What is the difference between Xamarin and Flutter?

The question is about Xamarin

Answer:

The difference between Xamarin and Flutter lies in their approaches to cross-platform development, languages, and ecosystem. Xamarin, which is from Microsoft uses C# and .NET. In this way, its developers can share code between iOS, Android, and even Windows, all while still accessing native APIs. It works really easily in Visual Studio, thus making it pretty friendly for those who are currently working within Microsoft’s ecosystem. Flutter, on the other hand, is developed by Google, is using a programming language called Dart, and has put most of their focus on IOS and Android. Flutter uses a special approach, called “widget,” which allows it to customize a lot and have great visual consistency across the board. It is known for its fast development cycle and “hot reload” feature, something that immediately shows changes to the developer. While Xamarin allows a more native feel by wrapping around native components, Flutter makes UIs from scratch for each platform in question; this gives more flexibility but forces developers to work within its widget framework.
