Console apps are cross platform.
Net 6 apps can use native OSX and IOS UIKit on mac, iphone. You can use WinForms on windows, and for Linux, you need to use Xamarin forms this would be 3 different apps.
The cross platform UI is Maui.
from your explanation i understand that console app will run on multiple OS but i like to know winform can run on Linux and Mac OS if i develop winform .net core 6 project on windows pc ?
if i need to run winforn based project using .net core 6 on Linux and Mac OS then what i need to do......please guide me step wise. thanks
A Winforms app is dependent on the windows api and will not run on a different O/S.
If you want a cross platform. gui app based on .net 6, you must recode your application with the MAUI ui. Maui is xmal based and much closer to Windows Presentation Foundation than winforms,

Console yes but not Windows Forms.
if possible then please share few relevant links which guide me how to configure project which to run on Mac OS or Linux. from where to download runtime for Mac OS or Linux ?
