I’ve been using MAUI Blazor awhile now. Little to no bugs at all. It’s so much better than regular MAUI from what I understand. I still get all the native goodies I want without the MAUI bugs. People forget that Xamarin was / is exactly like this.
Tell you a joke: I used be a junior WindowsPhone developer and now I am a senior Uber Eats deliver.
You don't realize that MAUI is not only a UI framework. It is also an utility library to access platform hardware functionalities and permissions bound to them which are crucial in mobile development.
I'm building an application for the company I work, completely from scratch. Im actually becoming really good at it, I'm exploring it a lot and I like it
The biggest issue with MAUI is that it is not beta. Leaving people think that they can actually use it :)
3:45 Wait wait wait WinForms did not get abandoned. UWP and these new Win8+ frameworks did because there is always a newer, from scratch, soon abandoned new Windows UI framework.
Seriously, People saying that MAUI is really buggy often those guys have never used MAUI for serious application for my case I'm building apps for different companies and yes there's some bugs as any other framework, but nothing impossible to solve....
What are the advantages of using MAUI over Electron JS or React Native? if the answer is just "We can now build cross platform apps with C#" then yes, the framework will probably be abandoned near future. Despite all the complaints Electron JS is a tried and tested framework and so is React Native, MAUI has to provide some significant advantages over them to be taken seriously.
We attempted to use Maui for a new project and gave up after about 3 months. Its just not ready for prime tiime yet. I looked at net core 8 as well but the issues we had don't appear to be fixed in that either.
I am currently building a .NET MAUI Hybrid app. It's amazing.
.Net Maui / XAML feels antiquated. Xamarin / Maui has always been buggy. My bet is that Microsoft is going to pull the plug on it, like Silverlight. I also believe that someone inside of Microsoft is working on "Blazor Native", which would be great.
Being using .net maui from .net 8 targeting wpf, andriod and ios, and no issues so far. However I really do wish MS bakes in alot more native controls within the framework like flutter.
The problem with MAUI is that it's already 2024 and it's still worse than Xamarin!
I try .NET MAUI every year to see if the bugs are fixed, I just tried it today: No, it's still bugged. I can't run the SAMPLE PROJECT because of a bug during Windows deployment, it can't find the splash screen
I'm not complaining, it's still new and I'm giving it time, Maui team are active and fixing all that I asked for.
I think MAUI def has hope, unfortunately its had a rough start and we have held off for ages in migrating from Xamarin but its def having more appeal to migrate which we are starting very soon.
Without Linux, the MAUI framework is worthless to me.
Switched to Avalonia. Never going to touch WPF, Maui, UWP, WinUi again.
Really appreciate the video. Am about to launch deep and dirty into a x-platform mobile app with Maui. Subscribed.
