Our Recommendation
We really looking forward to work in Xamarin, and there are some upsides which outrival the downsides. We recommend you to work with Xamarin if below parameters are fulfilled in your application requirement.
If your application has a substantial amount of front-end login which cannot be handled by the backend server. Elseway the amount of code shared is nominal, so you are not saving in terms of cost or ramification and take on all the risks of the platform.
If you want to give support on one or more Windows devices and have the good amount of shared on front-end logic instead of backend login. In above-mentioned cases, We highly recommend working with a team that really understand your target platforms and this will give you to the best user experience for each and every.
