Oleksandr has been contributing to the official experiment project, and singlehandedly updated it to support .NET MAUI. He even now has documentation on his fork.

If you fancy writing your .NET MAUI using Blazor components and Razor syntax, check this out!

MetroLog

The Frenchman Jean-Marie Alfonsi is shipping an updated fork of this popular logging framework from Claire Novotny with .NET MAUI compatibility.

A lightweight logging system targeting .Net 6 and beyond.

MetroLog.Net6 Nuget
MetroLog.Maui Nuget

Overview

MetroLog.Net6 is a .NET 6 lightweight logging framework designed primarily for mobile platforms like iOS and Android.

The intention is that MetroLog is mostly compatible with NLog. Both the surface area and internal construction should just about match.

However, to achieve better startup performance, configuration is only possible through code.

Configuration

Configuration is made through the crossing of a target and log levels.

A target specify how the logs will be stored. For example, you can use the DebugTarget to show your logs in the debug output Or you could use the FileSnapshotTarget to store your logs in a file.

The log levels describe the level of criticality. You bind each target to a set of log levels.

Standard configuration

    var config = new LoggingConfiguration()
#if RELEASE
    config.AddTarget(
        LogLevel.Info, 
        LogLevel.Fatal, 
        
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Bottom Sheet

I tested this on Mac Catalyst and it works as advertised. Bottom sheets a really pretty easy, and there are a few options out there if you don't fancy building your own.
