MAUI and Uno Platform

[trungnt2910]

As far as I know, Uno Platform provides support for WinUI 3 on WASM and on Linux GTK and Windows 7 (not covered by Xamarin) through Skia. The desktop and web targets performs decently and renders (nearly) perfect UI, through my development experience.

On the other hand, .NET MAUI seems to bring good support for mobile platforms, but does not support web browsers, earlier versions of Windows, and Linux.

Can the WinUI 3 support for .NET MAUI be ported to the Uno Platform, similar to what Uno did with Xamarin and UWP, and bring MAUI development to desktop and web platforms too?

I understand that at the time this is written, MAUI is still in preview, but I'm just asking whether it's possible.

While in theory we could do the same thing that we did with X.F Renderers for WebAssembly and use Uno to do MAUI => WinUI => WebAssembly and LInux, the feedback from our community showed that they'd rather have the fully featured WinUI API available to build apps versus the XF/MAUI abstraction.

Is there something that MAUI offers in terms of API or productivity that you feel is missing in WinUI/Uno?

Thanks, can you provide an ADB logcat ?

Thanks, can you provide an ADB logcat ?

Currently, I'm trying to get a logcat with:

adb logcat <my package name>:I *:S

to filter out unnecessary and potentially sensitive information, but the app seems to output nothing.

If the app is running with AOT you'll get messages containing assembly names, when the runtime tries to find the files. Also, which version of Uno are you running?

[trungnt2910]

I'm using Uno.UI 4.0.13 (currently the latest release version of Uno).
But it's also slow with previous versions.

Can you try with the latest 4.2 bits, we made significant changes.
