The topic for this June month’s .NET MAUI community standup is VS Code Updates.
Of late, VS Code has incorporated many new features, such as XAML IntelliSense and Hot Reload, as the end of support for VS for Mac is quickly approaching (Aug 31, 2024).
Update: The community links for this month’s standup are here.
David highlighted using MAUI Nightly Builds in the standup. Projects in the All-in-One templates pack already support utilizing the Nightly builds from version 4.6 onwards. However, setting up the package source from the CI feed involves a few manual steps as detailed in the earlier article.
But, automation is the need of the hour. The upcoming release of templates pack v5.6, scheduled for this week, will streamline the process by eliminating manual steps, ensuring seamless functionality when selecting the Nightly builds option upon project creation. Cool 😊.
Update: v5.6 has just been released. Consult this article for further details.

VS Code - .NET MAUI - Select Startup Project and Debug Target
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.
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.
.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).
