What is the future of MAUI? #29647
-
|
I watched Microsoft Build and there wasn't much about MAUI. Looking around on the internet, there are a lot of commentators that say that Microsoft is not interested in continuing the development of MAUI. One of the proofs of that is that Microsoft fired important software engineers from the MAUI team. The same commentators give advice to move to Avalonia or Uno. On X there is this https://x.com/migueldeicaza/status/1922409129567563855?t=niaTRg-0tDzr4MCQwyKigw.
Could you confirm if Microsoft is planning to do so or those comments are completely untrue? |

I would love to know it too... we invested heavily in Maui as we ported all our apps from Xamarin , as we had a couple of years of rollercoster with the quality and we have now finally reached stability and then this kind of news.. No easy to justify to customers on why we use maui, @davidortinau anything to add ? Silence does not help |

My understanding is MAUI has been in maintenance since net8: Fixing bugs, improving performance, but no real new features or anything really innovating. Has been the same thing with net9 and same thing is pretty much planned for net10. |

That's good! Before adding, they are working on the backlog... You should be happy for that! |

Build is not our primary conference, it's .NET Conf which we just announced the dates for 2025, November 11-13. Hope to see you there! Our commitment to the longevity of .NET MAUI continues unchanged. I hope everyone has a chance to watch our Build breakout session AI infused mobile & desktop app development with .NET MAUI. While it's not a future of MAUI style presentation, I do highlight the wonderful product momentum we are seeing. During Build we also hosted 2 .NET MAUI Hybrid lab sessions led by Beth Massi and James Montemagno that were packed out. And Gerald Versluis showed off some great productivity work we have been doing in Visual Studio during a theater demo session. Coincidentally Satya also mentioned some of that in his Keynote. Compared to last Build this is way more .NET MAUI content, and in neither case was it a reflection of commitment to the product. Today we have more contributors to .NET MAUI than ever before, thanks in good part to the amazing partnership from Syncfusion and our consistent and wonderful community. Our product roadmap is up to date. |

Arguably, the Build session was super interesting but was more about VS/Copilot Tooling and showcasing existing MAUI Hybrid capabilities than about showcasing anything "new" in MAUI itself. There's nothing wrong in acknowledging again that most work in net8/9/10 has been in stabilizing on the initial MAUI vision vs building net new capabilities. Would it be fair to conclude that the recommended approach and where salvation resides for MAUI is in the MAUI+Blazor Hybrid stack? |
