I have a Xamarin.Forms application and I would like to continue using Xamarin.Forms for at least the next 2 years.
I understand that Xamarin.Forms has reached its end of support (official support ended on May 1, 2024), but migrating to .NET MAUI is currently not feasible for our team due to time and resource constraints.
I’m looking for advice on the following:
Is it technically safe to continue using Xamarin.Forms on Android 14/15/16 and iOS 17/18, assuming I can handle breaking changes via renderers or custom code?
Are there any third-party vendors or community groups that still provide paid or open-source support for Xamarin.Forms?
Are there known limitations or critical issues for newer Android/iOS versions that cannot be bypassed without MAUI?
Any leads or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Your main issue will be keeping the build tools working with never versions of the OS.. Xamarin does not support IOS 18 nor the latest version of Xcode. you will need to fix the tools yourself, as you can no longer sign IOS 17 apps. IOS 19 is coming in the fall, and I expect early next year you will not be able to sign IOS 18 any longer. The story is similar with android.
both IOS and andriod are pretty caviler changing the build chain tools with each O/S release.
