Xamarin Visual Studio

At Build 2016, Microsoft announced that Xamarin will come with Visual Studio for free. Xamarin will be in every edition of Visual Studio, including the free Visual Studio Community Edition, which is free for individual developers, open source projects, academic research, education, and small professional teams.

Develop and publish native apps for iOS and Android with C# or F# from directly within Visual Studio with no limits on app size.

For developers on the Mac, Xamarin Studio is now available as a benefit of your Visual Studio Professional or Enterprise subscription. Developers can use the newly-created Xamarin Studio Community Edition for free.
