Glad I dodged that bullet. I really wanted to build a portfolio project with MAUI to have something cross-platform but was already wary because of Microsoft's non-stop parade of overlapping, half working, UI frameworks. I experimented with MAUI for a couple of days but kept running into issues on the most basic of things, only to find out it was a known issue that had been left unaddressed for an extended period of time.

From the outside, it seems crazy that a multi-trillion dollar company would put out a product this broken and leave it that way for a long time but anyone familiar with the internal workings of Microsoft sees this as another case of a team having lost some insider battle and banished to nether reaches of the company, starved of anything more than token resources, to slowly decay to death.

Please don't try maui, it will be a disaster. The migration from XF to Maui has been on the verge of collapse.
