Avalonia.Controls.Maui

Avalonia.Controls.Maui replaces .NET MAUI's native platform controls with Avalonia-drawn controls. This enables MAUI apps to run on platforms that MAUI doesn't natively support, such as Linux and WASM, as well as platforms Avalonia supports, such as macOS AppKit. All while maintaining a consistent look across all platforms.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

  • .NET 11 SDK
  • A .NET MAUI workload installed (dotnet workload install maui)
  • If using WASM, install wasm-tools (dotnet workload install wasm-tools)

Quick Start

The fastest way to get started is with a MAUI single-project app using the Avalonia.Controls.Maui.Desktop package.

For other cases, refer to our docs.

1. Include the standard TFM and NuGet packages to your .csproj:

<PropertyGroup>
    
    <TargetFrameworks>net11.0;net11.0-android;net11.0-ios;net11.0-maccatalyst</TargetFrameworks>
    <TargetFrameworks Condition="$([MSBuild]::IsOSPlatform('windows'))">
        $(TargetFrameworks);net11.0-windows10.0.19041.0</TargetFrameworks>
    <OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
    <UseMaui>true</UseMaui>
    <SingleProject>true</SingleProject>
</PropertyGroup>

<ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Maui.Controls" Version="$(MauiVersion)" />
    <PackageReference Include="Avalonia.Controls.Maui" Version="..." />
    
    <PackageReference Include="Avalonia.Controls.Maui.Desktop"
                      Condition="'$(TargetFramework)' == 'net11.0'" Version="..." />
</ItemGroup>

If you include the Avalonia.Controls.Maui.Desktop package, it will automatically create the Avalonia bootstrap code through its source generator. No manual Avalonia Program.cs or AppBuilder setup is needed for desktop.

2. Call UseAvaloniaApp() in your MauiProgram.cs:

public static class MauiProgram
{
    public static MauiApp CreateMauiApp()
    {
        var builder = MauiApp.CreateBuilder();
        builder
            .UseMauiApp<App>()
// `UseAvaloniaApp()` replaces all MAUI controls with Avalonia-drawn equivalents.
#if !IOS && !MACCATALYST && !ANDROID && !WINDOWS
            .UseAvaloniaApp()
#else
// `UseAvaloniaEmbedding<AvaloniaApp>()` lets you embed Avalonia views inside the native MAUI shell.
            .UseAvaloniaEmbedding<AvaloniaApp>()
#endif
            .ConfigureFonts(fonts =>
            {
                fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Regular.ttf", "OpenSansRegular");
                fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Semibold.ttf", "OpenSansSemibold");
            });

        return builder.Build();
    }
}

That's it — run with dotnet run and your MAUI app renders with Avalonia.

WASM / Browser

Because the WASM target framework requires a different SDK, we can't reference it inside of the .NET MAUI Single Project application. Instead, we can create a separate browser project that references your MAUI library.

1. Create a browser .csproj:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.WebAssembly">
    <PropertyGroup>
        <TargetFramework>net11.0-browser</TargetFramework>
        <OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
        <UseMaui>true</UseMaui>
    </PropertyGroup>

    <ItemGroup>
        <PackageReference Include="Avalonia.Controls.Maui" Version="..." />
        <PackageReference Include="Avalonia.Browser" Version="..." />
        <PackageReference Include="Avalonia.Themes.Fluent" Version="..." />
        <PackageReference Include="Avalonia.Fonts.Inter" Version="..." />
        <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Maui.Controls" Version="$(MauiVersion)" />
    </ItemGroup>

    <ItemGroup>
        <ProjectReference Include="../YourMauiApp/YourMauiApp.csproj" />
    </ItemGroup>
</Project>

Your MAUI code can live in a class library referenced by both the single-project app and the browser project. Alternatively, you can keep a single-project app and disable OutputType Exe for the net11.0-browser TFM.

2. Add a MauiProgram.cs with useSingleViewLifetime: true:

public static class MauiProgram
{
    public static MauiApp CreateMauiApp()
    {
        var builder = MauiApp.CreateBuilder();
        builder
            .UseMauiApp<MauiAppStub>()
// Hint: useSingleViewLifetime also applies to Mobile platforms, like iOS/Android, and Mac Catalyst.
#if BROWSER
            .UseAvaloniaApp(useSingleViewLifetime: true)
#endif
            .ConfigureFonts(fonts =>
            {
                fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Regular.ttf", "OpenSansRegular");
                ...
            });

        return builder.Build();
    }
}

Browser apps use useSingleViewLifetime: true since WebAssembly runs in a single-view context.
