Sample project with XAML views on net6.0 and MvvmCross 9 about mvvmcross HOT 6 CLOSED

@Cheesebaron got it, we love MvvmCross, sad this is the end.

Do you have any recommendations for such a migration? Should we use MAUI shell navigation or do you recommend another MVVM framework that would work with .NET 6/7/8 and would lower the migration effort?

Is a sample PR of such a move from Forms/MvvmCross to MAUI or some other framework available? It could be some very simple project with just a couple of Views/ViewModels and DI & navigation migration.

I think on the DI we can handle - we'll switch to whatever is needed. Not too sure about the XAML binding, converters, etc.

In MvvmCross the navigation is ViewModel based, but we are not sure then how would we migrate to shell based.

@Cheesebaron if needed we can maybe help with this work, we'll just need some guidance - not sure what is needed for have a couple of sample (.NET Maui) XAML views in the latest TipCalc projects on MvvmCross 9.

Forms support was discontinued, since Xamarin.Forms does not support .NET 6 or it didn't when I migrated. So decided at that time to remove it. Currently there is no MAUI support, so there is no migration path for your Forms App, except for redoing the ViewModel, DI and Navigation parts of your App.

A new .NET MAUI project today (.NET 6/7/8) does support XAML views out of the box - they look very similar to XAML views we see in Xamarin Forms 5.

It is not just about XAML and navigation support for MAUI. But it wouldn't integrate nicely at all with the hosting mechanism MAUI has.

So either way it has to wait for #4437 to get done. I've been working on it on and off, but it just has so many things it affects. So in the short term no MAUI UI framework support. Perhaps in the long term.

Nope, I don't dabble in MAUI
