Hey! Lovely to see more MAUI videos out there. The easier it is for newer people to get into maui, the better. That being said, would you ever consider starting a series with "Advanced maui features"? That are for more intermediate Maui devs.

Wonderful Video. Can you please create a video on how to consume a Whatsapp API on .NET MAUI using already present Nuget Packages for Whatsapp APIs. Thanks

Nice!

But I had a problem with it. On my app (.NET 7), I couldn't use the decorator on mauiprogram, it just wouldn't appear to me no matter what, so I had to uninstall the package and do it the old way (using a static class with the routes).

I honestly have no idea why it happened

It would be great if you could make a video on how to use NFC with '.net MAUI', plug ins, read & write tags, host card emulation etc. Unfortunately there isn't really much information about it. Thanks a lot..

When i click to navigate from button the shell content didn't show not if i click from shell menu even i specify the same page

[tonyscarpelli]

After installing and running it the Routes.g.cs was empty. Know why?

[mohameddz]

i have problem gerald, How to change the background color of the dropdown menu <picker/> ? i mean dialog

Why not just create your own static class with constants? The plugin does not solve the problem of nested routes.

Ok cool but those AutoRoutes and ExtraRoute shouldn't be invented had the developer of the package simply scan the assembly for anything of type ContentPage.
