## What it is
A collection of sample applications demonstrating how to build iOS, tvOS, and watchOS apps with the Xamarin.iOS toolchain in C#. Samples are organized by OS version and feed Microsoft's official Xamarin.iOS sample gallery.

## Use cases
- learn xamarin.ios with example apps
- find watchkit sample code
- see how to use ios apis from c#
- tvos ui catalog example
- healthkit apple watch sample

## When to choose
- you're building iOS/watchOS/tvOS apps with Xamarin and C# and want working reference code
- you need examples of specific iOS version features in .NET

## When to avoid
- you're doing native Swift/Objective-C iOS development
- you're starting a new .NET mobile project - Xamarin has been superseded by .NET MAUI
