.NET MAUI, an open-source evolution of Xamarin.Forms, expands from mobile to desktop environments, featuring rebuilt UI controls for enhanced performance and flexibility. Familiar to Xamarin.Forms users, .NET MAUI supports single-project development for multi-platform apps, with provisions for platform-specific code and resources. Its primary goal is to streamline app logic and UI layout into a unified codebase, simplifying cross-platform development.
.NET MAUI consolidates Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows APIs into a unified interface, enabling developers to write code once and run it across multiple platforms. It also offers extensive access to each platform’s native capabilities and features.
