No MSIX 🚫 Distribute Your .NET MAUI Windows App Unpackaged 

Glad you were able to make it a success! Congrats!

That should be a next logical step! I think that will make even more people happy!

@@jfversluis Is there some update regarding the single executable?

@@matiasbonet6618 a workaround is using IL Merge

Happy to help!

Thank you!

Thank you sir 🫡

Glad you liked it José thank you!

Yes! Official docs on that should be published soon :)

@@jfversluis Good to hear! Thanks!

@@en_acorn thanks for you support Wendell! 🥰

Of course my friend! How can I forget you! Thank you so much!

@@jfversluis 😘😘

¡que gran! ¡Gracias!

As mentioned in the video. Doing it like this puts you in charge of checking it all the requirements are there. So you need to make sure WinAppSDK is installed on the machine and in the case of a Blazor app also WebView2, those are the likely causes. Having that said, there is a current issue ongoing here: github.com/dotnet/maui/issues/10054 you might want to check that out

@@jfversluis Thank you for you kindly reply. It is working when I do build instead of publish. It seems some data asset files are not copied into publish folder.

Thanks for the kind words! There are lots of optimizations you can do. You might want to check the docs. Als a debug build is not the same as a production build. If you do a release build it should be much better.

@@jfversluis Thanks for the quick response Gerald. Guess there is a difference between a whole solution and the build of (CTRL+B), so the size is now with 162mb mush better. While I'm here, maybe one more thing, if I may... Talking to a developer of MAUI, is there ehem... a chance for a Linux support in the future? :'D This would round up the MAUI as an real cross-plattform solution. : ] For a lot of people it's important to know to take a decision what technology they want to spend the time with...

Not officially right now, we're looking into it. Search the repository for issues about it there, are some hacks I think to make it work today.

Hat shouldn’t matter

Good question! I'm not 100% sure. I would say at the very least you can include different files in your csproj with different conditions depending on the build configuration

I’m afraid not. .NET MAUI apps run on Windows 10 and above

@@jfversluis Is there any workaround please?

Sorry that doesn’t ring any bells

I had the same problem when I try create using inno setup. The only way i have discovery to fix this, was changed the install folder of the aplication out of C:/Program Files (or C:/Program Files x86), something like C:/newFolderMaui, it works for me

I work on the .NET MAUI team, I think you’re asking the wrong person 😉 Both have pros and cons. The biggest difference being: Flutter draws everything where .NET MAUI maps everything to the platform controls. With drawing the look and feel will be exactly the same across platforms, but might not necessarily feel natural on a certain platform. Also you might lose built-in capabilities in terms of functionality or more hidden things like accessibility. By mapping everything to the platform control you will retain the platform-specific look and feel which should make it feel more natural on the platform you’re running on, you’ll be able to leverage all functionality including accessibility, but things might look different depending on the platform you’re running it on. At the end of the day both can do the exact same thing but in a different way and it simply comes down to what you like to use or what requirements you might have.

Thanks alot😅

@@anwaralomari2261 hope it helps!

@@jfversluis Of course I love MAUI and look forward to it being the best

That very much depends on the installer. If you do use MSIX that is an installer in itself

Xamarin is based on UWP. I’m not too familiar unfortunately… If it’s possible with UWP, it’s possible with Xamarin.

Yep!

What home text?

@@jfversluis at the navigator left top

Define “not working”?

@@jfversluis Thank you very much for your reply Before updating Windows and vs, this method worked fine for me But now two errors happen first error says Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State Error c1010070 Failed to load and parse the manifest. Windows was unable to parse the requested XML data. MauiApp1 C:\Users\hesham 1 The second error says Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State Error MSB3073 The command ""C:\Users\hesham gaber\.nuget\packages\microsoft.windows.sdk.buildtools\10.0.22621.755\bin\10.0.22621.0\x64\mt.exe" -nologo -manifest "C: \Users\hesham gaber\Desktop\upload2this\MauiApp1\obj\Release et7.0-windows10.0.19041.0\win10-x64\\Manifests\app.manifest" "Platforms\Windows\app.manifest" C:\Users \hesham gaber\.nuget\packages\microsoft.windowsappsdk\1.2.221209.1\manifests\Microsoft.InteractiveExperiences.manifest C:\Users\hesham gaber\.nuget\packages\microsoft.windowsappsdk\1.2.221209.1\manifests\Microsoft.WindowsAppSdk .Foundation.manifest -out:"C:\Users\hesham gaber\Desktop\upload2this\MauiApp1\obj\Release et7.0-windows10.0.19041.0\win10-x64\\Manifests\mergeapp.manifest"" exited with code 31.

The solution is New setup for windows 😅

@@hesham1871 sorry to hear that!

A bit hard to say with just this error message, but the first thing that stands out is that this seems to use an older and experimental version of WinAppSDK, so updating that seems to be a first logical step

@@jfversluis I thought that might be the issue but how do I install a new version?

You’ll want to add something like this: github.com/CommunityToolkit/Maui/blob/add-mediaelement/samples/CommunityToolkit.Maui.Sample/CommunityToolkit.Maui.Sample.csproj#L79-L81

Thanks I will give that a try

It only happens on my Maui app that has Maui class libraries, it been a real pain

Sounds like one or more of the dependencies are not on your system?

@@jfversluis Thanks for your quick reply. I'm completely new to this. I have got the following: - VS Community 2022 17.3.6 - VCRedist x64 2015-2022 14.34.31931 - Windows App SDK x64 1.2.221116.1 - .NET 6.0.402 Do I need anything else?
