dotnet-maui-development

.NET MAUI cross-platform development: single-project structure with platform folders, XAML data binding with MVVM (CommunityToolkit.Mvvm), Shell navigation, platform services via partial classes and conditional compilation, dependency injection, Hot Reload per platform, and .NET 11 improvements (XAML source gen, CoreCLR for Android, dotnet run device selection). Includes honest current-state assessment and migration options.

Version assumptions: .NET 8.0+ baseline (MAUI ships with .NET 8+). .NET 11 Preview 1 content explicitly marked. Examples use the latest stable APIs.
