.NET Multi-platform App UI (.NET MAUI) is a cross-platform framework for creating mobile and desktop apps with C# and XAML. Using .NET MAUI, you can develop apps that can run on Android, iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and Windows from a single shared codebase.
Create a new app with dotnet new maui -n NewApp or a sample app with dotnet new maui -n NewApp -sc that includes the open-source Syncfusion Toolkit for .NET MAUI with over 30 additional controls, the .NET MAUI Community Toolkit with tons of helpers and views, and MVVM Toolkit.
Note: If the maui template is not available, first install the .NET MAUI workload with dotnet workload install maui.

With .NET MAUI, you can build apps that perform great on any device that runs Windows, macOS, Android, & iOS from a single codebase. Coupled with Visual Studio productivity tools and emulators, .NET and Visual Studio significantly speed up the development process for building apps that target the widest possible set of devices.
