How can I add Microsoft EF Core to a .Net Maui solution?

Question

What is the proper way to add Entity Framework Core to a .Net Maui solution?

I did try to use .Net console project, but that didn't seem to work.

I also tried to use a .Net Maui class project but that also didn't work.

Sorry if it is a pretty basic question,

Bob

Hello,

Please try adding Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Sqlite in your MAUI project, then access SQLite, refer to the Xamarin tutorial- Getting Started with EF Core and Xamarin - EF Core | Microsoft Learn

MAUI is the evolution of Xamarin.Forms, and the doc also applies to MAUI.
