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.

Configuring the resources

Resource management is one of the major differences between .NET MAUI and Xamarin.

Cross-platform development presents unique challenges as each platform has its own method for managing resources. This diversity can pose significant management tasks for development teams. For instance, we must incorporate multiple image sizes to accommodate various resolutions.

In Xamarin, most of the resources are managed separately in platform-specific projects. If we want to add an image, we must add the image files with different sizes to all platform projects separately.

.NET MAUI provides an elegant solution to manage resources effectively. The design goal of one single project for all supported platforms helps to manage resources in one place.

In .NET MAUI, resource files can be tagged into different categories using a build action based on the role they play in the project, as we can see in Table 2.2:
