UI testing is an essential part of mobile app development to ensure that the app delivers the best possible user experience and meets the needs and expectations of its users. But how do we do that in .NET MAUI when Xamarin.UITest is not fully compatible anymore? Let's look at 3 alternatives to Xamarin.UITest.
With the end of support for Xamarin approaching in May 2024, developers are busy migrating existing Xamarin.Forms projects to .NET MAUI as its successor. So are we, of course. In this article, I'll show 7 steps we've always had to take during the transition to make your upgrade .NET MAUI easier.

Apple's announcement that only iOS 7 compliant apps would be accepted in the App Store from February 1, 2014 was surprising not because of the announcement itself, but because of the short timeframe.
Developer Open Space, formerly .NET OpenSpace, is an event about software development that has been taking place in Leipzig for five years. In 2012 the organizers offered workshops for the first time, and they were very well received. I took part in one of them myself.
