So it seems like it should be safe to install dotNet 6 on your normal work laptop. Reopening Visual Studio with my sample Xamarin 5 project, it now compiles and runs just fine.

You can also just do a build if you want to check your code changes, like this:ĭotnet build HelloMaui -t:build -f net6.0-ios -no-restore Checking On Forms 5 I’m assuming this will change once it’s starting from Visual Studio and not the terminal. You can edit the code in Visual Studio / VSCode, but it doesn’t seem to Hot Reload or Hot Restart. The next day I tried again and magically it was just working.

IOS and MacOS worked great, at first Android showed a blank white screen and then just crashed. Note that once dotnet bug 15485 is fixed you can drop the -no-restore.

Run one of these:ĭotnet build HelloMaui -t:run -f net6.0-android -no-restoreĭotnet build HelloMaui -t:run -f net6.0-ios -no-restoreĭotnet build HelloMaui -t:run -f net6.0-maccatalyst -no-restore So open a terminal and go to the directory were HelloMaui.csproj resides. On Mac, at least, you can’t yet run from the IDE. Then download the sample themselves (same page) and you’re ready. All are linked on here on the samples page. You need to install the Preview 2 version of the dotNet 6 SDK, as well as the Preview 2 Android, iOS, and Mac Catalyst workloads. Preview 2įast forward to a couple days ago and Preview 2 has been released. Even my Xamarin Forms 5 project stop building, so good thing I was using an old laptop! But, this could easily have been something I screwed up. Maui was available if you switched to the /dev branch, but when I did that everything stopped building. The sample projects only had iOS, Android, and Forms and I really wanted to play with Maui. I gave it a shot but I couldn’t quite get it working. Preview 1 of dotNet 6 came out a little while ago.

It’s easy to do this using a free website like Figma, just make two copies of the original SVG, and edit one with only the background and for the other, delete the background layer from the original SVG.Now that we’ve got the Xamarin Forms project, let’s get a Maui project. Prep your SVGįirst you will need the to split your app icon into two SVG’s of size 1024x1024, the background called appicon.svg and the foreground with a transparent background called foreground.svg. But tired of generating new app icons for the infinity-eth time, despite the simple Python script we created 2.5 years ago, we decided to procrastinate (again) and reverse engineer the source code in the GitHub repo to figure this out, and share it so we can all save time collectively. We all love the ResizetizerNT library that allows you to use SVG files as images in the app, but wouldn’t it be amazing if could also automatically generated all the needed files for iOS & Android app icons in all the right locations during build time, including the Android adaptive and round icons? Well, this undocumented gem was hiding right in front of your eyes!Ĭreated by Xamarin.Forms/MAUI Engineering Manager Jonathan Dick, at first I didn’t think it was completely supported because of no official article/documentation. Using ResizetizerNT to generate all the tedious Xcassets, PNGs & XMLs files, including adaptive and round icons
