.NET MAUI Progressing From a Default Project Part 7 - Deploying, the Other People's Links Edition

The Series
Level: Moderate
This series assumes the developer is familiar with .NET MAUI, the Model-View-ViewModel pattern, and has worked through one or more tutorials such as the excellent James Montemagno's Workshop.

Checking My Ego
I kind of promised this part in the series, where I was going to take my progressively modified default app and show deploying it. But you know what? Other people have already covered this. So, here are their links and I don't think I have anything to add or clarify. Read them. They'll point you the right way.
- Getting Started with DevOps and .NET MAUI - .NET Blog
- Setting up CI for your .NET MAUI Windows app in Azure DevOps - Andreas Nesheim
- Create a .NET MAUI Windows MSIX to Sideload Or Publish to the Microsoft Store - YouTube
I may still write a future post showing .NET MAUI CI/CD in Azure DevOps Pipelines. That would be interesting because it would ideally cover:
- The local build and package script
- Remote (integrated) build
- Package once, deploy to many environments
- How to manage testing versions before publishing to the platform stores
The thing is, I haven't done this with .NET MAUI, and I have some other topics I'm more interested in right now. But I'll eventually learn and write about it when I--hopefully--publish my first .NET MAUI application!
Wrap Up
This series has used the out-of-the-box .NET MAUI project template as a starting point for learning many key concepts and techniques. Some apply only to .NET MAUI, while most apply to general enterprise development.
I hope it's been helpful. You rock!
