WPF is Windows only, so you cannot run it on a Mac.

Do you want to debug WPF application in VS for Mac? Or do you want to make your MAUI application run in the Mac?
What is the expected behavior and how does that differ from the actual behavior?

Bruce (SqlWork.com) 64,161 Reputation points2023-09-10T19:22:32.5666667+00:00 To run a WPF app on a Mac, you need a Windows virtualization app. Typically Parallels or VMWare. Install the app in the vm and create an alias on the Mac side. Then your Maui app can start it via the alias.
note: if M1/2 then the vm will be windows arm, and the WPF app must support running on windows arm.
