MAUI to replace Xamarin

NET Multi-platform App UI (MAUI) NET Multi-platform App UI (MAUI) is a multi-platform technology for developing mobile (iOS and Android) and desktop (Windows and Mac) applications. NET MAUI is an evolution of Xamarin. Forms, they have most of their features in common. You can get almost all things in . NET MAUI that Xamarin has, like controls, layouts, Shell, gestures, templates, and cross-platform APIs for device features. Disadvantages It is a new product that has just been released and, although the released version is stable, some essential controls such as maps are still missing. Does Maui replace WPF? Building a WPF app is not supported in MAUI - as noted, they are two different UI implementations which both run on . Net 6. WPF is Windows specific, while MAUI is cross-platform. Compared to Flutter Flutter apps tend to be smaller and faster than those built with . NET MAUI. This is partly due to the small size of the compiled code. Overall, Flutter provides a more efficient and fl

Performance is a key focus of .NET 7, and all of its features are designed with performance in mind. In addition, .NET 7 includes the following enhancements aimed purely at performance: On-stack replacement (OSR) is a complement to tiered compilation. It allows the runtime to change the code executed by a currently running method in the middle of its execution (that is, while it's "on stack"). Long-running methods can switch to more optimized versions mid-execution. Profile-guided optimization (PGO) now works with OSR and is easier to enable (by adding <TieredPGO>true</TieredPGO> to your project file). PGO can also instrument and optimize additional things, such as delegates. Improved code generation for Arm64. Native AOT produces a standalone executable in the target platform's file format with no external dependencies. It's entirely native, with no IL or JIT , and provides fast startup time and a small, self-contained deployment. In .NET 7, Native
