From Preview 11, .NET MAUI enables implicit usings so common namespaces are available automatically. David Britch lists exactly what you no longer need to import — a real help when you’re new to the framework.

What you’ll learn

  • MAUI namespaces — the Microsoft.Maui.* and Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection namespaces now available implicitly
  • Platform namespaces — implicit usings for .NET Android (Android.App, Android.Widget, Android.OS.Bundle), .NET iOS/Mac Catalyst (CoreGraphics, Foundation, UIKit), and .NET macOS (AppKit, and more)
  • The exceptions — namespaces like Microsoft.Maui.Layouts you’ll still need to import manually
  • File-scoped namespaces — how the templates changed alongside implicit usings
