title: Porting android app to xamarin or windows native questions
body: <p>So, I have been developing an android app for some time, and I was requested to try porting this app to windows phone too. In order to reduce the hassle in trying to maintain two separate versions of the same app, I decided to try to port this app into xamarin, because I have heard that its performance is better than hybrid apps. These are my questions with regard to xamarin:-</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>I want to maintain the same look and feel which I had in my original app into my cross platform app, and at the same time, make it distinct in the windows version. What are the things I can do to achieve this effect?</p></li>
  <li><p>Is it rather better for me to port this app to windows phone native, because of added problems in trying to create a common app?</p></li>
  <li><p>Are there any restrictions with regard to Windows store when publishing xamarin apps?</p></li>
  </ol>
