@davidortinau, how likely is this to make into MAUI .NET 8? I see it's P1, does that mean absolutely-won't-ship-without-it? I'm trying to evaluate options here for cross-platform development.

Edit: https://github.com/dotnet/maui/blob/main/docs/ReleasePlanning.md So... likely?

Edit: #14488, #15191

With EoL on Xamarin approaching at breakneck speeds we still have no viable option for testing applications in MAUI, or even hope on the horizon. Would love to know the answer to this. @davidortinau

Is there any word on this? Xamarin.UITest is very reliable. It's sad to see something that works pretty well die like this. I assume I'll have to write all of my tests from scratch in appium?

AppCenter will retire next year. Were you able to work on appium? We are also using Xamarin.UITest and planning to look for an alternative.

We use Xamarin UI test, and the tests do run on our MAUI android app locally after we upgraded from Xamarin. However, REPL is broken which makes further development a lot harder. With app center now slated for retirement next year, it looks like we need a new framework - is Appium the MS recommended / supported way now? e.g.

Just found this, where microsoft recommend browserstack as the supported ui testing platform. Browserstack does not support Xamarin UI test, but it does support Appium for C# https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/appcenter/retirement
