Many businesses go with Xamarin because some guy in a management mandates it because he feels it will be a silver bullet that will let them get around having to hire skilled native mobile developers. The reality is that to do Xamarin well you’ll have to wander outside out Xamarin Forms, and to do that well not only do you need native mobile developers but you need far higher caliber native mobile devs who are able to mentally translate swift/objc and android calls into their C# equivalent, and who have an idea of what’s going on the os when there’s a crash at a level lower than the .NET runtime caused by a native part that’s not apparent in the crappy Xamarin stack trace. Xamarin really only makes sense if your company has a mountain of existing complicated .NET code with priceless business logic that you absolutely have to reuse.
