Xamarin Developers and MAUI Migration

Developers who keep existing Xamarin apps running and plan their move to .NET MAUI after Xamarin's end of support.

Overview

Hire Xamarin Developers

Microsoft ended support for Xamarin in 2024, which means new Android and iOS SDK targets no longer arrive and store requirements can eventually block updates. Many companies still run Xamarin.Forms or Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Android apps in production, and those apps need someone who understands both the old code and the replacement.

Our Xamarin developers help in two ways. First, they maintain what you have, fixing bugs and keeping builds compliant for as long as feasible. Second, they plan the move to .NET MAUI, which shares much of the C# and XAML approach but changes project structure, handlers and many libraries. We assess dependencies, migrate in stages and test on real devices.

Context

When to hire

  • 01

    Your app cannot update for new OS targets

    Without support, store requirements will eventually force action, so planning early avoids a scramble.

  • 02

    Custom renderers and old libraries block progress

    These often need replacing with MAUI handlers or maintained alternatives.

  • 03

    Few developers know Xamarin now

    Specialists with both Xamarin and MAUI knowledge are harder to find in-house.

  • 04

    You are choosing a destination

    MAUI is the direct path, but native or Flutter rewrites may also be worth weighing.

Capabilities

Skills you get

  1. 01

    Xamarin maintenance

    Bug fixes, dependency updates and build maintenance for Xamarin.Forms and native projects.

  2. 02

    MAUI migration

    Using upgrade tooling and manual refactoring to move to single-project .NET MAUI.

  3. 03

    Renderer to handler conversion

    Rewriting custom renderers and platform effects.

  4. 04

    Dependency assessment

    Finding NuGet packages that lack MAUI support and planning replacements.

  5. 05

    Device testing

    Regression checks across iOS and Android versions before release.

  4. 4

    Build & review

    Work runs in your process with regular updates, and the team can scale as needs change.

FAQs

Common questions

Have a question that is not covered here? Get in touch.

Is Xamarin still supported?

No. Microsoft ended Xamarin support in 2024 and recommends .NET MAUI, so we focus on maintaining current apps and migrating them.

Is migrating to MAUI straightforward?

It is closer than a rewrite, but project structure, renderers and some libraries change. We assess your app before estimating effort.

Should we consider other frameworks?

Possibly, if your team no longer uses C#. We can talk through MAUI, native or Flutter against your situation.
