My MAUI App
Welcome to the My MAUI App repository! This document provides you with instructions on how to get started with the app development using .NET MAUI on Visual Studio.
🚀 Prerequisites
Visual Studio 2022 (or later) Ensure you have the latest version with .NET MAUI workload installed. You can download it from Visual Studio's official website. .NET MAUI Workload If not already installed, open the Visual Studio Installer and modify your installation to include the .NET MAUI (Mobile and Desktop) workload. Mobile Development Emulators For Android: Ensure you have Android Emulator setup. For iOS: You need a Mac connected to your network for deploying and debugging. Also, ensure that Xcode and the necessary simulators are installed.

📦 Required NuGet Packages
For this project, we utilize several essential NuGet packages to enhance its functionality:
- Newtonsoft.Json Used for JSON serialization and deserialization.
bash Copy code Install-Package Newtonsoft.Json 2. System.Net.Http This namespace contains the HttpClient class for sending HTTP requests and receiving HTTP responses from a URI.
Note: Starting with .NET Core and .NET 5, System.Net.Http is part of the .NET runtime, meaning you don't need to install an additional package for it.
💡 Tips
In case of any build errors related to NuGet packages, try restoring the NuGet packages or cleaning and rebuilding the solution. Always make sure your emulators are up to date and you've installed the necessary SDKs in Visual Studio. If you're experiencing issues with hot reload, ensure that you're using a supported emulator/device and that you have the latest updates installed for Visual Studio. 📖 Documentation & Resources
