What it is

.NET MAUI is a cross-platform UI framework enabling developers to build native Android, iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and Windows applications from a single C# and XAML codebase. It evolved from Xamarin.Forms and provides platform-specific handlers, layout controls, and a unified development experience across mobile and desktop targets using .NET runtime. Platform-specific handler architecture: core framework in src/BlazorWebView/src/Maui/ with platform handlers split into Android/ (WebKit-based), iOS (AppleBindings), Windows/ (WinUI), Tizen/, and Standard/ (fallback). Each platform has a BlazorWebViewHandler.* implementation that bridges managed C# to native APIs. PublicAPI/ subdirectories track…

Start here

Open these first:

• src/BlazorWebView/src/Maui/BlazorWebView.cs — Core Blazor WebView control definition for MAUI that bridges Blazor components into native mobile and desktop apps.
• src/BlazorWebView/src/Maui/BlazorWebViewHandler.cs — Platform-agnostic handler that manages WebView lifecycle and coordinates with platform-specific implementations.
• src/BlazorWebView/src/Maui/Android/BlazorWebViewHandler.Android.cs — Android-specific WebView handler implementation that integrates with WebKit and provides platform-native rendering.
• src/BlazorWebView/src/Maui/iOS/BlazorWebViewHandler.iOS.cs — iOS-specific WebView handler using WKWebView for native rendering on Apple platforms.
• src/BlazorWebView/src/Maui/Windows/BlazorWebViewHandler.Windows.cs — Windows-specific handler that manages WebView2 integration for desktop and UWP targets.

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

Clone: git clone https://github.com/dotnet/maui.git. Install .NET workload: dotnet workload install maui. Create sample: dotnet new maui -n MyApp or with samples: dotnet new maui -n MyApp -sc. Verify by opening…

Daily commands:

Repository is a framework library, not a runnable application. To test: open the .csproj files with Visual Studio 2022 or dotnet build src/BlazorWebView/src/Maui/Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.WebView.Maui.csproj. Cr…

Key cautions & unknowns

• Scorecard: dangerous CI workflow (0/10)
• Multi-targeting complexity: each platform (Android, iOS, Windows, Tizen) requires its native SDK installed (Android SDK, Xcode, Windows SDK, etc.). PublicAPI.txt files must be manually updated when changing public…
• Published-advisory coverage was unavailable for the captured dependencies.
• Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
