Hi @James, Thank you for a nice video.Can you please make a video on where to use a VAR and Where to use a Datatype? Most of the guys won't have knowledge of this.

I have been working with .NET MAUI Visual Studio Version 17.1.0 these last 3 days targeting only WinUI 3.
I have had several issues for which thankfully I found information in the internet.
1) [Bug] FilePicker throws COMException on Windows. (this one is at least 6 month old)
I had to use the “COM interface technique” as a work around.
2) Bug 5499 : “The XAML CommandBar AppBarButton Trimmed Label”. The label text content is trimmed. (opened since 17 Mar 2021, 3 of 24 tasks done)

3) Bug 6642: Label control makes the application crash when you use multi-binding or “several item” and resize the windows.

The question is : Are you going to make it for Q2 with a stable MAUI release?
Thank you

Hi James, please do a video of Maui and BLE Bluetooth. Thank you very much. 🙏🙏🙏

[lessthan]

I hope you create maui controls gallery... so we can know if controls are ready

.net maui team is working hard i can't wait release date

Another great video, James! Curious about the story with the Pachinko machine in the background. Can't wait for MAUI to get out of preview so our org can migrate our Xamarin Forms app to MAUI

Hi James! I NEVER miss any of your very informative videos - I don't know where you get the time or energy!!! One request - I cannot find any decent (or any, for that matter) examples of how to enable logging in .NET MAUI. When I try to employ generic .NET 6 logger configuration, there are no equivalents in the MauiApp or MauiAppBuilder family of APIs... Can you do a YouTube video on that? I'd be grateful!! :-)

[tanakamawere]

Hey James, great video but I am crying out for a tutorial on Authentication in Xamarin.Forms and insights into how you would personally do it

[mallen]

Nice video. Quick question, how do you call for a transient not passed via a constructor? Do you pass IHost in a constructor and then get the transient from that?

I have two Xamarin Forms apps and a very large desktop (WPF) app written with Dot Net 4.7.1 that I've been planning on updating to Dot Net 6. Would you update them now, or wait for Maui to release?

I have done some few tests with MAUI preview 12 in Visual Studio Preview and it looked great.
I am now using .NET MAUI BlazorWebview in Visual Studio so I am waiting for you to put this great stuff in production, 😉.
Do you know when the BlazorWebView will be available in WinUI 3 ?
It is available in .NET MAUI (WinForms and WPF too I think) but I can't find it in any version of WinUI3.
As xamI is xaml, I plan to create a specific polished WinUI 3 version of my app and use .NET MAUI for targetting the other platforms.
Thank you.

Hi James, I tried to install MAUI with previoewu but face too much issues as the runtime were always busy for IO on given images. Also the images were not working properly when tired to put .svg insted png. That is the reason I uninstalled it and back to work in Xamarin as you had shared in 101 videos as that was bit stable. I am waiting for stable version of MAUI to explore it later as I could figure out there are very little thing changes required to migrate in both XAML and .cs. I am facing issue with shell navigration too in xamarin. Can you help me on it ?

[MarcJennings]

Hi. Do you know of any replacements to ZXing.Net.Mobile that are MAUI-compatible please? We are porting a production app and this would be a showstopper for us if it isn't possible.

[sinsedrix]

Still great!
What about `builder.Host.ConfigureAppConfiguration`, how should we specify an appsettings.json file without host?

[geekincoder]

Great video James! My main concern regarding Maui is, can you still use Android Jar files as you can in Xamarin? We use 3rd party jars for accessing device specific barcode scanners. So obviously I’m feeling very twitchy right now as this could be a game stopper!

[sairamreddy]

Can you have a mac os maui installation video or can we use the vs mac 2022 for debugging the maui solution or vs code if so can you do a video

[thakanoduncu]

Hello James. Thanks for this nice video. It seems .NET MAUI will provide more benefits than current frameworks for cross-platform developers. By the way, the hexagonal lights on your wall look super cool. Could I learn where did you buy it from? :)

[bswill]

Meh still need to see a full pledge maui app before i dive into this. Microsoft need to use their framework to build their own stuff instead of relying on react or electron or node
