Building Your iOS User Interface with Xamarin and C#

In September, Apple released the most recent version of iOS, iOS 8, and since then the iOS 8.1. The company also released two new phones -- the iPhone 6 with a 4.7-inch screen, and iPhone 6 Plus with a 5.5-inch screen -- and refreshed the iPad line with new versions of the iPad Air and iPad Mini. And those iPads, interestingly, have different screen resolutions and pixel densities than the iPhone. At the same time, Apple continues to sell older versions of its devices.

For developers, all these new releases represent the dreaded OS fragmentation that developers fear. How are developers going to handle the variations in old and new devices and screen sizes? Thankfully, Apple and Xamarin have thought this through and have created some flexible UI tools that I'll look at.
