-
Install the SDKs listed here https://github.com/dotnet/net6-mobile-samples
-
And/or run the following
dotnet tool install Cake.Tool -g
- If you have Visual Studio 16.9 P4 installed you can open
Maui.slnand run it from there.
You can run a Cake target to bootstrap .NET 6 in bin\dotnet and launch Visual Studio:
dotnet cake --target=VS-NET6
NOTE: VS Mac is not yet supported.
You can also run commands individually:
# Provision .NET 6 in bin\dotnet
dotnet build src\DotNet\DotNet.csproj
# Builds Maui MSBuild tasks
.\bin\dotnet\dotnet build Microsoft.Maui.BuildTasks-net6.sln
# Builds the rest of Maui
.\bin\dotnet\dotnet build Microsoft.Maui-net6.sln
# (Windows-only) to launch Visual Studio
.\eng\dogfood.ps1
To build & run .NET 6 sample apps, you will also need to use .\bin\dotnet\dotnet:
.\bin\dotnet\dotnet build src\Controls\samples\Controls.Sample.Droid\Maui.Controls.Sample.Droid-net6.csproj -t:Run
.\bin\dotnet\dotnet build src\Controls\samples\Controls.Sample.iOS\Maui.Controls.Sample.iOS-net6.csproj -t:Run
Try out a "single project", you will need the -f switch to choose the platform:
.\bin\dotnet\dotnet build src\Controls\samples\Controls.Sample.SingleProject\Maui.Controls.Sample.SingleProject.csproj -t:Run -f net6.0-android
.\bin\dotnet\dotnet build src\Controls\samples\Controls.Sample.SingleProject\Maui.Controls.Sample.SingleProject.csproj -t:Run -f net6.0-ios
