.NET MAUI performance test: CollectionView vs BindableLayout. Same data & UI. CollectionView stays smooth, while BindableLayout spikes CPU + memory and lags on navigation. 👉 Watch the meters in the video. Frame time tells the truth. 👉 Smooth delights users; lag becomes a negative App Store / Play Store review. ⚠️ Pick your UI components
I’ve read countless takes during my Xamarin → MAUI migrations about how Handlers are lighter and faster...plenty of claims, very few metrics. It felt like driving a car without a speedometer. So I took measurements. In this video, I compare a simple UI that fills the screen with Entry
Here’s the exact profiling flow I use in my projects (see video): ⭕ Publish a Release APK ⭕ Open Android Studio → File → Profile or Debug APK… and load that build. ⭕ Run it on a real device for more accurate results. ⭕ Use realistic, production-size data and real navigation flows. ⭕ Attach the Android
If performance feels bad, look at your layout first. Think like a renderer: every container is work. Reduce nesting, cut overdraw, keep the tree shallow, constrain sizes, and let virtualization do the heavy lifting ⚡ 🧩 Minimize layout complexity Flatten hierarchies; avoid stacks inside stacks Prefer a single well-planned Grid; constrain sizes
Level up with focused, production-grade mentorship. Build the right way and ship with confidence. If you’re planning—or already in the middle of—a migration from Xamarin.Forms to .NET MAUI, learn how to do it safely and predictably. What you get * Video lessons — structured modules with practical, production-focused
Go from scratch in MAUI, then bring code over selectively from your Xamarin app. 🚫🔧 Skip the upgrade tool!!! Start from a clean MAUI solution. 📦 Add only the NuGets you truly need. 🧩 Set up the application's core using the new architecture from the start. ✂️➡️📄 Migrate incrementally: copy views + VMs
🚀 Faster launch 🔻 Smaller app size If that’s what you want, invest in NativeAOT & Trimming. Check the results.
💥 .NET MAUI in Production: Stability Rules I Don’t Negotiate Everyone can build a .NET MAUI app. Not everyone can keep it alive in production. Shipping a MAUI app is not “QA passed on my device. ”It’s “this runs on millions of real devices, in real conditions, and it
Giving an app a soul is the part of the product the user can literally feel. ⚡ When they tap “Save”, do they get that tiny confirmation pulse, that subtle haptic feedback that says “I heard you”? Or do they tap into silence? That one detail changes everything. It builds trust.
