GitHub - jfversluis/Plugin.Maui.Exif: Plugin.Maui.Exif provides the ability to read EXIF metadata from image files in your .NET MAUI application. Plugin.Maui.Exif provides the ability to read EXIF metadata from image files in your .NET MAUI application. - jfversluis/Plugin.Maui.Exif

I just published a new plugin to read EXIF information from images in your .NET MAUI app!

Just one line of code and you get a ton of useful information to work with. What do you think? What should I add next?

LTS for .NET MAUI is a Lie! | Norman Mackay Sticking with .NET8 MAUI because it has long term support ? watch this video. https://lnkd.in/eUhpm74q

And again, I was speaking to a company today and this very conversation came up, I did explain it doesn't matter for MAUI due to SDK tooling moving so quickly....

Awareness of this needs to be raised as I keep running into corporate projects sticking with .NET8 as they think it has long term support....

LTS for .NET MAUI is a Lie!
YouTube video by Gerald Versluis LTS for .NET MAUI is a Lie!

Don't even watch this video. This is only here to raise awareness that there is no LTS for .NET MAUI!

.NET 8 for .NET MAUI will go out of support in May, so go update now!

Maybe you do want some more details...? OK go watch then!

Done 4 XForms to MAUI ports so hopefully I qualify ๐Ÿ˜

I sometimes maintain a very large utilities app that's originally written in XForms (was the lead dev) that I ported to MAUI. It uses Gis FieldMaps, kept seeing your name when I was trawling the forums for solutions ๐Ÿ˜ƒ app calls into FieldMaps and gets callbacks, works nicely.

Reminder to run "dotnet nuget locals -c all" to reclaim diskspace now and then. I just got 103Gb space back

Want to stay in the loop with EVERYTHING that is going on in the .NET MAUI repo? Make sure to give @mauibot.bsky.social a follow!

And if you want to make sure the project is in fact still alive, seems like @ismauidead.net has arrived too ๐Ÿ˜‚
