That's in line with what I have heard. Xamarin is a source of never ending obscure problems. All projects I know have switched to native from Xamarin by now b
To be fair the native iOS development with Xcode (10) isn't much better. My builds unpredictably fail for no reason at least once a day. Sometimes I have to build three times before all errors disappear, without touching any code or project files at all, mind you.
But at least Xcode doesn't crash any more.
Not Xamarin but Xamarin.Forms. Xamarin just works because it's basically C# bindings to native.
True. I should have been more specific about Forms. But in my company the mobile guys have even given up on Xamarin because it caused more headaches than solved things. First they tried Forms which didn't go well, then native UI with Xamarin backed, didn't go well either, and now they are fully native.
