.NET MAUI / Xamarin Consulting

Our .NET developers are industry veterans and experts in the features and technology of Microsoft. Bring in our .NET developers for small tasks such as advice, risk management review or licencing assessments; or a full .NET development team for larger engagements such as proof of concept or application failure resolution.

.NET MAUI / Xamarin Support

As a .NET practice, we can provide ongoing .NET application support for custom software whether we built it or it's an existing system. Our support staff are fully qualified software engineers, not helpdesk staff. That means your support team will be very familiar with the technology used and be able to provide the expertise you need, when you need it.

.NET MAUI / Xamarin Resourcing

Increase the capacity of your in-house team for custom .NET development with our expert team augmentation.

Microsoft .NET MAUI / Xamarin Application Development

Build your mobile application once and deploy anywhere.

With the .NET MAUI/Xamarin platform, we can create apps for iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, HoloLens, X-box and Tizen in C#. .NET MAUI/Xamarin developed apps all use the same language, APIs and data structures and share on average greater than 95% of code across all mobile development platforms. Making it a very cost-efficient form of development.

C# is also used to develop the server applications that mobile apps communicate with, resulting in the major benefit of having the same programming language and development platform in use across the full application development stack.

Our software engineers and consultants can help you with:

  • Custom building new high-performance applications to help you innovate and disrupt your market
  • Custom software development for cloud, on-premises and mobile applications
  • System re-engineering – upgrading and migrating legacy applications to the cloud
  • Migrating between versions
  • Maintaining and supporting new or existing custom .NET platforms
  • Integrating cross-platform applications

Mobile User Interface (UI) Development

.Xamarin offers two ways to develop the UI for a mobile application and now there is the third option of .NET MAUI as well. Given the requirements of a mobile application, Transparity can advise on which approach is the most suitable.

XAMARIN

Forms:

  • This is based on XAML the standard for Windows Desktop application development
  • Offers very high levels of code compatibility between IOS, Android and Windows apps

2. iOS and Xamarin.Android:

  • Supports separate and totally native custom UI code for iOS and Android devices
  • Offers the opportunity for making the UI very device specific at the expense of having reduced code sharing. Only the non-UI elements will share code

.NET MAUI

  • Being multi-platform, .NET MAUI uses the latest .NET tech to build natively across Windows, macOS, iOS and Android
  • Uses a single C# codebase for all devices while maintaining the look and feel of the native platform
  • Use the power of Visual Studio to make beautiful apps

Migrating Applications from Xamarin to .NET MAUI

With Xamarin end of support announced for May 2024, migration should be top of mind.

Broadly, the following steps need to be followed to migrate Xamarin.Forms apps to .NET MAUI:

  • Convert the projects from .NET Framework to .NET SDK style
  • Update namespaces
  • Update any incompatible NuGet packages
  • Address any breaking API changes
  • Run the converted app and verify functionality

Some Xamarin code will be able to make the upgrade, some will need abandoning and some re-writing. The process of sorting through the code and making these decisions will determine the best route to migration for each individual project.

Being very familiar with both Xamarin and .NET MAUI, the Transparity engineers have the required expertise to skillfully migrate your apps from Xamarin to .NET MAUI when the time is right.

App Innovation Customer Stories

The availability and performance of a large and complex healthcare management system is the foundation for 'end user service levels. CHT moved their development and support to Transparity at the beginning of the year and improved results have been immediate.

As AppCan’s client base expands, some users required specific functionality. In this case, AppCan was approached by an existing client – a large gas services company – looking for a development partner as it had won the delivery lead framework contract bid for London.

Cornerstone was in the process of implementing an IT system that would manage their entire estate (circa 21,000 sites). This system needed to contain all details of the estate and ensure a greater level of automation could be achieved between Cornerstone, its customers and suppliers.
