Xamarin.forms. True multiplatform* by Microsoft.

*you just have to make sure not to use any of the platform specific features, or write 3 completely different codes

    I agree, this is nice for UI designing at least, code it once and it runs anywhere, but fuck me, it feels incomplete and feels like a third party framework that just parses your code to native language.
    If only it did that, but noooo, your app will weight 20mb minimum because of all the necessary assemblies and shit.
    Fuck, Microsoft, this could've been the perfect framework but no

    @Alfer even a fucking js framework works better than this piece of mess

    In Microsoft's defence, they only purchased it 1 or 2 years ago. It was a separate company they picked up so it's hardly their design decision...

    I think you misunderstand what xamarin is about.

    The idea is you write a UI specific for each platform you are targeting (so you can take advantage of platform specific features). The shared code bit is just for business logic / behind the scenes shit.

    If you truly want a write one run everywhere framework then don't use xamarin
