GitHub Actions

Since our source code is hosted on GitHub, let’s use GitHub Actions as an example to introduce you to how to set up CI workflows for .NET MAUI development. GitHub Actions is an automation platform that can help streamline and automate essential tasks related to your project, like building, testing, and deploying code updates. This powerful feature ensures that your code remains verified and ready for deployment at any time, allowing developers to focus on writing new features and fixing bugs while maintaining quality assurance.

Understanding GitHub Actions

For .NET MAUI app development, our target is to build, test, and deploy our apps to app stores or specified publishing channels. In this section, we will focus on CI using GitHub Actions rather than both CI and CD. To deploy apps to various stores, there are many account-specific setup steps; please refer to the .NET MAUI document for the details: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/maui/deployment...
