## What it is
A collection of sample code demonstrating how to share code between Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Android cross-platform mobile apps. It powers Microsoft's Xamarin sample gallery and includes contribution guidelines for adding new samples.

## Use cases
- learn xamarin cross-platform mobile development
- find example code for sharing logic between ios and android in c#
- see how to structure a xamarin ios and android app
- get started with xamarin mobile samples
- reference sample apps when building xamarin apps

## When to choose
- you are learning Xamarin and want runnable example projects for iOS and Android
- you need reference code for sharing C# logic across mobile platforms
- you want to contribute a sample to the Xamarin sample gallery

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new production app, since Xamarin is deprecated in favor of .NET MAUI
- you need a library or framework rather than example code
- you need actively updated samples, as the repo's latest release dates to 2020
