MVVM light or MVVM cross in xamarin portable

I have to convert a UWP app to be compatible on all OS. I am creating cross platform- Native portable xamarin project for this and not using xamarn.forms and whose core is a PCL. I have used MVVM light in my existing UWP app. I see that mvvm light is not compatible in xamarin.touch. What should I go ahead with? Can I use mvvm light for windows phone project and mvvm cross for others? or Should I use mvvm cross for all?

Solution

  • Why do you think MvvM light is not working with Xamarin.iOS? MvvMLight is available for

    • Windows Presentation Foundation (3.5, 4, 4.5, 4.5.1)
    • Silverlight (4 and 5)
    • Windows Phone (7.1, 8, 8.1 Silverlight, 8.1 RT)
    • Windows Store (8, 8.1)
    • Xamarin Android
    • Xamarin iOS
    • Xamarin Forms

    So you can use MvvM light or MvvMCross. I'd not recommend to use both frameworks in one project.
