This makes me happy, and hopefully it&#x27;s just available as a base part of Visual Studio &#x2F; part of all MSDN subscriptions. I loved Xamarin in principle before, but the price tag was steep.<p>I inherited a Xamarin app on one project - and while there were certainly some issues here and there, the promise of native cross-platform app development and shared C# libraries is pretty compelling.<p>I said a few years ago that this should happen, so glad to see it actually come to pass! <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;tmarman.com&#x2F;Blog&#x2F;Post&#x2F;ba9a711f-dcdb-40b5-bca9-ad6eb5b8ad58" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;tmarman.com&#x2F;Blog&#x2F;Post&#x2F;ba9a711f-dcdb-40b5-bca9-ad6eb5b...</a>
