Native User Interfaces
Xamarin apps are built with standard, native user interface controls. Apps not only look the way the end user expects, they behave that way too. There is no scripting or interpreted code and layers of libraries to go through. It is pure and clean.
Native Performance
Xamarin apps leverage platform-specific hardware acceleration, and are compiled for native performance. This can’t be achieved with solutions that interpret code at runtime. Xamarin apps have smooth scrolling, stutter-free interaction, and gorgeous transitions, leveraging platform-level hardware acceleration to deliver unmatched responsiveness.
Native API Access
Xamarin apps have access to the full spectrum of functionality exposed by the underlying platform and device, including platform-specific capabilities like iBeacons, Android Fragments, fingerprint authentication, payments, health sensors, printers and other speciality hardware.
Xamarin allows you to build beautiful, fast, reliable, quality native apps, while making mobile teams much more productive than separate siloed teams building multiple native apps on completely different and incompatible technology stacks. This is very important factor, reusing what has been already done and sharing knowledge that you have invested in, both in time and money.
From our own experience over the years, typical code reuse is around 70%. If you think about that, that is a huge saving and risk mitigation. For example, once you fix an issue in the shared code it is propagated across all platforms at once. With all this in mind, the mobile app delivery process brings even more unique challenges when compared to desktop or web development.
Fast
All users (customers and employees) expect exceptional user experiences and quickly abandon apps that don’t look, behave, or perform well on their device. Users also expect fast release cycles that include bug fixes, functionality improvements, and operating system specific updates (such as Siri voice input in iOS 10, Touch Id integration etc) when they become available.
Right
Getting it right on just one app on all devices is difficult due to mobile fragmentation, with thousands of possible device form factors, operating systems, and hardware manufacturer combinations. Being able to out-mobile the competition means doing so for the dozens or even hundreds of apps that businesses need to build to be truly mobile first. Mobile DevOps, streamlined for continuous delivery of high quality, high performance apps, enables this innovation.
Reliable
Service opportunities that are tailored to this end-to-end approach to mobile will allow you to both grow your business and to develop and execute successful and scalable mobile strategies for your clients. Repeating to deliver a success with each release is the key.
