" summary

.NET MAUI net8 claims production readiness with over 600 bug fixes and makes migration mostly a UI exercise while preserving business logic, using the Upgrade Assistant to auto-convert project files and generate an HTML/CSV report that estimated 84 mandatory updates for a sample app and gets projects about 60–70% of the way there, encourages replacing custom renderers with handlers, supports single‑project layouts, and offers incremental paths like islands of Blazor Hybrid or WinUI/WPF/WinForms upgrades.
