.Net Maui Support #783

Closed HobDev closed 1 year ago

HobDev commented 2 years ago

Does .NET Maui support is on the roadmap. When the package is expected to be ready for .NET Maui

jari-kuipers commented 2 years ago

No, MAUI support is not on the roadmap. The only way this package will be moved to MAUI is if someone else forks this.

jari-kuipers commented 2 years ago

This question was already asked by yours truly with my other account in #772

HobDev commented 2 years ago

@amay077 Can you guide the community for the migration to .NET MAUI. You have requisite knowledge about the Maps. Can you answer few questions. What needs to be learn. where to find the resources. What can be taken from this package and what new needs to be added. What are the main obstacles in the migration. Many developers including me would like to migrate the package but don't have the knowledge. Your help is critical in this endeavor.

Hey guys. Made a Maui version, check out on your spare time (maui branch): https://github.com/themronion/Maui.GoogleMaps/tree/maui

AlonRom commented 2 years ago

@themronion this is great! are you planning to continue to support the MAUI version and address issues in the future?

themronion commented 2 years ago

@AlonRom yeah why not, prs are welcome anyway 😉

Hello everyone. I'm reborn. :innocent:

(I was writing typescript for several years. So I lost interest in Xamarin and C#. But recently I re-started writing C#, which has given me some motivation.)

This project is not died. I'm deployed v5.0.0 to nuget that supports Xamarin.Forms 5.0. And I'm starting understand for MAUI, I will supports it if I can(maybe create new project)。.

jari-kuipers commented 1 year ago

Interesting news @amay077 . I think it would be wise to announce your return a little greater than in a comment on an issue that's 2 months old. We've been having a lot of discussions in this project about continuing Xamarin support and all of those discussion's issues need to be closed.

Also, why would you begin working on MAUI? It's been having such a ridiculously rough start.

amay077 commented 1 year ago

I will support Xamarin.Forms 5 and over . I'm not sure develop MAUI version soon because I don't understand MAUI's custom control mechanism.

Respect for @themronion and his developed MAUI version. His package will be good choice for you.

I interest for (stable released) MAUI and .NET 6. I will developing for MAUI apps/libs at one’s own pace.

It's good to have you back @amay077 !

Regarding MAUI's custom control mechanism, it's not difficult to work with compared to Xamarin.Forms Renderers, it's just a little different. And the solution/project layout are of course changed completely.

@jari-kuipers I think it's good to start work on MAUI already since its been in preview for such a long time already, and I don't see the scheme for custom controls changing from its current state. Also, when Microsoft will decommission Xamarin.Forms, I would like to know there is a good alternative.

Looking forward to your future releases

@amay077 just so you know, you can still use renderers and migrate to MAUI with very little efforts. I migrated Sharpnado.CollectionView and changed nearly nothing except for the namespaces and the .net6 target :)

themronion commented 1 year ago

@roubachof but does it make any sense since my fork with handlers exists?)

roubachof commented 1 year ago

lol didn't see you forked it... Just saw you have some commits behind though ;)

themronion commented 1 year ago

Yeah, it was before @amay077 resurrected))

roubachof commented 1 year ago

well now I know it's in good hands :)
