience."
"Xamarin.Forms exposes a complete cross-platform UI toolkit for .NET developers, and the advantage is that a single team can target multiple platforms (Android, iOS, and Windows) on a shared C# codebase."
 

Cons

"There is a need for API-based development which offers completely customized functionality."
"I feel that the Android AppCompat library creates a lot of issues. A lot of development time is often wasted solving these issues."
"The application platform could be improved."
"Technical support could be better. We often get support from the community and only sometimes from the Xamarin team."
"We need to think about partnering with IBM because there is a need for a big data partner; someone who has machine learning and can help us connect the app to big data."
"However, Xamarin Platform lacks in app size."
"It needs offline sync capabilities to store data on devices persistently."
"The android application compilation time needs to be reduced."
"It is common to find a problem that you would need to develop from the start since there are no third-party components to reuse."
