Abstract
The article presents a comparison of times needed for creating a mobile application for Android and iOS system using multi-platform Xamarin technology and respective native technologies for both systems. The authors’ application was implemented in three programming environments: VisualStudio (using Xamarin technology), Android Studio and XCode. The results of the conducted research have shown that the
creation of an application in Xamarin technology takes approximately half the time.
