An android app in its life time goes through numerous change cycles, app upgrades with many features addition/removal. Incorporating these over a period creates chaos in your application code if it is not designed well. This is why we should use an architecture pattern. By applying architectural patterns to your mobile code base, you can significantly reduce bugs, build fragile code, making code

Developers and testers are tasked with releasing software in short cycles. This demands continuous development and testing. This also means software must be developed and tested in tandem to achieve the ideal requirement. But not all parts of the software can be developed and tested simultaneously. Some components may not be ready yet or even accessible on time to enable continuous development

Xamarin assists in delivering native Android, iOS, and Windows apps with a single shared .NET code base.
