.NET Conf Focus on MAUI – That’s a wrap!
.NET Conf: Focus on MAUI is a wrap! Our one-day .NET MAUI developer conference coincided with the release of Visual Studio 2022 version 17.3 an the launch of general availability of .NET MAUI tooling. The day was packed with sessions covering all topics of building beautiful multi-platform apps with .NET MAUI including designing UI, publishing apps, real-time apps, and so much more. In this post, I will cover some highlights from the event and give you all the information to get caught up on recordings and ongoing .NET MAUI activities that you can get involved with today.

MAUI team is very slow in providing fixes on issues. There are so many bugs and more and more are discovered everyday. The test infrastructure seems to be underestimated and the developer team as well. There is little feedback for issues from may, june etc and they will be probably lost in history.
The bugs from last 30 days haven’t been even verified yet.
SwipeView hasn’t been working properly for 4 months and still counting! https://github.com/dotnet/maui/issues/6018
At last! VS 17.3 this is what is .NET MAUI GA for me. Unfortunately, the developers have accumulated a lot of bugs by this time, and instead of fixing them, they are chasing the next version. I don’t think this is the right approach.
