Is there any way to create a Xamarin Forms app targeting iOS Universal Apps like you can with Xamarin?

If not what is the best way to handle targeting both iPhone and iPad?

So far I've been leveragign the Device.Idiom functionality.

We're using MVVM light, so I have a common ViewModel and I've extended the INavigation Service so that i can configure it with both a Phone & Tablet page.

Then when I call

_navigationService.NavigateTo(PageKey, ViewModel);

The navgiation service will lookup the key in the configuration dictionary, and decide based on the idiom (Phone / Tablet) whether to the return the PhoneVersion or TabletVersion of the page.
