In the year 2011, Microsoft founded a software company Xamarin that works with an open source with .Net development, which implies Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) and Common Language Specification. Xamarin tools that are developed by the company utilizes the C# shared codebase used for developing applications for all three platforms.

Considerably,Xamarin edge for App developers Articles the tools are used for developing native applications. Therefore, all the apps developed by Xamarin are native applications and tries to incorporate native user-interface in the application. Considerably, since the platform is open source, Xamarin tools can be utilized by third-party application development companies.

In the mobile tech world, since Android, iOS and Windows became three major operating systems that are used by users based on the applications installed by users. At present, if we analyze the market of mobile application development, it can be noticed that all the three platforms have sources that allows the user to download and install the application. For Android, Google play store acts as application source, iTunes for Apple and Windows play store for windows mobile. Third parties are able to create accounts on these sources and upload the applications developed by them. Xamarin is the open source that allows developers to build applications using C#. For a Xamarin app development company or developer, anything that can be done using Java, Objective-C or Swift, could be easily achieved with C# with Xamarin. As a misleading fact among many IT intellectuals, it is to be noticed that Xamarin is the name of the company owned by Microsoft. The company emphasized on C# language to achieve functionalities similar to the other three languages mentioned above.

Xamarin has definitely provided a flexibility of utilizing same Integrated Development Environment (IDE) as well as Application Program Interface ( API) for all the three platforms. This way, C# is the only language to be take care by the developers or app development company using Xamarin, but with a constraint as it is designed to work with Microsoft’s .Net platform. Xamarin understands the technical requirements of operating systems irrespective of the mobile devices and their respective software updates, thus as one of the another main features, the applications developed using Xamarin tools are compatible fro developer support on the same day of new OS releases.

Compared to any other tools, Xamarin Application Development Company relies on automated testing procedure provided in the framework. Thus, developers can easily find and fix bugs in apps by automated testing procedure by Xamarin having more than 2000 real test devices in its cloud. All the testing procedures are accompanied by real time usage of the applications developed using Xamarin. Along with the users performing user interface gestures such as swiping, pinching, taping on the screen, the cloud tests also gets performed on Xamarin cloud. Xamarin app development companies really have an edge in terms of flexibility in developing high-end apps increasing the efficiency of mobile app development.
