I've been working on a new mobile app for some time now. I wanted to implement it in .NET MAUI. This has been in General Availability status since the end of May and has been positioned as the successor to Xamarin.
During the development of the app, disillusionment quickly set in because I was affected by one of the more than 1200 issues that are open in Github which are flagged as bugs. I haven't checked Github beforehand, so I was really astonished how many bugs are reported and still not solved. Some of them are already flagged with .NET8.
Besides these bugs there are several hundred other issues.
These numbers are of course across all supported platforms.
On some controls like the CollectionView properties or methods are still marked as "To be added".
Using third party tools does not make one’s life easier, because many .NET MAUI controls are still in preview mode.
To use unit tests on Windows you have make manual modifications in the project files of the app to be tested. Also something which is not really well done.
All in all, .NET MAUI doesn't look like a system I want to use productively. Love to read your opinion about .NET MAUI in the comments.
