My question as the title, I have done that in android using xamarin message center
and I want to know if it is possible for IOS too especially I a beginner IOS developer.
So what I want is to go from xamarin forms page to ios page or the opposite.
You can expose a native iOS or Android page/control to Forms by using a Custom Renderer.

Hello Every one iam a beginner in Xamarin - Cross platforms
so when i downloaded it and starts to work on it , it has not a UI ToolBox like the Android Studio like a Mobile Device which we Drag and drop the items and start to code thats what i mean
is there some thing like that in Xaml -Xamarin Portable Shared platforms
Or a Plugin in NuGet Display a ToolBox with drag and drop in Portable App [Andrid - Windows phone - IOS ] all togethet
There is no drag and drop in xamarin ,you need to code front end manually.
Xamarin has a xaml preview to show how the UI you coded looks.
Xamarin.Forms does not support drag and drop, use xaml for designing the UI which is very easy to learn and use Xamarin Live Player to see the changes. you can get all the information from the link below:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/xamarin-forms/xaml/
Xamarin now has a toolbox which can be used for frontend development, you can drag and drop your controls and layouts in XAML file now.
You can go to View > Toolbox to navigate to the toolbox. For further information you can follow this link.
I have an app written using Xamarin iOS and Android and it uses MvvmCross.
I would like to gradually migrate it to Xamarin Forms. So this would mean new views/controls would be Xamarin Forms, but existing views/Controls would be migrated over time as and when they need to change.
Is it possible for Xamarin Forms, iOS, Android and MvvmCross to co-exist int he same application?
If anyone has done this could you let me know how you went about this, and any problems issues you have come up against.
Here's a project someone is working on that will allow you to navigate to Xamarin Forms Pages as easily as you do Mvx Views.
https://github.com/munkii/MvxAndXamForms
The project has moved to a Fork of MVVMCross 5.0 here, https://github.com/munkii/MvvmCross/tree/develop/TestProjects/Forms/NativeToXF
Hope this helps.

Sorry, I do not have any Experience in Xamarin. Then, I want to connect this Web Server Xamarin App to an iPhone and Android App.
Thanks!
At the core, Xamarin's iOS and Android Technology is based on Mono which in turn implements most of the parts of Microsoft's .Net Stack. So the answer is yes, you could build your backend using .Net with either Microsoft's or Mono's ASP.Net Stacks and have your Xamarin Mobile apps connect to it.
I am new to Xamarin. I have few confusion here.
Question:
How does Xamarin get the Native Look and Feel of the UI Components?.
Does Xamarin Provide their own Widgets [ like button, Layouts, ..].
Here is my understanding Correct me if I am wrong?.
1) Develop the UI [ button, layout...] by native SDK. For example iOS use Xcode. for Android ?.
2) Consider the button, when the button is pressed, the the code which is going to get executed
is common across the platform.
3) So, Since UI are directly from their respective SDK, we get the Native Look and Feel.
Kindly correct me where I misunderstood?.
I think you are way off.
Xamarin provides C# and the .Net (Mono) runtime on iOS and Android. At the same time they expose the native APIs on each platform to C#. So they built a way for C# to call into Objective-C and Java (and vice versa).
This means you develop native UIs on each platform, and can share backend business logic between platforms. A Xamarin app can share somewhere between 50-75% of its code across platforms. There is no general sharing of the UI across platforms, since this would abstract away the native APIs.
To break it down:
Android
Use Xamarin Studio or Visual Studio to develop your C# backend code
Use Xamarin's Android designer to layout native Android XML layouts
iOS
Use Xamarin Studio or Visual Studio* to develop your C# backend code
Use XCode on a Mac to layout storyboard or XIB files for native iOS UI layout
Both options you can create your UI from code as well, but the native APIs will be different on each platform.
*A mac is needed to compile for iOS
