How do I know what version of Maui I'm on/using. I used the Visual Studio installer and tried checking, but I can't tell if I'm on preview 3 which I originally installed or have I managed to update to GA?

Bizarre that I can't find this information from searching. :(

I found this information by using the dotnet command line tool:

dotnet workload list

The results I got looked like this:

Use `dotnet workload search` to find additional workloads to install.

dotnet has a multitude of options for installing and updating stuff too.

Yep, it's kind of curious not having this info. I found this article and it mentions

To acquire .NET MAUI RC3 on Windows, install or update Visual Studio 2022 Preview to version 17.3 Preview 1. In the installer, confirm .NET MAUI (preview) is checked under the “Mobile Development with .NET” workload.

So, I guess you need to check your VS version in order to find MAUI version too.

  • That is my conclusion also. I presume it wasn't worth giving it a version number until VS itself is no longer "Preview". Until then, its not independent of VS. – ToolmakerSteve Jun 10 '22 at 20:38
  • Okay, but how do I know if I'm on the preview version 3 or the now released GA version? And anyway how do I move to GA??? Sorry I checked Visual Studio Installer and I seem to be on 17.3.0 Preview 1.1 so does that mean I'm on GA? – gfmoore Jun 11 '22 at 13:35

    If you have installed VS 17.3.0 you must have MAUI 6.0.312. According to the next link https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/maui/get-started/first-app?pivots=devices-android. Also, check this one the release notes of this version. https://github.com/dotnet/maui/releases/tag/6.0.312. For last, this tool shows you MAUI version at the very top https://github.com/Redth/dotnet-maui-check – Ruben Ramos Jun 11 '22 at 14:45
  • :) The maui-check tool shows the environment versions but not a Maui version! It has also scared the heck out of me saying stuff in the android sdk is missing.... I hesitate to allow it to fix it for me :) I'm checking via Android Studio. – gfmoore Jun 12 '22 at 09:41
  • At the top under the logo it is showing the version of the check tool I think, not Maui. – gfmoore Jun 12 '22 at 09:49
  • Well I first checked with Android Studio and updated everything I could see and then ran the maui-check tool and allowed it to fix and got a load of failures. Man why is everything so error strewn. :sigh – gfmoore Jun 12 '22 at 10:15
