This preview adds new project templates and tools for you to target the Apache Cordova project within Visual Studio. It is built on top the existing great HTML, CSS and JavaScript tooling in Visual Studio, but it integrates it with Apache Cordova, so you have things like intellisense support for the Cordova API, build for any targeted platform such as Android and directly from Visual Studio, run and debug the app on a device emulator or a remote device.
The cool thing about these tools is that you will naturally know how to use it if you are familiar with web development. It supports TypeScript, which is very handy for these applications that can get very complex. It also supports the most popular JavaScript frameworks that you are probably using already for your mobile web applications such as Angular, JQuery Mobile or Backbone.
Now you have the option to choose the multi-device strategy that is better for you:
Native development with .NET
Hybrid development with HTML and CSS

Sharing Cross-Platform Code with Xamarin z
C# + XIB
C# + AXML
C# + XAML
Native UI
Shared
client app C# logic
Share app logic across platforms
Reach Windows, iOS and Android devices
Leverage the most productive and powerful platform for creating native applications
Maximize code reuse with Universal Projects & Portable Class Libraries
100% APIs exposed
Everything you can do in xCode or ADT you can do with Visual Studio
Xamarin and Visual Studio are far and away the most productive and powerful platform for building rich, native apps that can run on multiple platforms. Working only in C#, you can leverage the skills you already have to create app logic that Xamarin will allow you to share across any platform. With the combination of Universal Projects and Portable Class Libraries you can combine shared app logic that can access 100% of the underlying platform with rich, full featured platform specific UI layers for the best of both worlds: great experiences running natively and maximum code sharing all from a single solution.
With Visual Studio 2015 Preview, Xamarin has become a first class citizen.

4. Cross-Platform C++ Code Portability
11/17/2018
Cross-Platform C++
Code Portability
Bring your C++ code forward to today’s mobile platforms
Broad compatibility with support for iOS and Android technologies
Great cross-platform code authoring and debugging experience
Get started quickly with fully integrated solution in Visual Studio
Many organizations have critical code bases written in C++ that have been highly optimized over the years that they would like to extend onto new platforms. With C++ for MDD there is no need for expensive ports into new languages, developers can build C++ libraries that execute across multiple targets, including iOS, Windows Desktop, Windows Store, and Android. You can even take advantage of your optimized C++ libraries from a C#/Xamarin app, giving you the maximum flexibility.
Whether you’re bringing across an existing application, or looking to leverage C++’s amazing performance in your new modern apps, Visual Studio offers the industry leading developer experience you would expect. A complete, end-to-end ALM and DevOps solution, from code authoring to automated builds, deployments and a full-featured debugging experience.

UI design in Visual Studio
User experiences are now a critical feature in every application. Getting the right fit and finish requires the right tools to test Uis from a variety of platform. The combination of Visual Studio, Blend and the Windows Store app emulator has always offered a great platform designing and building Windows Store apps. With Visual Studio 2015, we add the ability to design and emulate Android apps as well. You can target multiple screen sizes and resolutions, creating rich layouts in native resource formats.
When combined with Xamarin 3, you get an iOS designer as well, giving you complete access to logic sharing across multiple platforms, as well as best-in-class design and emulation tools. No other platform ever approaches this level of functionality for cross-platform development.
