Hire Xamarin developers to build and scale your software.

There is no single rate for Xamarin developers. Cost depends on the seniority you need, the engagement model you choose (adding developers to your team, a dedicated team, or a fixed-price project), how long the engagement runs and the scope of the work. For Xamarin work, the biggest drivers are how many custom renderers, native bindings and unsupported NuGet packages the app relies on, whether the UI is redesigned during the move, and how urgently store SDK requirements force a release. Share your requirements and we will come back with a quote for your situation.

You tell us the technology, seniority, role and team structure you need. We recommend Xamarin developer profiles that match those requirements, and you review the profiles and speak with the engineers yourself before anyone joins your team. When you interview, the areas worth testing are replacing Xamarin.Forms custom renderers with MAUI handlers; auditing NuGet dependencies for .NET MAUI compatibility; regenerating native bindings for iOS and Android SDKs; mVVM patterns and dependency injection in .NET MAUI; keeping legacy Xamarin build agents and signing working; and store SDK requirements that affect release planning.

It depends on which engineers with the right skills are available when you get in touch, so we do not publish a fixed start date. Availability is part of the conversation when we recommend profiles, and the start date is agreed with you before the engagement begins.

Because you interview the engineers before anyone joins, fit is tested before work starts. If concerns come up once the engagement is running, raise them with us directly. How changes to the team are handled is set out in the terms you agree with us at the start.

A freelancer suits small, well-defined tasks you can manage yourself. A dedicated developer joins your team under your direction. A dedicated team adds several roles around your product, and a project-based team delivers a defined outcome end to end.

Microsoft ended support for all Xamarin SDKs in May 2024, so there are no further fixes, security patches or updates for new Xcode and Android SDK releases. Installed apps keep running, but as Apple and Google raise their minimum SDK requirements, publishing updates from a Xamarin project becomes increasingly difficult.

The project moves to a single SDK-style project targeting modern .NET. Custom renderers are replaced by handlers, namespaces change, and many Xamarin.Forms APIs map directly. The real work is usually third-party libraries and custom renderers with no MAUI equivalent, which need replacements or rewritten platform code.

Only partly. An app cannot run Xamarin and MAUI screens side by side, but shared business logic can be moved to .NET Standard or modern .NET libraries first, dependencies audited and replaced, and the UI project converted afterwards. This keeps the Xamarin app releasable while groundwork happens.

Where the stores still accept the build, yes: we pin working toolchain versions, keep signing and CI pipelines reproducible, and patch critical defects. Because Xamarin cannot target newer platform SDKs, this is a bridge rather than a long-term plan, so the migration timeline should reflect store requirement dates.

MAUI is usually the shortest path for a C# team, since models, services and MVVM code carry over. A rebuild in Flutter, React Native or native code can make sense when the UI needs a redesign anyway, the team's skills lie elsewhere, or key dependencies have no .NET MAUI support.

They move to .NET for iOS and .NET for Android, the successors to those SDKs. Most platform binding code and C# logic carries over, but project files, build properties and some APIs change, and any native bindings for third-party SDKs need regenerating against the new toolchain.

Largely, yes. ViewModels, commands and data binding work the same way in MAUI, and the .NET Community Toolkit's MVVM library works well with it. Older frameworks such as MvvmCross or Prism need checking for MAUI-compatible versions, and dependency injection moves to MAUI's built-in host builder.
