Using MvvmCross in Xamarin Native Project (Xamarin.Android, Xamarin.iOS)

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).

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.
