Thank you for your question. I understand you need to create an app for your website.

You can create a XAMARIN Forms application, add a web view control to your main page and load your website in it. Make sure your website is responsive, so it will display correctly in the mobile app.

Hope this helps

By the way, if @rana007 your web page use JavaScript, you need to write a custom renderer for WebView and enable the JavaScript settings. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/xamarin-forms/app-fundamentals/custom-renderer/hybridwebview

thank you for this. i was looking for some ready made boilerplate or template similar to O_D_Apps_View. i also have checked open source xamarin apps but i didn't find any boilerplate or template that ease opening website url in ios and android app with javascript and cookies features.

If you want to keep the sign in, you can use CookieManager in webview's custom renderer. And set the cache to true: webView_1.Settings.SetAppCacheEnabled(true);
