Install .NET 9 from the installer, and then dotnet workload install maui.

thanks @davidortinau
what is the vision and roadmap for the .NET9 timeline? Any news about Swift Interop or Platform Channels?

[davidortinau]

Roadmap and link to the Swift Interop design. https://github.com/dotnet/maui/wiki/Roadmap

These aren't on the roadmap, so you can find more info here:

• Platform channels https://github.com/Redth/Microsoft.Maui.Platform.Channels
• Slim bindings https://github.com/Redth/MapboxSlimBindingDemo

We have a couple new examples of slim bindings coming soon.

Hi guys, we are ready for MAUI in VisionOS, how about you?

Do you have any good news for me? 😊

Wow you have a neater desk than I do. My desk looks post apocalyptic. 😂

@davidortinau Any chance we can get:

• Worker Editor on iOS?
• Working Label on Android?
• Working Label Measurement on Android (likely cause of above issue)?
• Working Border on Android?

I don't mean to be a nag about this. I appreciate your team's work, but I don't know how anyone can release any apps with these problems. I am certainly still stuck.

As far as I can tell those are the only remaining crippling issues in the most basic types of elements. If I could get those working and the current ongoing Shadow fixes I see end up working as advertised, I would have everything I need to function.

Thanks for any thoughts or timeline.
