.NET MAUI: .NET Multi-Platform App UI

• Introducing .NET Multi-platform App UI (MAUI)

  273 21,536 9.9 C#

  .NET MAUI is the .NET Multi-platform App UI, a framework for building native device applications spanning mobile, tablet, and desktop.

  

Will .NET MAUI allow deployment of one code base across iPhone, Android, Windows Desktop, macOS Desktop and Linux?

Yes, checkout this chart in the README to see the supported platforms.

• Avalonia

  254 23,672 9.9 C#

  Develop Desktop, Embedded, Mobile and WebAssembly apps with C# and XAML. The most popular .NET Foundation community project.

  

Lately I've been using AvaloniaUI ( https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia ) for all new projects. For most intents and purposes it is much easier to make single UI codebase work across platforms when behavior and look of components does not depend on quirks of native controls.

  Xamarin.Forms GTK Backend Progress

How likely will it be that F# is supported out of the box?

I understand that this is a push for mobile but hopefully a linux support will be considered.

• ASP.NET Core

  1,632 34,312 9.9 C#

  ASP.NET Core is a cross-platform .NET framework for building modern cloud-based web applications on Windows, Mac, or Linux.

  

FWIW, I'm in the same bucket and I'm leaning toward Blazor. There's a big push in .NET 6 to deliver "Blazor Desktop", which is essentially more native wrappers around Blazor Server: https://github.com/dotnet/aspnetcore/issues/27217

Might not fit your needs (it is bringing web technology to native apps, much like Electron) but I think it has more of a future than XAML/MAUI. And the underlying technologies (Razor, Blazor Server) have been around for a while so you can get started now even if all the pieces aren't quite there.

> Plus you can't share UI code between Android and iOS. You still need to build the UI's natively with no code reuse.

Utterly false - Xamarin Forms is totally cross-platform UI; you're probably mistaking it for Xamarin Native, which is used as a target renderer for each platform. Look at this sample project: https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-forms-samples/tree/master...

The .iOS and .Android project folders target each platform respectively, with a single project shared between them that defines UI that is rendered onto each platform. You claim to have experience with using it, but obviously haven't done anything even as simple as a HelloWorld.
