Should i start with MAUI?
I've been looking for android development on .net and i found about MAUI and xamarin.
I learned that Microsoft is discontinuing the support to Xamarin and incentive devs to use MAUI.
I started my project with this template (picture), but i noticed it does not specify if it uses xamarin, MAUI or none. And tutorials are different from it.
Considering it's my first time learning mobile development on .net, MAUI is the best way to go?

Unfortunately MAUI is the best mobile framework for .NET, the thing about MAUI is that it has far too many bugs and issues to be somewhat usable.
But at least it works
Also, Xamarin is out of support since 1.5.24 and MAUI is it's successor.
you either use MAUI App if u want full control, it works fairly well on mobile it sucks on desktop only
or u go blazor with maui
which is the alternative if u want to stick to c#
Actually there's an alternative to MAUI, you could go with Avalonia as well, but I would prefer MAUI if the project aims at mobile devices.
avalonia is far behind in terms of mobile
but yes still an alternative
thank everyone for the answers i'll start with MAUI
one funny thing is that the template i used first don't seems to use any framework
open the vs installer
and install the workload
then u should see the proper templates
ah yes, thanks
