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.

Improving our app

In Chapter 4, Exploring MVVM and Data Binding, we analyzed various use cases and developed a few. In this section, utilizing the knowledge we have acquired, we will augment the existing use cases and introduce new ones.

We will be working on the following use cases:

  • Use case 1: As a password manager user, I want to log in to the password manager app so that I can access my password data.

In this use case, we have not yet fully implemented user login; we plan to complete this in the subsequent chapter. For now, we will implement a pseudo-logic that encompasses all aspects except the data layer.

Previously, in Chapter 4, Exploring MVVM and Data Binding, we covered a use case that supports one level of navigation.

  • Use case 3: As a password manager user, I want to see a list of groups and entries so that I can explore my password data.

To accommodate multiple levels of navigation, we will implement the following use cases...
