.NET MAUI went GA last week 🎉 with the release of Visual Studio 2022 17.3 Preview 1.1 on Windows. Unfortunately updating to this version of Visual Studio breaks development of Xamarin apps for iOS because by default it uninstalls the Xamarin SDKs! 🙈 Fortunately I have a quick fix so you can continue to develop Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Forms apps alongside your .NET MAUI apps with Visual Studio 2022 17.3 Preview 1.1. 😁
