What is maui-samples?

This repository is a collection of example apps built with .NET MAUI, a framework from Microsoft for building mobile and desktop applications using C# and a layout language called XAML. The key promise of .NET MAUI is that you write your code once and it runs on Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows without needing separate codebases for each platform. The samples here are organized by .NET version. The main folder covers .NET MAUI 10, which is the current stable release. There is also a preview folder for .NET 11 features. An older .NET 9 folder is marked as deprecated since that version is no longer supported. A separate section contains migration guides for developers moving from Xamarin.Forms, an older Microsoft framework that .NET MAUI replaced. The example apps cover a wide range of scenarios. There are AI-focused samples showing how to wire a chat interface to a language model. There are full app examples including a point-of-sale app, a weather app, and a calculator. Navigation samples show different ways to move between screens. A beginners series folder accompanies an official video learning course for people new to .NET MAUI. These samples are maintained by Microsoft's .NET team and serve as the reference material for the official documentation. Each sample demonstrates specific features or patterns a developer might want to replicate in their own app. The repository is licensed under the MIT license and is part of the broader .NET open-source ecosystem on GitHub.
