See Chapter 1, Introduction to .NET MAUI, for more details on how to set up your environment. To build an iOS app using Visual Studio for Windows, you must have a Mac connected. If you don’t have access to a Mac at all, you can just complete the Android part of this project.

Important information for Windows users
At the time of writing, there was no Map
control for the Windows platform in .NET MAUI. This is due to the lack of a Map
control in the underlying WinUI platform. For the latest information on Map
support in Windows, visit the Map
documentation at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/maui/user-interface/controls/map.
