I am facing an issue in .NET MAUI with latest Visual Studio 2022 on windows 11. That is my emulator SDK Android manager is running properly even the qemu x86 running properly and showing on taskbar, but the emulator is not showing on screen physically virtual representation. Is there any solution

Is it possible to deploy to Androids Wear OS?

[@UtpalBharali-d4s]

Hi James. Please tell us about READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE above android 13 in MAUI 8. As I am getting Denied and no popup to request the permission for read & write external storage

Is it possible debug/deploy an MAUI app for running on a Win VM within ParallelDesktop/VM-Ware?

[@pushanroychowdhury5741]

Thank you James for this !! I have a dumb question: How do we update the MAUI workloads to a specific service release? Say I had installed maui workload 8.0.7 in April. Last month 8.0.7 SR7 was released and I want to upgrade my workloads to that version?

[@JamesMontemagno]

If you update your .net workload it updates automatically with $(MauiVersion) else just update the nugets

Is there a major advantage to using a paid version of Visual Studio vs VS Code nowadays? I have VS Enterprise and I do like the credits for Azure testing, etc. but the price tag is really large. Can I just do all my .net maui, C#, MVC, wep API, and react programming in VS Code just fine? As always, great videos - love watching your content!

[@oeleboele1971]

I am not using vs code for "regular" development but don't you need the vs pro or enterprise license in order to work with the new c# extension (devkit i believe) in vs code?

[@ericritter46]

I'm like 99% certain you can use visual studio community absolutely free. I have for the last several years.

[@JamesMontemagno]

VS and VS Code are very different. Full IDE vs Code Editor. VS Code is going to be best for modern .NET (8+) and does support web, mobile, etc. but you aren’t going to get all the full wiz bang features of VS. the same license works for VS and VS Code with the C# Dev Kit. Community and Pro for VS have same features just different license. Enterprise has some features you can read about on the VS site and other benefits. So it depends what all you are using. I use both VS and VSC

[@btigenie]

@@JamesMontemagno I'm definitely not using all the features of VS. I literally right my c# or react, I look at data in my SQL databases, and debug...oh and connect to GitHub for source control. I run emulators for any mobile stuff and use the ability to test my end points and apis - I forget the feature that allows that for local testing. If all that can be done in vs code, I might just save the money. Or, is there truly something I am not benefitting from that I don't know about in VS? Anyway, thank you James!

Is it possible to connect my iPhone to a Windows machine and use my MAUI app. on my iPhone?

[@JamesMontemagno]

If using Visual Studio 2022. I have a video

[@webstaregyptsoftware5090]

@@JamesMontemagno Thanks for replying. Could you please provide a link to the video? 😊

[@jlfazmo]

did they fix the issue where you have to keep accepting the licenses?

[@JamesMontemagno]

never ran into that so i assume yes

[@pshoey]

Can you post a video walkthrough for using VSCode to deploy to iPhone - including the certs/ profiles etc. the docs are ok but a JM walkthrough would be fantastic!!

[@JamesMontemagno]

it's on my list next :)

[@sps014]

Will we ever get Linux support, It's so sad to see no roadmap for it.

[@Autystyczny]

there was some info at some Microsoft conference that there is a team working on a linux support so we'll get that

[@JamesMontemagno]

Not currently on the roadmap but some community experiments out there. If you need to build Linux apps today checkout Uno and Avalonia

Hello James, thank you for your videos. You would be able to tell which trick to run an App on Android 5.1 emulator (API 22). The scenario is: I installed Pixel 5 API 22 from Android Device Manager, created a new Maui .net8.0 App, and tried to run it. Without success. With Pixel 5 API 30 works

Check this thread github.com/dotnet/android/issues/9088 and stackoverflow.com/questions/78656698/net-maui-emulator-is-not-ready-to-be-used

[@ipojucacruz9348]

@@JamesMontemagno Thanks for the reply, but I tried to apply the settings suggested in the posts but still without success. Visual Studio can start the emulator but does not get a response that the emulator is active and ready to receive the load so it stops without deploying.
