Hello James, Is it possible to programmatically enable the GPS service in .NET MAUI 8, similar to how it's done in other frameworks?

Looking great!!

Hii James , i have a 1 doubt in flyoutitem and tab bar item : Tab Bar has a Attribute to display a FlyoutItemIsVisible="False/True" But there is no attribute on flyout item to diplay Tabbaritemvisible Is that possible any other way to do it ?

Nice guide. Please make a similar one for the MacOS. My upgrade to net8 on that platform did not go as smooth and seamlessly as shown here for windows. So it would be a great thing to learn. Thanks in advance.

All this is great. But i want to change the top bar of my app on windows platform. There is no easy way to do that yet? When will that be implemented?

Amazing informative video james .. could you please make a tutorial about making push notifications when applicatiion is not running or phone started and app not open yet for Maui Blazor iOS

Hi James - I really find your videos very helpful, please keep them coming. One question I have is around XAML and .Net Maui docs. I generally know what I want to do with a UI but thee are so many options and switches. I think back to what I consider the golden days of programming in VB, Java and C++. What I miss the most are the awesome manuals that Sun used to put out. You would find one topic, IDE component or Method per one or two pages. It would in plain language tell you what it does and provide a simple in context example. It was well indexed and I could find things I wanted quickly. What I feel is lacking today is something similar. I know books cannot be a medium given how quickly .Net changes. But is there a good source where I can just search for say "border" and be show the various ways one can be used and in what context and with code examples. Regarding Microsoft docs - sorry but I have never found them to be that well organized. Sun takes the prize for me. They were big books but I wore them out! LOL

hi, When will we get the Firebase nuget package for .net 7/ .net 8? Is it in the pipeline ?

When you upgrade you just need to change the TFM to net8 and then add those new items from the csproj and should be good to go

@@zoiobnu Context Menu does not work on Mac (it turns into a swipe on ListViews). I'm unable to do the equivalent of Form.OpenDialog() (I guess I have to use a flyout but not the experience I'm looking for on a desktop UI). Tabbing from one Entry to another simply does not work on mac for me. Radio buttons are always black on Mac which is no good on a dark theme. I'm slowly coming to realise that I need to give up on replicating traditional desktop UX and just go with what MAUI can do. I've just updated to .net8 and it's much better than before, at least the list view on mac no longer has render glitches, so that's a massive win. I am noticing Entry text colours are not always applying correctly, sometimes the colour I set Is used, some times it's black, a clean and rebuild seems to fix it for most of my controls but not all, I have one Entry control that is set the current datetime bound to a vm property, that just will not pick up the correct text colour. Also, I can no long see my .xaml files in Visual Studio for mac (since updating to .net8), I think i'll have to switch to vs code. I'm happy enough now but I've had to admit defeat on many things I expect to be able to do. Context menus on mac really is the main pain point now, I'll have to check if they now work since updating to .net8, if not i'll have to figure out a work around.

Thanks for the video James ! But I am quite disappointed that MAUI ticket 1069 wasn't considered for .NET8. Because we use Maui Hybrid and having Web as a separate platform folder would improve our dev experience. Ofc this makes sense only for MAUI Hybrid and not for pure MAUI because then you would need to be able to render web UI from XAML.

@JamesMontemagno

In my Blazor Hybrid video you can just use your Blazor components/pages in a blazor app and share them between the projects with a Razor Class Library. Which is what the issue is looking for. They have fundamentally different startup and middleware at this point.

.NET MAUI for Linux??? I don't think so

Microsoft has several mobile apps in the app stores that were built with React Native. How many Maui apps does Microsoft have? Any? Maui has fallen far, far behind React Native and Flutter in terms of mindshare and market share. Maui / XAML development also feels old and clunky. I can't help but think that Maui is the walking dead. Remember the promises made by Microsoft about Silverlight, before Microsoft pulled the plug? I think Maui we're seeing the same thing with Maui. It's not long for this world.

I'm interested in and will continue following MAUI but I have a lot of the same reservations. The thing that always kept me from going React Native / Flutter is needing to learn Swift and Kotlin for platform-specific stuff, but I'm getting over that hump. I'm also learning that building UIs with native SwiftUI and Jetpack Compose isn't all that time-consuming.

For this same reason we use Blazor for UI, because also in case MAUI would die like Silverlight (what theoretically wont happen because it is still opensource) we can migrate to Avalonia or Uno with minimal changes.

Is Maui's market share growing faster than Xamarin's market share is shrinking?

Still no official Linux support and the "community supported" nonsense is a non starter. Any tech that tries to bait me into running Windows and VS is a hard nope as well. MAUI is dead tech walking and I wouldn't bet any part of a business on it. No matter how great and fantastic your teammates are. Give it time, MS will drop it.
