And we’re excited to announce several different ways to learn .NET MAUI. Whether you already have vast experience building cross-platform apps from the Xamarin days or are a brand-new cross-platform developer, there’s something here for you.

Hi, I would like to see a tutorial when you create MAUI app on Mac and run it on physical devices (iOS and Android) as it’s not as straightforward as it was/is with Xamarin – (especially iOS devices fail to build due to ios-arm64 error so .csproj files changes are needed; maybe it was fixed in latest VS Preview – haven’t checked yet).
At the moment all I have seen is Windows + Android emulator…
Thanks
I described it in my article: link
See section Issues.
Thank you Marcin! I will pass that along to the docs team.
I’d love a guide on authentication in MAUI – I’ve found two relevant ones but can’t get either to work, SO question here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/72641363/net-maui-webauthenticator-callbackurl-for-social-logins
Also can’t wait for Maps!
Thanks James. An entire series on Azure + MAUI is on the backlog. Auth is definitely a part of that.
Hi, I hope microsoft can simplified the steps to make 3rd party library binding (maybe by AI, machine learning, just an idea. Or something like Remobject Element that can interact with JVM/Cocoa directly). MAUI is still using the way same as Xamarin to make binding, and it’s quite difficult and painful and make people gave up, especially when the 3rd party library has dependency on other 3rd library.

Is there anywhere out a tutorial how to implement login with user/pass in MAUI ? With Token-Auth and social-login or REST Api login? (Apple/Google/Microsoft/Facebook/etc…) So that you can implement a app with user-relevant information.
