Xamarin
Support for Xamarin ended May 1, 2024
Build cross-platform mobile and desktop apps with .NET MAUI today.
What does end of support mean?
Per the Xamarin support policy, Microsoft no longer supports or updates the product. If you are using features housed within the Visual Studio IDE, you will be directed on how to navigate changes to your project.
We recommend you use .NET Multi-platform App UI (.NET MAUI), the next evolution of Xamarin.Forms. We have provided resources and guidance to help you adopt this latest functionality.
Why .NET MAUI?
Multi-platform
.NET MAUI uses the latest technology for building native apps on Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android, abstracting them into one common framework built on .NET.
One codebase
Use a single C# codebase and project systems for all device targets to build apps that look and feel like their native platforms.
Productivity
Build beautiful apps faster and easier by integrating the power of Visual Studio with.NET MAUI.
