At our company, we developed a WinRT app (Windows 8.1) that uses our main application as a backend. This code is written in C#, using Crosslight to access our internal SQLite database (for offline usage), for IoC and as a base for the ViewModels (and thus supporting navigation between the different ViewModels).
One of our customers is asking for a version for iPad and/or Android devices. We are willing to develop a port of this app, but are wondering if we could do this with the use of Xamarin.Forms, as we would like to have a minimum of code differences between the different platforms. 
Can we re-use the currently existing backend code (IoC, Database layer, ...) and the viewmodels using Crosslight, and have the frontend built with Xamarin.Forms?
