While Xamarin has some pain points it definitely satisfies a market need for “native” cross platform development. My company uses it quite a bit. With .NET MAUI on the horizon as the evolution of Xamarin it has a future. Although I do wonder if the Blazor (mobile bindings) might end up having the brighter future. Kind of seems like the back up plan to appeal more to the HTML/CSS web devs who don’t want to adopt/learn the XAML UI markup.
