I'm an absolute huge fan of all things .NET but I'm honestly a little hesitant about MAUI for now. Just feels a little early and duct-tapped? I also had a poor experience with Xamarin years ago...

Flutter is such a good experience for us right now. I'd love "Flutter but in C#" which I think is what they want to do with Xamarin.Forms. Is it ready?

Anything that has a Xamarin legacy will forever have a "buggy and unfinished" stain on it for me. But I'll be glad to be proven wrong.

Very early days and not quite "Flutter in C#" but support for C# is on the roadmap https://hydro-sdk.io/

Whoa. You have my attention.

Over the air updates are currently a "rest of the owl" situation for users.

First party support for hosting and over the air updates is coming before the end of the year.
