  Only Xamarin.Forms uses MVVM pattern , Xamarin.iOS uses MVC like native iOS.

  Xamarin.iOS uses the Mvc pattern as a default, but there are plenty of frameworks that allow you to use the Mvvm pattern in native Xamarin. (It is increasingly becoming the preferred style anyway). MvvmCross is one of the more popular ones...

  Just to clarify, @ColeX is right, out of the box Xamarin.iOS/Android both use the MVC pattern (just like Swift/ObjC). It's becoming increasingly less popular to follow the MVC pattern (especially in larger applications), and this is where third party open source projects like MvvmCross come in.

  Projects like MvvmCross allow full access to the native API's of every platform, so it's still possible to implement custom navigation/presenters etc.

  @VamsiValiveru This Xamarin Native sol'n uses MvvmCross:

  https://github.com/mikeacosta/mvx-custom-binding

  It currently only has a Xamarin.Android project, as well as the shared Core project, but a Xamarin.iOS project could be added, and the iOS Setup class would be modified to derive from MvxIosSetup<App>.

  Feel free to clone that repo, add an iOS projects and run it - a great way to learn.

  Here's another example:
