Announcing .NET MAUI for .NET 7 General Availability

[png]

David Ortinau

November 8th, 20220 0

   

Six short months ago we introduced you to .NET Multi-platform App UI
(MAUI) and today we are excited to announce the general availability
of .NET MAUI in our next major release, .NET 7. Our primary work in
.NET MAUI during this shortened timeframe has been on addressing your
top feedback reports, improving the performance of CollectionView,
and introducing desktop features as we have expanded your reach
beyond mobile to desktop. This release accompanies the release of
Visual Studio 17.4, and the first .NET MAUI features have graduated
from preview to stable release on Mac.

    .NET MAUI for .NET 7 is supported through May of 2024. This
    includes a 6-month overlap with support for .NET MAUI for .NET 6
    through May of 2023. .NET MAUI support includes the .NET MAUI
    framework as well as the .NET SDKs for Android, CarPlay, iOS,
    macOS, Mac Catalyst, and tvOS.

You, the .NET customers and ecosystem contributors have also been
hard at work building new applications with .NET MAUI, and
modernizing old SDKs and libraries to be .NET compatible. Join us for
the State of .NET MAUI presentation today on the .NET Conf 2022
livestream where we will highlight and celebrate all this progress.

.NET MAUI 7 Themes

This release addresses top feedback issues and introduces new
features for desktop developers. The top feedback theme from you has
been a strong desire to see the quality of the toolkit itself
improved. To that end, this release includes many fixes to the
fundamentals of UI controls and layouts.

Here are some other highlights:

Map Control

In this release we are shipping the .NET MAUI Map control, updated
from Xamarin.Forms. Like our other UI controls, this is a
cross-platform abstraction of the native map control provided by each
platform. Map supports pins, custom pins, drawing polygons,
polylines, and circles, geocoding and geolocation, and also launching
the native map application on the device you're running.

Mobile Rendering Performance

.NET MAUI for .NET 7 is even faster than .NET 6 after 6 short months.
We have optimized the rendering path for basic views, and addressed
several issues that were impacting the smoothness of scrolling in the
CollectionView list control. Jonathan Peppers will share an in-depth
review of these improvements in an upcoming blog post.

Desktop Enhancements

We have been working closely with companies building desktop
applications using .NET MAUI, and were able to include some
enhancements based on their use cases including:

  * Window size and position
  * Context Menus
  * Tooltips
  * Pointer hover gesture
  * Right-click

And more

These are only the highlights.

We'd like to thank all of you who contributed to this release with
your issue reports, pull requests, and thoughtful feedback. Thank
you!

You'll discover more in our release notes, documentation, and
samples.

  * Release notes
      + .NET MAUI 7.0.49
      + Android 33.0.4
      + iOS 16.0.1478
  * Documentation
  * Samples

Compatibility Notes

.NET MAUI 7 is compatible with:

  * Android API 33
  * Tizen 7.0
  * Xcode 14.0.1 (iOS 16)
  * WinUI 1.1.5

    Xcode 14.1 was released during our final QA cycle, so we will be
    adding .NET support in an upcoming service release. For immediate
    usage of Xcode 14.1 you may access builds from our public build
    pipeline.

Get Started

Aquire .NET MAUI and .NET 7 by installing Visual Studio 17.4. When
creating a new .NET MAUI or .NET client application (Android, iOS,
macOS, tvOS), select .NET 7 from the framework selector.

Upgrading from .NET 6

To upgrade your projects from .NET 6 to .NET 7, open your csproj file
and change the target framework monikers (TFM) from 6 to 7.

Before:

<TargetFrameworks>net6.0-ios;net6.0-android;net6.0-maccatalyst;net6.0-tizen</TargetFrameworks>
<TargetFrameworks Condition="$([MSBuild]::IsOSPlatform('windows')) and '$(MSBuildRuntimeType)' == 'Full'">$(TargetFrameworks);net6.0-windows10.0.19041</TargetFrameworks>

After:

<TargetFrameworks>net7.0-ios;net7.0-android;net7.0-maccatalyst;net7.0-tizen</TargetFrameworks>
<TargetFrameworks Condition="$([MSBuild]::IsOSPlatform('windows')) and '$(MSBuildRuntimeType)' == 'Full'">$(TargetFrameworks);net7.0-windows10.0.19041</TargetFrameworks>

Feedback

We guide our investments in .NET MAUI based on your input. Here's how
you can make an impact.

 1. File new SDK issues on GitHub in the dotnet/maui repo
 2. Add a reaction to existing issues that you're also impacted by
 3. Use the Visual Studio Feedback option to submit issues related to
    editing, intellisense, debugging, hot reload, hot restart, remote
    mac, etc.
