Introduction:
MvvmCross is a cross-platform MVVM framework that enables developers to create powerful cross platform apps. It supports Xamarin.iOS, Xamarin.Android, Xamarin.Mac, Xamarin.Forms, Universal Windows Platform (UWP) and Windows Presentation Framework (WPF).
When we take a look at the basic architecture patterns of Xamarin.Forms, we see some of the same concepts of MvvmCross. Forms implements Mvvm as well, and offers built-in support for Dependency injection, multiple Navigation patterns, Data-binding and messaging between loosely coupled components. Also this allows us to move the ViewModels to a portable project (PCL) and re-use this code throughout all the different UI projects.
