Ask HN: Can anyone describe their experience using Xamarin for mobile apps?

1 points by alexgaribay 13y ago ↗ HN

I'm interested in getting a license for Xamarin and I heard about the tool a while back. It looks very powerful and it appeals to me since I have some experience in C#.

Like the title says, can anyone describe their experience using Xamarin to develop mobile apps? If so, was the platform successful for you and would you recommend it?

I tried the trial version a while ago. I couldn't get the debug to run from visual studio because of something weird with Android device images missing or not being found. Never bothered trying more. I get really turned off when I'm trying a new tool and hit errors right away.
