Bitwarden Mobile: https://github.com/bitwarden/mobile

I will freely admit I am strongly biased against Xamarin as there are so few cases where I think it's unequivocally the right choice, and Bitwarden isn't one of them. It would make more sense to take the work done in their desktop electron app and use that as part of an Ionic hybrid mobile app than to screw around with the layercake of bugs and mismatched APIs that Xamarin is. Moreover, since this is a serious app from a security point of view it really should go full vendor native IMO.

"desktop electron app and use that as part of an Ionic hybrid mobile app"

Whatever you think of Xamarin, there is a special place in hell for all the buggy JS based mobile software. Its not an improvement, just a different flavour of crap.

Do you know of any open source mobile apps that are full vendor native for iOS and Android? I'd really like to peruse some examples of that.

I've been delving more into Podcast clients and on Graphene OS (Android) I really like AntennaPod: https://github.com/AntennaPod/AntennaPod

On iOS I pretty much stick with Castamatic and Overcast, both are full native iOS apps but neither are open source. I'm sure there's something listed at http://www.NewPodcastApps.com which is iOS and full Xcode native.

From a cursory look it seems that OsmAnd [1] and Signal [2] are native for both platforms. Signal Desktop looks like it's Electron-based, though.
