Just installed VS 2022 on Windows and it no longer offers the Mobile development with .NET workload. It's possible that we just need to switch to the new MAUI workload (.NET Multi-platform App UI development), but maybe we don't need either anymore?

If the MAUI workload is needed, here's a screenshot.

I appear to be up and running fine with the following workloads:

• ASP.NET and web development
• .NET Multi-platform App UI development
• .NET desktop development
• Visual Studio extension development

the .NET MAUI workload is pretty heavy compared to what is actually needed on an individual component level. For comparison, here are the contents of the different workloads (in VS Community edition): .NET MAUI in VS 2022 Mobile development with .NET in VS 2019

I didn't want all of those things, so I was able to pick from the Individual Components list to get just a subset. I still don't know if even all of these are needed, but I was able to deploy HelloMeadow. I suspect not even all of those are really needed:

Workloads:

• .NET desktop development

Individual Components:

• OpenJDK (Microsoft Distribution)
• MSBuild
• C# and Visual Basic Roslyn compilers
