Seamless integration
Xamarin provides seamless integration of Objective-C, Java and C++ libraries. This provides the ability to easily integrate with many third-party
code bases which are in Java, Objective-C or C++.
Robust Compile Time Checking
Xamarin provides powerful compile time checking. This will reduce the run time errors and in effect provide high quality applications.
Xamarin is a Microsoft-owned San Francisco, California-based software company founded in May 2011. It has a C#-shared codebase with which you can use
Xamarin tools to write native Android, iOS, and Windows apps with native user [Link] can also share code across multiple platforms, including
Windows and macOS.
Xamarin applications are compiled to
Xamarin delivers high performance with device-specific experiences using native APIs to create a good user interface and user experience.
iOS - UIKit APIs to create user interface. Xamarin's iOS designer/ Xcode Storyboards can be used for designing the UI.
Android - [Link] to create user interface. Xamarin’s UI designer can be used for designing the UI.
Windows - XAML for presentation layer, created in Visual Studio or Blend’s UI designer.
Mac - Storyboards to be used for the presentation layer, created in Xcode.
[Link] - XAML to create user interfaces that can be shared across platforms.

How Does Xamarin Work for Windows?
For Windows, C# is compiled to IL and executed by the built-in runtime, and does not require Xamarin tools.
Designing Windows applications following Xamarin’s guidance makes it simpler to re-use the code on iOS and Android.
Note that the Universal Windows Platform also has a .NET Native option which behaves similarly to [Link]' AOT compilation.
