dotnet-maui-aot

Native AOT compilation for .NET MAUI on iOS and Mac Catalyst: compilation pipeline, publish profiles, up to 50% app size reduction and up to 50% startup improvement, library compatibility gaps, opt-out mechanisms, trimming interplay (RD.xml, source generators), and testing AOT builds on device.

Version assumptions: .NET 8.0+ baseline. Native AOT for MAUI is available on iOS and Mac Catalyst. Android uses a different compilation model (CoreCLR in .NET 11, Mono/AOT in .NET 8-10).

Scope

• iOS/Mac Catalyst AOT compilation pipeline
• Publish profile configuration for MAUI AOT
• Size/startup improvement measurements
• Library compatibility gaps for MAUI AOT apps
