Package for .Net MAUI

[muffadal53]

Hi @jberezanski. Like Xamarin build tools "visualstudio2022-workload-xamarinbuildtools" , Is there any similar chocolatey build tools package available for .NET MAUI?

[jberezanski]

From what I can see on the workloads and components listing page (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/install/workload-component-id-vs-build-tools?view=vs-2022#net-multi-platform-app-ui-development), MAUI tools are included in the xamarinbuildtools workload.

Many thanks @jberezanski for quick reply and information.

So, as I understand as the MAUI workload is part of Visual Studio build tools (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/install/workload-component-id-vs-build-tools?view=vs-2022#mobile-development-with-net) hence I can use the package "https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/visualstudio2022-workload-xamarinbuildtools" for .Net MAUI compilation and there won't be any update needed to this chocolatey package. Is my understanding correct?

[jberezanski]

That is my understanding as well, based on Microsoft docs. However, I don't use MAUI personally, so I don't have any actual experience with that workload (other than the fact the package installs successfully).

@jberezanski Speaking of packages for MAUI, I noticed that in the Visual Studio Installer the "Mobile development with .NET" workload seems to have been renamed/replaced with ".NET Multi-platform App UI development".

[jberezanski]

@stogle ah, indeed, it seems to be the case. The workload id is still the same, Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.XamarinBuildTools (fortunately; it would be crazy if they changed the id as well), so only the package title needs updating. I would welcome a PR.

@jberezanski : So, if I understand correctly the PR for package title change (as mentioned by @stogle for .Net MAUI) you expect is in all "nuspec" files for all Visual Studio versions like for example "visualstudio2022enterprise/visualstudio2022enterprise.nuspec". Is this right?
