MAUI Project Manager Library

A .NET library designed to manage .NET MAUI projects programmatically. This library provides a simple and efficient way to create, build, run, and manage .NET MAUI applications across different platforms.

Features

• Create new MAUI projects
• Build existing MAUI projects
• Restore NuGet packages
• Run applications on different platforms (Windows, Android, iOS, MacCatalyst)
• Get available target platforms for the project
• Delete projects and clean up resources
• Cross-platform support (Windows and macOS)
• Event-based command execution tracking

Installation

You can install the package via NuGet:

dotnet add package MAUIProjectManagerLib

Usage

Here's a basic example of how to use the MAUI Project Manager:

var projectManager = new ProjectManager();

// Set up event handlers
projectManager.CommandStarted += (s, cmd) => Console.WriteLine($"Command started: {cmd}");
projectManager.CommandCompleted += (s, cmd) => Console.WriteLine($"Command completed: {cmd}");
projectManager.CommandErrorReceived += (s, error) => Console.WriteLine($"Error: {error}");
projectManager.CommandOutputReceived += (s, output) => Console.WriteLine(output);

// Set project directory
await projectManager.SetProjectDirectory("C:\\MyMauiProject");

// Create a new MAUI project
await projectManager.CreateAsync();

// Build the project
await projectManager.BuildAsync();

// Get available target platforms
var platforms = await projectManager.GetTargetPlatformsAsync();
foreach (var platform in platforms)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Platform: {platform.Key}, Framework: {platform.Value}");
}

// Run on specific platform
await projectManager.RunAsync("net8.0-windows10.0.19041.0");

Platform Support

The library supports managing MAUI projects for the following platforms:

• Windows
• Android
• iOS
• MacCatalyst
• Tizen (when enabled)

Requirements

• .NET 8.0 or higher
• .NET MAUI workload installed
• Required platform SDKs for the target platforms you want to build for

Error Handling

The library provides comprehensive error handling through events:

• CommandErrorReceived: Triggered when an error occurs during command execution
• CommandOutputReceived: Provides command output information
• CommandStarted: Indicates when a command starts executing
• CommandCompleted: Signals command completion
