Before diving into the first recipe, you’ll need to set up your development environment. This includes installing Visual Studio and the .NET MAUI workloads and setting up an emulator or a device for debugging. If you’re working with iOS, you’ll also need a Mac, Xcode, and a paid Apple Developer account. For more details, check out the official .NET MAUI documentation at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/maui/get-started/installation?view=net-maui-8.0&tabs=vswin.

If you are using the digital version of this book, we advise you to type the code yourself or access the code via the GitHub repository (link available in the next section). Doing so will help you avoid any potential errors related to the copying and pasting of code.
