Xamarin: La propuesta de Microsoft para el desarrollo móvil multiplataforma
(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2019-11-15) Pantoja Mosquera, Luis Carlos; Dinas, Simena
The development of mobile applications implies the need for them to be encoded in different operating systems, resolving different technical and technological difficulties so that the APPS work in a single environment of business information and are executed in each of the existing operating systems in the market. Developing mobile applications using the tools of each operating system means investing more time and greater costs, in addition to not responding quickly to the needs of the market, which jeopardizes the objectives of the companies, by not being able to place the APP early to users to run on all operating systems. To solve the above difficulties, today developers have multiplatform mobile development tools that allow the coding of the APP in different operating systems. The objective of this article is to show how Xamarin technology, acquired at the beginning of 2016 by Microsoft, is a good alternative for multiplatform development of mobile applications specifically for Android, iOS and Windows operating systems. The article contains a description of Xamarin's cross-platform features, installation requirements, aspects such as the development environment, the test environment, the implementation environment and the visual design environment among others.
