Xamarin offers two native app development technology:
1. Native Xamarin, including Xamarin.Android, Xamarin.iOS, Xamarin.Mac
2. Xamarin cross-platform Xamarin.Forms
I "personally" prefer Xamarin.Forms this technology, because:
1. It is, after all, a native of technology, performance is not too bad, hardware API calls will not be limited.
Development of language 2. behind C #, relatively familiar .
3. the code is cross-platform, supports both Android and IOS.
4. there are large companies like Microsoft support, although Microsoft does not often fill pipe digging pits, but compared to other cross-platform Delphi, in terms of communities and ecosystems are good a lot of.
IDE:
Xamarin.Forms is based on a cross-platform C # and Xaml on UI toolkit, the official recommended IDE is Visual Studio, Visual Studio 2017/2019 in Community Edition / Professional / Enterprise Edition have been supported.
