When to Migrate to .NET MAUI from Xamarin and When to Avoid It
It has been for everyone to see that mobile apps have changed life as we know it. The ever-growing popularity of smartphones and tablets must be thanked for it. It must be noted that Xamarin has played an important role here. Why? Well, there are plenty of reasons. One of the biggest ones is that this framework has allowed developers to create native apps for multiple platforms with a single codebase. However, the introduction of .NET MAUI has resulted in a new paradigm for cross-platform development. What I mean to say is that with the arrival of MAUI, developers now have a more unified and streamlined approach. Understandably, there has been a lot of switching to .NET MAUI lately. Several key factors drive the transition from Xamarin to .NET MAUI. For starters, the latter improves the development experience.
