I have strayed away from frameworks like MvvmCross and ReactiveUI, just because I would have a hard time getting my full team up to speed using complicated frameworks like these. It has data binding - I have been wanting this on iOS and Android for a long time.I’m not sure any of us knew how close this was coming. You can use XAML - we were loosely talking about having this one day cross platform on. After a quick trial run, I feel like we might start using this for all cross-platform apps we build at Hitcents. However, the final product seems amazing in comparison to that first version I saw. I played with an early preview version of this feature earlier this year (then named QuickUI) and was pretty underwhelmed. I guess you would have to run NuGet on the command line to do it (typing ‘nuget’ in a console is already in my path by default, so maybe a non issue). I have used it to downgrade certain packages, and I don’t currently see a way to do that in Xamarin Studio. I know we don’t have powershell on the Mac, but it’s nice to use this feature occasionally in Visual Studio. There is a Package Manager Console that shows NuGet output, but there doesn’t seem to be a command line option for NuGet.However, it would be helpful if you plan on opening the solution on Windows in Visual Studio or trying to compile and run tests with CI. Opening a project in Xamarin Studio might auto-restore on its own. However, I don’t know if this is needed or not on the Mac. I don’t see a way to right click on the solution and “Enable NuGet Package Restore” like in Visual Studio. This let’s you see NuGet packages in the solution tree.
