iOS Developer - Xamarin Platform (5-7 yrs)

Xamarin for iOS Development :

Xamarin is a cross-platform mobile application development framework that allows you to write applications for iOS, Android, and Windows using C# and the .NET framework. With Xamarin, you can develop native apps for iOS and Android while sharing most of the code across platforms.

For iOS development with Xamarin, the app uses Xamarin.iOS. Xamarin.iOS provides bindings for the native iOS APIs, so you can build and deploy native iOS apps using C#. It's integrated into Visual Studio, and you can run and test your iOS apps on a Mac (for compilation and deployment to the App Store).
