.NET 11 Preview 3 brings a batch of long-awaited .NET MAUI improvements. Gerald demos each one with a sample app, showing what the code looks like and how easy the new APIs are to use.

What you’ll learn

  • Maps upgrades: pin clustering with ClusteringIdentifier, custom pin icons via ImageSource, MapLongClicked event, and click handlers on circles, polygons, and polylines
  • The new LongPressGestureRecognizer: built-in long press support with MinimumPressDuration, state tracking, position tracking, and command binding — no more toolkit workarounds
  • XAML improvements: implicit namespace declarations enabled by default, XAML source generation compiling XAML to C# for faster startup
  • New styles API with InvalidateStyle() and VisualStateManager.InvalidateVisualStates() for Hot Reload
  • Build improvements: smaller release builds (77.8 MB down to 41.6 MB on Apple platforms) and faster incremental builds
  • How to safely test .NET 11 previews locally without affecting your system-wide .NET installation
