Photo by Neora Aylon

Last year I wrote macOS Environment Setup for MAUI Development for the JetBrains .NET blog, and while many folks have told me they still find it helpful, it is, admittedly, out of date. So in this post, I’ll give you a shorter and more manageable guide to setting up your development environment for Multi-platform App UI (MAUI) in 2023.

I’ve helped several folks set up their macOS environment with this updated guide, and it should mostly apply to a Windows environment (outside of the OS-specific SDKs).
