Building responsive UIs with .NET MAUI

Microsoft .NET MAUI is the new version of Xamarin.Forms. There have been some significant changes between Xamarin.Forms version 5.0 and .NET MAUI (Xamarin.Forms version 6.0). The biggest change in MAUI has been to combine the Android, iOS, and macOS projects into a main project. While the code specific to Windows still resides in its own project, Microsoft is working to include the Windows code in the main project. This will lead to us having one single project for writing cross-platform applications using C# and XAML. Let’s have a look at some of the other improvements to building cross-platform applications using .NET MAUI.

Note

If you are using an early version of MAUI, to run the Windows project, you will need to set the Windows project as the startup project and deploy the project. Once the project is deployed, you can run the application from the Windows start menu.
