Reason for opening this issue:
Follow-up to #1023 / #1024 / #1025.
That PR fixes the dead fabulous.dev links, but the surrounding text on both /guides/mobile-apps/ and /use/mobile-apps/ still describes a discontinued stack.
Xamarin.Forms has been retired (Microsoft moved to .NET MAUI), so "Option 1: ... using Xamarin" (/use/mobile-apps/) no longer applies.
Fabulous also moved off Xamarin.Forms — it now targets .NET MAUI and Avalonia (fabulous-dev/Fabulous).
The sample apps (Fabulous Weather, FabulousContacts) are old Xamarin.Forms-era examples.

Issue:
Xamarin.Forms has been retired by Microsoft in favor of .NET MAUI, so the former Xamarin-based workflow is no longer the recommended path.
Suggested fix:
Option 1: Build Android and iOS Apps using F# and Fabulous
Fabulous is F#'s declarative, MVU-style UI framework and now targets .NET MAUI and Avalonia, letting you build apps for iOS, Android, macOS, Windows and Linux from a single F# codebase.
