    Study Notes

    Mobile App Development Lifecycle

    • Mobile app development lifecycle follows similar phases as web or desktop application development.
    • The five phases are:
      • Inception: Idea generation and refinement.
      • Design: Defining user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) design.
      • Development: Building the app.
      • Stabilization: Testing and debugging the app, often with limited beta phases for user feedback.
      • Deployment: Delivering the app to users.

    .NET MAUI: Cross-Platform Framework

    • .NET MAUI is a cross-platform framework for building native mobile and desktop apps using C# and XAML.
    • It supports Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows platforms.
    • .NET MAUI provides a unified API for all platforms.
    • It offers deep access to native platform functionalities while enabling a write-once, run-anywhere experience.

    .NET MAUI Architecture

    • .NET MAUI provides a single project system for developing UIs for mobile and desktop applications.
    • App code mainly interacts with .NET MAUI API, which then accesses native platform APIs.
    • Optionally, app code can directly interact with platform APIs for specific functionalities.

    .NET MAUI Features

    • Provides a set of controls for displaying data, initiating actions, indicating activity, and more.
    • Includes an elaborate layout engine for designing pages.
    • Supports different page types for rich navigation, including drawers.
    • Enables data-binding for more elegant and maintainable development patterns.
    • Offers customization of handlers for enhanced UI element presentation.
    • Provides cross-platform APIs for accessing native device features (e.g., GPS, accelerometer, battery status, network state).
    • Offers cross-platform graphics functionality, providing a drawing canvas for shapes, images, and graphical transforms.
    • Features .NET hot reload, allowing modification of XAML and managed source code while the app is running without rebuilding.

    Accessing Device Features with .NET MAUI

    • Provides APIs for accessing device sensors (e.g., accelerometer, compass, gyroscope).
    • Allows checking network connectivity status and detecting changes.
    • Offers information about the device running the app.
    • Enables cross-app text copying and pasting to the system clipboard.
    • Provides file picking functionality.
    • Securely stores data as key/value pairs.
    • Utilizes built-in text-to-speech engines for reading text from the device.
    • Supports browser-based authentication flows with callback to app-registered URLs.

    .NET MAUI Single Project

    • Provides a unified project system for targeting Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows platforms.
    • Simplifies and streamlines cross-platform development.
    • Offers features like:
      • A single shared project for all platforms.
      • Simplified debug target selection.
      • Shared resource files.
      • Single app manifest for configuration.
      • Access to platform-specific APIs when needed.
      • Single cross-platform app entry point.
