Description

With the decision to use C# and to decouple the code base, it would be awesome to use Xamarin to make the renewed interest in mRemoteNG available to Mac OS and Mobile app platforms.

I have been looking into using Xamarin for some upcoming cross platform projects but have no personal experience actually using it. However, if no one else is interested/able to do this feature request, I will try to make the time to start working on it (after the code base has stabilized a bit).
