Incredibly painful setup. Missing templates, missing SDKs, missing Java, JRE ughh 🤯 One would expect not having to check for dependencies or at least not have to fiddle with path variables in 2024.

Have you ever worked on cross platform apps before? The experience is always the same, regardless of the developer platform. It's a pain.

[@AslamNazeerShaikh]

Xamrin is even worst 😢 trust me.

[@bitcoinjc]

Wow so the c# dev kid works on all these platforms. So cool

[@GeoffSeeley]

Something new to play around with! Thanks.

Without hot reload maui is losing the time for get new developers... I use meteor but we need more microsoft support for a better hot reload.

Hi from South Africa 👍🏼

[@tomc409]

I installed VS Code 1.89.1, C# Dev Kit (1.5.20) and .NET MAUI (v0.10.61). Restarted VS Code. When using Explorer to 'Create .NET Project' I don't see any selection for .NET MAUI as in the video. Any known issues or does something else need to be configured or downloaded? Anyone else not seeing .NET MAUI when trying to create a new .NET Project?

[@RolfNoot]

For me, ‘sudo dotnet install workload maui’ worked on MacOS

[@tomc409]

@@RolfNoot thanks. That worked!

Very complicatedddddddd, VS Studio was superrrr superrrr user friendly - typically Xamarin developer upgrdaing to MAUI, this is tough!!!!!!!

[@mylarus]

Great video. If someone else is following along and can't see the curly braces like me you need to open a file first before they appear.

[@AnkitaSinghprimary]

what about .net ios and android sdk style one the xamarin native

[@TheDomLouis]

I'd also like to know if/when VSCode will support native iOS and Android apps!

[@hannabergqvist9645]

Hi! Great video! I just have a question: How do I use the hot reload on IOS devices such as Ipad or Iphone? It only works on my Mac simulator, otherwise nothing happens when I change the code.

[@timokeller4750]

Whats about push notifications in iOS, because Firebase bindings are very old.

[@JuiceRabbit]

Kool, blah blah, Kool Kool, blah blah blah... Just FIX HOT RELOAD!

[@dhollm]

Will the improved XAML Intellisense end up in full Visual Studio as well?

[@ramasamynagappan7586]

I like MVU not XAML

Why does every video from Microsoft have poor audio quality and feel like a chitchat or a talkshow with 30 fps and low bitrate? Can't you just make proper tutorials like many KZbinrs? I miss the old days when MS used to have great tutorials that cut to the chase with great production quality.
