Upgrading from Xamarin to .NET MAUI

on YouTube ↗17m

" summary

Migration path shows concrete steps: start with Android/iOS head projects, then migrate the Xamarin.Forms project, using the in-place or side-by-side strategy; the Upgrade Assistant extension (or its CLI on GitHub) converts packages, updates namespaces and XAML, and creates a new project like PlantLady MAUI. Tool handles most transformations but not all; expect manual fixes and iterative builds. Claims include ~35% faster startup vs Xamarin and guidance to target .NET 7 before Xamarin EOL (May 2024).
