Thanks for going through the emulator setup. I was not getting hot reload behavior and it was really frustrating to tweak my UI, but once I figured out I was running HAXM instead of Hyper-V I switched and now hot reload works again!

[@jfversluis]

That is great! Thanks for letting us know!

[@harag9]

Great episode, the only issue I had was Hyper-V -- I had no option in my install list to enable that, took me ages to find out that it was only Windows PRO+ and NOT windows HOME - they never mentioned that on the document you showed: @11:23 - and for the Hyperversion Platform, I had to go into my BIOS settings to turn that on....

[@jfversluis]

There is a thousand nuances to setting this up. It’s near impossible to write it all up or show it all. But glad you figured it out!

[@harag9]

@@jfversluis Ya. My Emulator was running really slow and I downloaded something called GenyMotion emulator, but that's a paid for app. Even though I enabled the CPU for Virtualisation on the BIOS and turned on the 2nd option in the settings (No Hyper-V) the emulator is now up and running ok. The only problem I have now is that VS never launches the emulator (just freezes) so I have to launch it manually every time I start and not close the emulator. Not sure why it's doing that though... :(

Hi, do you have issues with Visual Studio not seeing the Android-simulated devices? When I start Visual Studio 2022 and open the Android solution/project, it does not recognize already created Android devices. In order to run the application, I have to create a new device and then the previously created device that is running is displayed in visual studio. Do You have any tips/tricks on how to fix this? This issue can be problematic on devices where You do not have administrator rights (workstations) so You can't run anything.

[@tmagnussen]

I really like the light-weight nature of Visual Studio Code. At work I’m a many years user of regular Visual Studio. Would it be a mistake to learn MAUI development in VSCode?

[@jfversluis]

Definitely not a mistake if you ask me. All the code and everything about .NET MAUI will be the exact same so learning that will not go to waste. The only thing that will be different if you ever switch is how you use the tooling but you’ll pick that up easy enough I’m sure

[@DiederickvanZyl-u3o]

I've just started today the course but using a Macbook, the pain is the VS for Mac supporting MAUI is still on preview and works bad as hell, I had to reinstall it a couple times because some tools like the Android Device Manager didn't show up (the menu option was disabled), also the VS crashes a lot of times when opening the Android emulators. The Course seems to be good.

[@jfversluis]

Thanks Jorge! Sorry your experience wasn't great. I think this week VS Mac was released in stable with .NET MAUI support. Hopefully it will work better for you now!

[@Aliensfcul]

Hi Gerald. Thanks for the series. QUESTION. What is the .NET Maui Class Library? What is the difference between it and a normal .NET 6 (or standard) Class Library project? ALSO... It would be amazing to have that Blazor series. I am wondering if I can use the same blazor project for both web and MAUI application. Thanks

[@jfversluis]

The .NET MAUI Class Library has all the extra bits that allow you to write code for Android, Windows, iOS and macOS specifically. If you don't need platform-specific code you don't need it. I'm planning on doing something with .NET MAUI Blazor, but you won't get a target that runs on the web with that. Personally I feel more for the approach where you have Razor Components that you will reuse between web and mobile.

[@Aliensfcul]

@@jfversluis it makes sense. Thanks

[@bsafer]

@@jfversluis Thanks for this video series. To tack on to this question, if I have apps using Maui, but I also want a web interface to share the same libraries and code as those apps, would I create a sample Maui Blazor project then? And just use Blazor to drive the web side and the XAML/Code behind to drive the app side? This is what I've been waiting for Maui for, so hopefully thats how it will work. Thanks!.

[@tateantrim2203]

Do you or anyone know of a tutorial that explains in graphic detail how to navigate getting keys and such from Apple in the exactly correct sequence installed into the Mac version of Visual Studio and the Windows version of Visual Studio so that everything just works? I have a paid Apple dev account but for the life of me I am unable to figure out the correct process to make all this work and so far I've experienced nothing but failure at trying to set all this up between the Apple website(s) and Microsoft's website(s) and I'm lacking coherence here. I have a Mac Mini and a Windows PC basically dedicated to trying to get a hobby app for amateur radio together on my old iPhone - that's all I want to do.

[@billnalen]

In your opinion, would you just use a Mac for MAUI development? I know I can deploy to my iPhone from VS on Windows without a Mac with iTunes, but to deploy to the store, etc. I'll need to use the Mac. The Mac side would work with Android too (I'm not interested in desktop development at this point). However, I know VS on Windows is much better than VS on Mac. Do you feel like the tradeoff is worth it? What are the other developer advocates doing?

[@jfversluis]

I have been using Visual Studio for Mac mostly up until this point. So when that is back, and VS for Mac 2022 is very promising!, I'm looking forward to using that again. If you're not interested in Windows development, a Mac would definitely be my choice.

[@billnalen]

@@jfversluis Thanks for the answers. As far as I can tell, VS for Mac is getting a native rewrite (maybe just the UI?). Do you know if MS is using MAUI for this? Do you know if MS is using MAUI for anything? I was thinking since VS for Mac is getting a UI overhaul anyways they would use MAUI. I think it helps developers like me invest in the technology if I can see MS using it too.

[@jfversluis]

@@billnalen Interesting question! The UI is getting rewritten from GTK to native macOS components and its running on .NET 6 now. One of the wild ideas we have is definitely to add .NET MAUI and share UI between VS for Windows and VS for Mac. For now it's nothing more than something we're dreaming off though :D

[@enricoroselino7557]

this straight up kernel panic error, replicated with intel 12 gen and AMD ryzen (4000 & 5000)... my workaround is install android studio and flutter, run the flutter doctor until all done then proceed to install VS. Isnt MAUI should have a "MAUI doctor" too ?

[@jfversluis]

Kernel panic sounds like Linux? Not sure what would cause that, first time I’ve heard of it. Also this video isn’t about Linux at all? That one can be found here: Develop .NET MAUI Apps on Linux with VS Code: Complete Guide kzbin.info/www/bejne/anWVp4iPiq6kfLc

The default program on windows runs only within the Visual studio environment. The exe file it creates does nothing.

[@jfversluis]

If you're referring to the Windows app that is correct. The only scenario we support right now is publishing to an MSIX: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fH_ap5KNaLmnibc. We are working on making the so-called, unpackaged scenario work as well: github.com/dotnet/maui/issues/3166

RE: Hyper V activation On Windows 11 there is no "Optional Feature" named Hyper-V. Instead, all that needs to be done is to go into the windows options called "Turn Windows features on or off", then scroll down a little and enable "Windows Hypervisor Platform". Once this is selected, a restart will be required... and you should be good to go.

[@jfversluis]

Thanks for sharing!

For me on win11 the steps were the same as in the article but maybe I don't get what you mean. Also the article says you should not have to enable Windows Hypervisor Platform anymore because it will use it automatically.

As long as it can run Xcode 13 it should be good! Of course older machines will make for longer build times

I run it on my 2015 15" MBP. It's the oldest laptop supported by the macOS Monterey. I tried to install it on my 2014 13" MBP yesterday, but that's not supported for Monterey and hence I can't use Xcode 13.
