Installing .NET MAUI on macOS

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

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

  

Visual Studio 2022 takes on a lot of the pain for setting up your cross-platform development environment. In this post I'll cover how you can still get your environment setup for .NET MAUI development when Visual Studio 2022 isn't available (such as on the Mac right now).

• Visual Studio Code

  2,840 158,095 10.0 TypeScript

  Visual Studio Code

  

VS Code (optional) - you'll want something to edit your code Omnisharp extension for C# intellisense

Now you are up and running with .NET MAUI for building Android, iOS, and macOS apps on macOS. This doesn't provide you with modern productivity features like C# and XAML hot reload. Those come standard with Visual Studio 2022 (and the upcoming Mac version), or you can navigate your way through configuring any number of other hot reload options available such as LiveSharp or Reloadify3000. Personally, I'll be using Comet which rides atop .NET MAUI and is built around hot reload.
