Xamarin.Forms is a cross-platform UI framework for building native iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS apps entirely in C#. Support officially ended on May 1, 2024, and it has been succeeded by .NET MAUI.

Use cases

  • build cross-platform mobile apps in C#
  • share UI code across iOS and Android
  • maintain a legacy Xamarin.Forms application
  • migrate a Xamarin app to .NET MAUI
  • create native UIs from a single C# codebase

When to choose

  • you are maintaining an existing Xamarin.Forms codebase
  • you need to reference the framework's source for a migration to .NET MAUI

When to avoid

  • starting any new project - use .NET MAUI instead
  • you need long-term support or security updates
  • you want an actively developed cross-platform framework
