This document discusses mobile development options for building apps using .NET and Xamarin. It outlines different mobile development approaches like native, hybrid, and progressive web apps. It promotes Xamarin as a way to build truly native mobile apps with shared C# code across iOS and Android. It also describes Telerik UI controls for building polished user interfaces for Xamarin apps and leveraging the full .NET toolbox.

13. When Xamarin.iOS & Xamarin.Android
1. Apps needing Native behaviors
2. Apps that use many Platform-specific APIs
3. Apps where custom UI is more important than code sharing
4. Apps that have complex Native UI renderings
5. Games
6. Forms Embedding options

14. When Xamarin.Forms
1. Apps needing little Platform-specific functionality
2. Apps where code sharing is more important than custom UI
3. Apps built by developers comfortable in XAML
4. LOB apps with lots of lists or data entry screens
5. Simple cloud-connected apps
6. Apps needing uniform UI across Platforms
7. Custom Renderers & Native Embedding options

15. Xamarin.iOS does full Ahead Of Time
(AOT) compilation to produce an ARM
binary for Apple’s App Store.
Xamarin.Android takes advantage of
Just In Time (JIT) compilation on the
Android device.
