About Xamarin
Xamarin was a popular framework for developing cross-platform mobile and desktop applications using C# and .NET. As of May 1, 2024, Xamarin is no longer supported or updated by Microsoft. Users are encouraged to migrate to .NET Multi-platform App UI (.NET MAUI), the modern evolution of Xamarin.Forms, which offers enhanced features and performance for building native apps across Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows.

The 'Current' release for Xamarin includes new features that may undergo future change based on feedback. These releases are suitable for applications in active development and receive critical fixes for security, reliability, or support for new release versions of third-party dependencies.
Current releases are supported until May 1, 2024, on the assumption that current dependencies such as Xcode and Android Tools do not change from the last release. Support will not be guaranteed for any newer releases of third-party dependencies.
