When learning to develop mobile applications, should I learn android and iPhone separately, or just use xamarin instead?
Can xamarin replace it all, or do you loose some functionality/performance etc when using it over android studio and Xcode?

    @azuredivay thanks man. To start with though, this project (small business idea) won't need a desktop client.
    I thought native was the best way too, just needed confirmation :)

    I'd say learn iOS & Android separately to really get inside the ecosystem & learn all the APIs and the ways of doing things. Then use Xamarin when you're good enough with both of them.

    Coming from someone who uses xamarin daily as long as you do them via mvvm with a shared folder its fine and functionality isnt lost that much.

    You do however loose functionality with xamarin forms

    You should take a look at B4X:

    It is easy for beginners and compiles to native code.

    Personnaly I learned both iOS and Android and porting the code is not that difficult for simple apps! And for my first app, I think these I coded were not so messy
