Migration Paths and Tooling from Xamarin to .NET MAUI
summary
Shows concrete migration steps from Xamarin.Forms to .NET MAUI: runs the Upgrade Assistant CLI to convert csproj, update namespaces and swap NuGet packages (Xamarin Community Toolkit → Maui Community Toolkit), and backs up the original project; the tool automates roughly 60–70% of changes so manual fixes remain for custom renderers, API renames and platform files. Demo migrates a sample app, deletes ~2,000 lines of old boilerplate, replaces MVVM helpers with MAUI DI, fixes SQLite and MonkeyCache package versions, and finishes as a runnable Android app after a few manual edits.
