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 flexible solution for cross-platform app development.

Single sign-in You, like many other developers today, take advantage of multiple cloud services when developing your applications. For example, you've probably added a cloud backend to your applications to store data, stored your source code in the cloud, or published an application to a store. In the past, each of these services required a separate sign-in process, and each service managed the signed-in user state separately. With this release, reducing the authentication prompts required to access many integrated cloud services in Visual Studio. Now, when you authenticate to the first cloud service in Visual Studio, will automatically sign you in, or reduce the authentication prompts for other integrated cloud services.
