Xamarin Development Services We Provide
Xamarin Cross-Platform Application Development
Streamline development and reach a wider user base. Xamarin allows you to create cross-platform apps with native performance.
To facilitate cross-platform app development with Xamarin, we write code once with C#. The framework allows us to share it across platforms, which leads to greater efficiency. We also tap into the vast Xamarin ecosystem, including .NET and Xamarin.Forms
Xamarin iOS, Android, and Windows App Development
Create fully native Xamarin apps specifically tailored to iOS, Android, and Windows. This allows you to take advantage of the capabilities and native user interfaces of each platform.
Using Xamarin and .NET as a basis, we develop native apps tailored to individual platforms. We also use Xamarin.iOS for iOS, Xamarin.Android for Android, and Xamarin's UWP support for Windows, along with platform-specific libraries and packages.
UI/UX Design
Design intuitive user interfaces and ensure that your apps look and feel consistent across platforms.
Xamarin.Forms, Xamarin's UI toolkit, allows us to build shared, cross-platform user interfaces, as well as platform-specific UIs with custom renderers. We create adaptive, responsive layouts that feel native to each platform.
IoT App Development
Build apps that interact with a wide range of connected devices, from home automation apps to smart city apps. Xamarin's cross-platform capability and enormous ecosystem make it well-suited to IoT software development.
Using Xamarin's robust platform, C#, .NET, and other tools, we create IoT apps that interact with a range of IoT technologies and devices.
Xamarin App Support & Maintenance
Xamarin apps require ongoing attention and support, even after they're deployed. Maintenance ensures that they remain functional and performant.
Using tools like Xamarin Profiler, Visual Studio, and NuGet Package Manager, we conduct regular updates, optimize performance, and upgrade your app to adapt to new standards and operating systems.
Xamarin Application Testing
Testing is a critical component of any Xamarin development life cycle. This series of processes ensures your app is robust and offers a consistent user experience, no matter what the platform.
With a blend of manual and automated approaches, we conduct a series of tests to evaluate qualities like functionality, UX, security, and performance. For example, we leverage NUnit or xUnit.net for writing unit test cases and Xamarin.UITest for automating UI tests.

Why Choose BairesDev for Xamarin Development
Robust Security Measures
Security is a paramount concern. Along with tapping into built-in Xamarin features like Essential's Secure Storage, we implement measures such as encryption for sensitive data, authentication mechanisms, and more. We also enforce stringent NDAs and maintain secure coding practices.
Flexible Engagement Models
We offer three engagement models: staff augmentation, dedicated teams, and end-to-end software outsourcing. You can scale the engagement as needed, whether you need one Xamarin developer or an entire autonomous team.
Nearshore Talent
The majority of our developers are based in Latin America. They are bilingual and time zone-aligned with most businesses in the US. That means you can communicate and collaborate in real-time.

Key Things to Know About Xamarin
Tailored Solutions for Every Xamarin Project
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How does partnering with a Xamarin development company work?
Partnering with a Xamarin development company means working with a provider to deliver partial or full-scale mobile app development services. We offer three engagement models, each offering a different level of service: staff augmentation, dedicated teams, and end-to-end software outsourcing.
How much does it cost to develop a Xamarin app?
The cost of developing Xamarin apps can vary significantly from project to project. However, using the development platform can help reduce costs significantly, especially when comparing it to the cost of developing separate native applications.
What is the difference between Xamarin and React Native?
Xamarin and React Native are both cross-platform development tools. However, they differ in approach. Some key differences are:
- Language: Xamarin uses C# and the .NET framework. React Native uses JavaScript.
- Performance: Xamarin compiles to native code and offers performance near that of native apps. React Native also offers near-native performance, but the bridge between JavaScript and native code can affect it.
- Environment: Xamarin uses Visual Studio, while React Native works with various IDEs.
- Community: Xamarin is backed by Microsoft, while React Native is supported by Facebook/Meta. Both enjoy wide support.
- Learning Curve: React Native is easier to learn, particularly for JavaScript developers.
Ultimately, the choice depends on the project and skill sets of your developers. Xamarin is better suited to those looking for strong native performance, while React Native is ideal for fast development.
Are there any disadvantages to using Xamarin to build mobile apps?
While there are many benefits of using Xamarin in mobile app development, there are some drawbacks. They include:
- Some update lags
- Large app size
- Steeper learning curve for developers unfamiliar with C#
- Depency on Microsoft
- Smaller community than React Native's
- Difficulty achieving consistent UI across platforms
- Limited focus—primarily focused on mobile apps
