in this video I go through all the pains I have gone through as an early adopter of .NET MAUI. Unfortunately after two years of development I can no longer recommend .NET MAUI.

I have a doubt in .NET MAUI. I am creating a point-of-sale (POS) application in .NET MAUI for a Windows platform. I am using an entry field and a search bar in my application, and it needs to be in full-screen mode. I have converted the program into an executable (exe) file and ran it on a POS machine (Essae Machine). However, when I touch the entry field, the soft keyboard does not pop up. Interestingly, the soft keyboard works in Google Chrome and AnyDesk on the same POS machine. Can you help me understand why the soft keyboard is not popping up in my application?

I believe soft keyboards were not supported on Windows until .NET 8 I would recommend updating to dotnet 8 and trying, I believe that in the .net conf Maui session the talk about this new feature

How is the development with Avalonia going ? I am ready for mobile now and need to choose between .NET and Flutter. Would you reccommend Avalonia over Flutter for a .NET dev ? Thanks!

There isn't a lot of docs (hopefully I will have time to make videos on it to help the community), but other than that is going very well.

You should actually try flutter flow, it takes you 2 months probably to be really sufficient, and two weeks to wrap your head around, I think it can also be used for enterprise apps 🎉 yeah, bummer that it didn’t work out, interesting that Microsoft aren’t able to keep up with all the other frameworks, now they have rebranded Xamarin to Maui, what where most lacking in your opinion?

Thanks, since we had already the c# code we wanted to stay somewhat in the same lane, but we definitely want to try out flutter for new projects. It was just lacking support for many things, even their own applications such as intune had trouble distributing MAUI apps, so we just had to change frameworks because it was making us look bad.

Nice vid, interestingly I’ve viewed MAUI as more for the mobile side of things, just because it can build windows or Mac apps it seems counter-intuitive when most people building a windows app generally would have windows devs and vice versa for Mac - more for legacy sense I assume, but if I today wanted to build say a Mac app I would likely be looking at Swift, it’s like MAUI is a great way to bootstrap that per se, but once you have to truly integrate with the OS and have versioning associated to Apple release cycles and not MAUIs wouldn’t you by then (a) have enough justifiable interest in your product to make a dedicated app for that OS as well as (I assume) by then know what platforms your users are actively using to know where to invest that time? Also iirc Apple can natively run iOS apps so maybe their view is that you could just release for that for that Apple people out there?

I understand that how you see it is how most people see it, an evolution of xamarin for Mobile with the added advantage of being able to do some desktop development. But Microsoft is pushing it as the ultimate platform for all devices, which is far from it.

Maui is definitely not production ready for real world applications that may get more complex than the samples from Microsoft. I’ve been using it since it’s GA Release back 2022 and I’ve been reporting since that day multiple issues. I still got hope but it’s hard to believe this should be used in real world projects at this stage of the framework. I hope it won’t be your last video about Maui
