just question. there is xamarin.android but no xamarin.ios why?

rolfbjarne commented 4 months ago

I'm not sure I understand your question, but Xamarin.iOS (and Xamarin.Android) has been discontinued: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/xamarin/xamarin-ios-16-android-13-updates/

yes xamarin.android is. but .net android? I still can create .net android and .net ios project.

ljzj2 commented 4 months ago

actually I want use .net android and .net ios is that the startup time is smaller. than MAUI. right? in MAUI you need to use CreateMauiApp is that the reason? and I find that I can use some control in .net android.

Yes, the startup time with .NET iOS is typically faster than using MAUI. This is because MAUI contains a lot of extra code to be able to use most of the same code across multiple platforms. If you create the UI yourself in code, you'll have to write completely different implementations between iOS and Android.

thank you for your answer. but why not MAUI do it during complilation time? If I compile to android then create the UI to android? so can do not do it when I start the APP?

another question is that the .net iOS(not xamarin ios) still in support?

If you have questions about MAUI, you should ask the MAUI team (https://github.com/dotnet/maui/issues).

Yes, .NET iOS is still very much supported.
