Trusting Microsoft and .NET MAUI Toolkit NuGet Packages

.NET MAUI on .NET 8 Preview 6 – Android build issue

.NET 8 is the next LTS release and is currently in preview. .NET, .NET MAUI, and Visual Studio 2022 release a public preview every month for quite some time.

On Tue, Jul 11, another preview version of .NET 8 got released along with VS2022 17.7.0 Preview 3.0.

After installing the latest preview bits, the Android projects failed to build. Upon investigation, found that the Android SDK location got reset to the “Program Files” folder. Since I’ve been working with .NET MAUI from the early prerelease, the Android SDK was originally installed in the Android\Sdk sub-folder in the user’s local application data folder (then recommended path to install).

.NET MAUI – Blazor Hybrid – WinUI 3

.NET MAUI and Blazor – Best of both modern technologies for Mobile, Desktop, and Web solutions from a single codebase.

But app development is of two categories: Existing ones and Greenfield development. New features can be part of the latter quite easily as they’re done from scratch but definitely not that easy on the former as existing investments need to be protected. Changes can be quite expensive as they need to be thoroughly validated before rolling out to production use.
