.NET MAUI is a cross‑platform UI framework that lets developers build native mobile and desktop applications using a single C# and XAML codebase. It abstracts Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows into a unified API, enabling shared UI, logic, and resources.
Use cases
- Create a native Android app and an iOS app from the same project
- Build a Windows desktop application that shares UI code with a macOS version
- Develop a cross‑platform business app that runs on tablets, phones, and PCs
- Prototype a UI quickly using XAML and C# without writing platform‑specific code
- Port an existing Xamarin.Forms app to a modern .NET stack
When to choose
- You need a single codebase for Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows
- Your team works primarily in C# and wants to stay within the .NET ecosystem
- You require native performance and platform‑specific UI look‑and‑feel
- You want tight integration with Visual Studio and .NET tooling
When to avoid
- You target platforms not supported by MAUI (e.g., Linux GUI, web browsers)
- Your project relies heavily on existing native UI libraries without .NET bindings
- You need a lightweight solution with minimal runtime overhead
