Introducing .NET Multi-platform App UI (MAUI)

MAUI is:

  • Multi-platform native UI
  • Deploy to multiple devices across mobile & desktop
  • Using a single project, single codebase
  • Evolution of Xamarin.Forms
  • Targeting .NET 6, previews end of year

Status: Planning and Early Development

While Xamarin.Forms continues to be actively developed to meet customer needs today, we are proposing evolutionary changes based on some early customer research of what would be most beneficial.

Active development is happening today to build Android and iOS SDKs against the next version of .NET. Samples may be found here.

Goals

  • Improve app performance
  • Improve simplicity of control extensibility
  • Improve simplicity of contributing
  • Enable developer options to use Model-View-Update (MVU) and Blazor

Roadmap

.NET MAUI and mobile SDK support will ship in concert with .NET 6. At present we do not have a shipping schedule for .NET 6.

Milestones

  • MAUI previews Q4 2020 through Q3 2021
  • MAUI release candidate September 2021
  • MAUI general availability November 2021
