How can I natively launch an external app from within Xamarin.Forms?
<p>As the question title suggests, I'm looking for a way to launch an external app from within a <strong>Xamarin.Forms</strong> app. For example, my app has a list of addresses, and when the user taps on one of them, the built-in map app for the current platform would open (Google Maps for Android, Apple Maps for iOS). In case it matters, I am only targeting Android and iOS. </p>

<p>I could use a dependency service and write the app-launching code on a per-platform basis, of course, but I'd prefer if I only had to write it once. Is there a native way to do this in Xamarin.Forms? I was unable to find anything that officially documented this on the Xamarin site or forums. </p>
