Using .NET MAUI, you can develop apps that'll run on Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows from a single shared code-base. This step-by-step guide provides a comprehensive introduction to those who are new to .NET MAUI that will have you up to speed with app development using .NET MAUI in no time. The book begins by showing you how to develop a cross-platform application using .NET MAUI and then helps you build an app throughout the chapters. You'll gain all the knowledge needed to create a cross-platform application for Android, iOS, the mac OS, and Windows from a single shared code-base using .NET MAUI. As you advance, you'll get to grips with the entire application development lifecycle, from design and implementation through to deployment to the app store through the development of a password manager app using KeePassLib. The concluding chapters will teach you how to integrate the latest frontend technology into your app through .NET MAUI Blazor. By the end of this book, you'll have learned how to develop your own cross-platform applications using .NET MAUI. What you will learn * Discover the latest features of .NET 6 that can be used in mobile and desktop app development * Find out how to build cross-platform apps with .NET MAUI and Blazor * Implement device-specific features using .NET MAUI Essentials * Integrate third-party libraries and add your own device-specific features * Discover .NET class unit test using xUnit.net and Razor components unit test using bUnit * Deploy apps in different app stores on mobile as well as desktop Who This Book Is For This book is an entry-level .NET MAUI book for mobile developers interested in cross-platform application development with working experience of the .NET Core framework, as well as fresh or junior engineers who've just begun their career in mobile app development.

Basic knowledge of modern object-oriented programming language, such as C#, Java or Kotlin, is assumed.

Build, customize, and debug your own Android system About This Book * Master Android system-level programming by integrating, customizing, and extending popular open source projects * Use Android emulators to explore the true potential of your hardware * Master key debugging techniques to create a hassle-free development environment Who This Book Is For This book is for Android system programmers and developers who want to use Android and create indigenous projects with it. You should know the important points about the operating system and the C/C++ programming language. What You Will Learn * Set up the Android development environment and organize source code repositories * Get acquainted with the Android system architecture * Build the Android emulator from the AOSP source tree * Find out how to enable WiFi in the Android emulator * Debug the boot up process using a customized Ramdisk * Port your Android system to a new platform using VirtualBox * Find out what recovery is and see how to enable it in the AOSP build * Prepare and test OTA packages In Detail Android system programming involves both hardware and software knowledge to work on system level programming. The developers need to use various techniques to debug the different components in the target devices. With all the challenges, you usually have a deep learning curve to master relevant knowledge in this area. This book will not only give you the key knowledge you need to understand Android system programming, but will also prepare you as you get hands-on with projects and gain debugging skills that you can use in your future projects. You will start by exploring the basic setup of AOSP, and building and testing an emulator image. In the first project, you will learn how to customize and extend the Android emulator. Then you'll move on to the real challenge-building your own Android system on VirtualBox. You'll see how to debug the init process, resolve the bootloader issue, and enable various hardware interfaces. When you have a complete system, you will learn how to patch and upgrade it through recovery. Throughout the book, you will get to know useful tips on how to integrate and reuse existing open source projects such as LineageOS (CyanogenMod), Android-x86, Xposed, and GApps in your own system. Style and approach This is an easy-to-follow guide full of hands-on examples and system-level programming tips.
