Case Study: Taxfyle achieves faster, more reliable mobile app delivery with Microsoft Xamarin

Taxfyle disrupts the traditional tax industry with personal and business filing apps

Taxfyle, a company aiming to simplify tax filing, faced the challenge of building a secure, mission-critical mobile app for its on-demand service. They initially developed their app using JavaScript, but encountered instability and a difficult release cycle, which threatened their ability to establish trust with users handling sensitive information. To overcome this, they turned to Microsoft and its tools, including Xamarin.

By adopting Microsoft's Xamarin, the Taxfyle team was able to rebuild their Android and iOS apps from the ground up in less than five months. This solution allowed them to share over 70% of their code across platforms, significantly increasing development efficiency and stability. They utilized Microsoft's Xamarin Test Cloud for automated testing to catch bugs and integrated crash reporting to quickly address issues. The result was a highly successful app, achieving an average of 4.5+ star ratings in public app stores and helping Taxfyle securely disrupt the traditional tax industry.
