Xamarin has some limitations for creating APP for Android

0

I'm starting to study mobile programming, specifically Android at the moment, and I have a question.

I started studying Android Studio that uses the JAVA language, but it is also possible to develop for Android using Visual Studio with Xamarin and the C # language (IDE and language that I already have a good experience).

Does application created with Xamarin have any technical limitations? Is there an Android version limitation or something that is different from an app created with Android Studio?

Thank you all.

Your question is very important to understanding Xamarin.

Many believe that the Xamarin platform is not native, so they cheat, as Xamarin is native, being able to perform absolutely everything you would do in Android Studio.

Example: If an API specified, such as a camera, has a problem, the same problem played in Android Studio (Java) will be played in Xamarin (C # or F #) because both use the NDK to access the native api .

Remembering that a learning curve will be needed to develop Mobile applications, but once you are already familiar with the language, this curve tends to be smaller.

I hope I have clarified your doubt.
