Aspire is now the talk of the town. You can build and orchestrate all the dependencies from one single place. In fact, it’s stack streamlined. Learn more about Aspire here.

This article discusses how to integrate .NET MAUI, Microsoft’s cross-platform UI framework, with Aspire.

Aspire supports .NET by default, but since .NET MAUI is designed for multi-targeting from a single project, it presents a minor issue. I’ll offer a workaround until it’s officially supported (coming soon).

For this, I’m using .NET 10 File-based Apps for simplicity. Aspire v9.5 supports this new feature. Consult this article to know more about C# File-apps.

.NET MAUI All-in-One Templates - Support for NuGet CPM and Nightly Builds

Firstly, .NET MAUI 9 Preview 5 has just been released. The changelog can be found here. Notably, a new Blazor Hybrid Web template has been introduced in this version.

In short, this new template abstracts the Razor components into a distinct Razor Class Library (RCL). Furthermore, it provides the ability to create Blazor Web projects within the same solution and refers to the shared RCL.

The concept of abstracting the Razor components is already facilitated by the Hybrid project templates within the All-in-One template pack.

Will review the modifications and cover them in a distinct article.

In August 2023, Microsoft made an official announcement regarding the retirement of Visual Studio for Mac, scheduled to take place by August 31, 2024 (in another 6 months), as stated in a blog post here.

In the same blog post, Visual Studio Code along with the C# Dev Kit is projected as a viable alternative for cross-platform .NET development. For further information on the C# Dev Kit, refer to this article.

And for .NET MAUI too, there’s an officially supported extension hosted on VS Marketplace. To know more about this, take a look at this article. C# Dev Kit is a dependency for this .NET MAUI extension.

In light of the recent announcements, the article has been updated to incorporate info on support for JetBrains Rider IDE at the conclusion.

.NET MAUI – Nightly Builds

At first, .NET 6 and .NET 7 versions of .NET MAUI were released only via SDK Workloads whereas from .NET 8 onwards (Preview 4 to be precise), it is now distributed as a base workload and suite of NuGet packages on top of it.

This NuGet-based release process allows trying different versions of .NET MAUI which are released on top of a base workload on the same machine without the complexities of moving between different workload versions.
