xamarin-macios VS WPF

Xamarin.ios y Xamarin.Mac: Licencia MIT.

Try to build the project for Android and iOS respectively. If you suffered from the iOS build issue Error MT4109: Failed to compile the generated registrar code caused by Xcode 14, you can visit https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/issues/15954 to find the solution. The issue can be fixed by installing xamarin.ios-16.0.0.72.pkg. To run the app on iOS 16, turn on Settings > Privacy & Security > Developer Mode.

See this for more info.

There is nothing planned. Downgrade immediately https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/issues/15954

MAUI on iOS and MacCatalyst use: https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios

You can see in old issues like this how uncertain even the core team was about it. It's not really tenable to fly that blind.

I think they're still doing tooling updates for Xamarin for a while. For one, there are platforms that for now aren't (yet) moving to .NET 6 at all, such as watchOS. And second, they seem to have changed their Apple platforms tooling to basically dual-target Mono (for Xamarin) and .NET 6 (for MAUI).

Microsoft decided not to support the Apple Watch in .NET 6 (https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/issues/8955), which made me uncertain as to its future on the Apple Watch - I was also interested in learning Swift and SwiftUI.

Gear up, folks, and test drive this fresh-off-the-lab feature. And should you stumble upon any glitches along the way, don’t hesitate to reach out. Got a bug to report or feedback to give? Send them directly to our dotnet/wpf repository. We’re eager to hear from you, because together, we’re only going to make the experience even better!

I did some research and did not find any proof of the EOL on WPF. In fact, Microsoft just updated the roadmap on WPF 2 months ago.

There’s still room for improvement though. I should add, WPF on .NET Core consumes a lot of memory, due to a memory leak. It was logged by our COO as one of our users was doing a comparison.

have you tried this?

WPF: Licencia MIT.

Some added context: It's a side effect of how variable rendering works in UI library we use. There's currently sadly no way how to disable VRR compatibility, which causes the issue you describe unless you tell your GPU to not treat Playnite as VRR compatible. Some more info here.

WPF is definitely not dead. It may not be the latest shiny thing, but it works, it is maintained (judging by https://github.com/dotnet/wpf or https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/wpf-on-dotnet-7/), and it is fully and officially supported on the modern .NET platform.

This article only sights a video stream. I think part of the problem with the glacial pace of development is reliance on manual testing. See this comment:

> Our primary goal is to ensure reduced turn-around-times for new PRs as well as clear the pending backlog of existing PRs. To that end, we are working on putting appropriate automation in place to reduce the dependency on manual testing as much as we can.

If you look at the history of this file you can over the years tests have been always been in the backlog.

As for “where projects go to die”, they have 3 features planned for this year: Windows 11 Theming, a new type of folder browser, and null ability annotations. And they say they don’t think they can do them all. Maybe I’m underestimating, but that’s not a lot.
