Are there free alternatives to xamarin forms?

Question

Java

In general, the whole point is in the question, I like the idea of ​​​​writing interfaces in code, but I don’t like xaml at all, xamarin forms is available only in a paid studio, are there free analogues?

Answer 1

xamarin forms is a free and open source framework. development is possible in visual studio 2019 community or visual studio for mac, which are also free. if you don't like xaml, you can write the interface in code or look towards xamarin native + mvvmcross
ps: xamarin forms are being replaced by MAUI, which promises to add MVU
