There is a known issue, please install the template manually:

dotnet new -i Microsoft.Maui.Templates

It's now recommended to create .NET Maui apps with Visual Studio according to their current documentation.

Older suggestion:

I'd recommend using the check tool provided. This will install the templates for you and make sure everything else is present to develop using Maui.

Install: dotnet tool install -g redth.net.maui.check

Run: maui-check --dev

This will check for:

OpenJdk / AndroidSDK
.NET 6 Preview SDK
.NET MAUI / iOS / Android workloads and packs
.NET MAUI Templates
Workload Resolver .sentinel files for dotnet and Visual Studio Windows/Mac
Currently does not install workloads required for WinUI3

in the linked github page there's no **check tool** (i thought it is some binary?). – Lei Yang Nov 18 '21 at 13:35
@LeiYang - Looks like it moved, and I fixed the link but let me update the answer with the official documents. – Jimenemex Nov 19 '21 at 03:59

This should help you out:

Take a look at the section "Using IDEs":

Using IDEs

IDE integration into Visual Studio, Visual Studio for Mac, and Visual Studio Code are a work in progress.

Visual Studio

Currently, you can use Visual Studio 2019 16.9 on Windows (with the Xamarin workload) with a few manual steps to run iOS & Android apps built on .NET 6.

For Visual Studio integration you need at least 16.11 preview 1. Use the maui-check tool to install/upgrade the prerequisites on your system. The tool is constantly updated to ensure that the latest MAUI capabilities are installed. Every time a new preview comes out (approximately monthly), rerun maui-check.
