This encompasses the complete range of activities involved in creating applications that operate across multiple platforms, such as iOS, Android, macOS, and Windows, using the .NET Multi-platform App UI (.NET MAUI) framework. This includes design, coding, testing, deployment, and ongoing maintenance of cross-platform applications. For example, a business requiring a single application to function seamlessly on both Android and iOS devices would utilize this to reduce development time and costs.
The utilization of a unified codebase offers significant advantages, reducing redundancy and streamlining the development lifecycle. This approach minimizes the need for platform-specific expertise and accelerates time to market. Historically, developing for multiple operating systems required separate, specialized teams and codebases, leading to increased complexity and resource allocation. This modern framework addresses these challenges by providing a single, shared codebase for a multitude of platforms.
