What an awful and painful process

Yeah... that's why almost nobody uses Xamarin. The fast approaching train if you're invested in Xamarin (for others, the light at the end of the tunnel) is SwiftUI which is the first good SDK designed to create cross platform user interfaces.

SwiftUI isn't on Windows yet - but it's coming.

Its hard to make a commercial decision for something that’s coming someday. But I hope it does arrive - I like Swift as a language (OMG - it was such a pleasure after the ugliness that is Objective C).
