Overview of this book

An evolution of Xamarin.Forms, .NET MAUI is a cross-platform framework for creating native mobile and desktop apps with C# and XAML. Using .NET MAUI, you can develop apps that’ll run on Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows from a single shared codebase. In this revised edition of .NET MAUI Cross-Platform Application Development you will be introduced to .NET 8 and get up to speed with app development in no time. The book begins by showing you how to develop a cross-platform application using .NET MAUI, including guidance for migrating from Xamarin.Forms. You’ll gain all the knowledge needed to create a cross-platform application for Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows following an example project step by step. As you advance, you’ll integrate the latest frontend technology into your app using Blazor components, including the new Blazor Bindings feature. After this, you’ll learn how to test and deploy your apps. With new coverage on creating mock .NET MAUI components, you can develop unit tests for your application. You will additionally learn how to perform Razor component testing using bUnit. By the end of this book, you’ll have learned how to develop your own cross-platform applications using .NET MAUI.

Testing and Deployment

In Part 1 of this book, we delved into .NET MAUI app development, while in Part 2, we explored .NET MAUI Blazor Hybrid app development. As a result, we now have two different versions of the password management app from Part 1 and Part 2. Both the XAML and Blazor Hybrid apps utilize the MVVM pattern in their design. While introducing the MVVM pattern, we highlighted the ability to test the view model and model independently. So, after the initial two parts of this book, we have thorough practice in app development.

In Part 3 of this book, we will turn our attention to other important aspects of software development, namely unit testing in .NET MAUI and the deployment process for .NET MAUI apps. By learning how to create mock components in unit tests, you will learn how to examine software modules within an isolated environment.

Part 3 includes the following chapters:

  • Chapter 11, Developing Unit Tests
  • Chapter 12, Deploying and Publishing...
