Abstract:

.NET Multi-platform App UI (MAUI) promises unified development for mobile and desktop platforms using a single codebase. This paper evaluates the performance, memory footprint, and UI responsiveness of .NET MAUI apps compared to native development environments and Xamarin.Forms. User experience metrics and developer productivity are analyzed to assess suitability for enterprise-grade applications. The research informs teams evaluating .NET MAUI for cross-platform mobile and desktop strategies.

Keywords: .NET MAUI, Cross-Platform Development, Xamarin.Forms, Native Apps, UI Responsiveness, Developer Productivity, Mobile UI, Desktop UI, Enterprise Apps
