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.

Managing the source code in this book

Since we will develop a password manager app incrementally in this book, the source code of each chapter is built on top of the previous chapters. To continuously improve our app, we will have separate branches for the source code of each chapter. If you want to clone the source code of all chapters in one command, you can clone it from the main branch. In the main branch, all the chapters are in separate folders. If you don’t want to use Git, you can also download the source code as a compressed file from the release area, as shown in the following screenshot (Figure 2.1):

Since new .NET MAUI releases may be available from time to time, the Git tags and versions in the release area will be updated according to the new .NET MAUI releases and bug fixes.
