Xamarin Now Provide Extended Support to iOS App Developers

-

Have you looked into the latest version of Xamarin? The namesake development platform is now having additional support for iOS mobile app developers for sharing codes across Apple OS, Android and Windows.
New Xamarin version 3 allows the devs to use C# to create native apps for Android, iOS, Mac OS X and Windows. Moreover, the most important feature in this respect is the addition of Designer for iOS. Xamarin feels that the mobile app developers of today will embrace the alternative to Apple's Xcode Interface Builder. This will help them to stay in a single environment for the entire development process.

 Distinct Advantage of Designer for iOS
Developers can build and modify iOS 6 and 7 and their so-called storyboard files. This tool helps to assemble the different screens that make up an iOS application as well as the navigation path embedded in them. The upgrade is not just about iOS, but the ability to share code to multiple OS also improved in the version 3.
The new feature Shared Projects lets developers share code across iOS, Android, and Windows in either Xamarin Studio or Visual Studio, whereas, Portable Class Libraries offer new mechanism for building libraries. In order to facilitate the mobile application development, developers can use Xamarin. Forms.
What is that? – Well, that API lets developers write user interfaces for iOS, Android and Windows Phone apps. Developers here will be allowed to mix and match codes with specific platform specific bits for complete control on each platform.
In addition to above, the Xamarin IDE Studio has also been updated with a new welcome screen, icons and improved support for Retina displays. This C# version of Xamarin allows developers build iOS and Android apps using the F# functional programming language. Developers today can use their browser to try F#, as it runs on Linux, Mac OS X, Android, iOS, Windows as well as HTML5 and GPUs. Even the new acquisition of Visual Studio Division of Clarius Consulting by Xamarin will allow the company to deliver an improved and customized mobile app development experience.
