[Question] Will there be MAUI Template Studio?

Open harvinders opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

Windows Template Studio is great. I have not used anything else to develop my Apps of lately, even prototype, as I know I can add functionality in the application later.

I know there has been attempts in past to bring Xamarin into template studio. I don't know why it never happened; however it would be great if MAUI could be supported when it is released. We want to develop cross platform apps, but it is a big learning curve and I think something like WTS would be big helping hand for us to start developing cross platform apps.

To that end, as more project types are supported (especially cross-platform types), are there plans to provide templates for VS for Mac? It's hard to be cross-platform when your IDE plays favorites.

@SittenSpynne due to the [current] vast differences between Visual Studio (for Windows) and Visual Studio for Mac porting the current extension to also work on a Mac would be very difficult and time-consuming. Sadly, I don't see it happening any time soon.
