The short answer is maybe and the long answer is no. I started my next project totally Xamarin but when the news hit that although they were not sunsetting it until the end of 2023, the last big update to Xamarin.iOS was the last.

So it quickly turned into a .NET MAUI project and the conversion process is not a “day long” event like Microsoft put in their blog. It was more like a month and spending 1700 bucks on new MAUI controls. So, no Microsoft it’s not a day to convert.

Speaking of controls Telerik needs to lower their price because what you’re getting is in beta at best.

App Center support is alpha at best and not all features implemented. And don’t even think of targeting .NET 7 either as they only started working on supporting 6.

So my summary is they pushed .NET MAUI as fast as they could leaving all the support entities behind. I mean really it’s like the control and other providers are playing catch-up and .NET MAUI just plows on leaving what makes an app complete in the dust.

After thought for me is AppCenter is a big mess and barely supporting. NET 6. They are never going to catch up with .NET MAUI. Crashes is weird and Analytics is throwing an exception whenever called. I’ve submitted bug reports on them, hopefully they’ll get fixed.
