.NET MAUI is Microsoft's cross-platform framework for building native mobile and desktop applications with C# and XAML from a single shared codebase. It targets Android, iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and Windows, and is the evolution of Xamarin.Forms.
Use cases
- build a mobile app for android and ios with c#
- create a cross-platform desktop app for windows and macos
- migrate a xamarin.forms app to .net
- share one codebase across mobile and desktop platforms
- build native ui apps with xaml and mvvm
- develop a tablet app from a single project
When to choose
- your team knows C# and .NET and wants native mobile/desktop apps
- you need one codebase targeting Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows
- you want deep Visual Studio tooling and Microsoft support
- you are upgrading an existing Xamarin.Forms application
When to avoid
- you need a web-based app or responsive website (use ASP.NET or a JS framework)
- you target Linux desktop as a first-class platform
- you prefer Flutter, React Native, or native Swift/Kotlin toolchains
- you need pixel-perfect custom UI with maximal ecosystem plugins
