We've been working hard the past year on Prism for .NET MAUI, and at times it felt almost impossible as every time I would catch up with the MAUI team there would be new breaking changes that made it all pointless...

Xamarin Forms UI Development Made Easy with LiveXAML 10 October 2017 Dan-Siegel Xamarin I'm all about working with XAML in my Xamarin Forms apps.
