Latest Visual Studio Tools for Xamarin
Deliver native Android, iOS, and Windows apps with a single shared .NET code base.
Apps built using Xamarin look and feel native, because they are.
Native User Interfaces
Apps built using Xamarin contain standard, native user interface controls. Apps not only look the way the end user expects, but they behave that way too.
Native API Access
Apps built using Xamarin have access to the full spectrum of functionality exposed by the underlying platform and device, including platform-specific capabilities like ARKit and Android Multi-Window mode.
Native Performance
Apps built using Xamarin leverage platform-specific hardware acceleration, and are compiled for native performance. This can’t be achieved with solutions that interpret code at runtime.
Target all platforms
Single shared codebase for Android, iOS, and Windows
Share code everywhere. Use the same language, APIs and data structures for 75+% of app code across all mobile development platforms.
Develop on PC or Mac
World-class IDEs on your preferred OS
Use Visual Studio, a fully-featured and extensible IDE on Windows. Or, use Visual Studio for Mac, a rich IDE for macOS. Both offer UI designers, efficient code editing, debugging and publishing tools, and more.
Exciting benefits

With a standard subscription you get the software and benefits you need to stay up to date on all things code, including access to core Microsoft software for development and test, monthly Azure dev/test individual credits, collaboration tools, training courses, professional support, and more.
