I recently installed Visual Studio 2022 (version 17.8.2) and opted for the .NET 6 framework during installation. While attempting to create an ASP.NET Core project, I was able to select .NET 6 successfully. However, I encountered an issue when trying to create a .NET MAUI project as .NET 6 doesn't seem to be available.

Hello,

.NET MAUI 6 is no longer supported.

Please create a MAUI project based on the .NET7 or .NET 8.

If you want to know more details about MAUI support policy, you can refer to this .NET Multi-platform App UI (.NET MAUI) Support Policy.

Best Regards,

Thanks for letting me know about the change in .NET MAUI support.

I've created my MAUI project using .NET 6 in Visual Studio Version 17.7.6. Now that .NET MAUI 6 is no longer supported, I'd like to understand how to move my project to .NET 7 or .NET 8. Could you please share some steps or resources to help me with this migration?

Also, after the update, I lost support for .NET 6. Is there a way to go back to my previous version of Visual Studio (Version 17.7.6) to regain .NET 6 support?

I appreciate your help with this.

Yes, here is a wiki about Upgrading .NET MAUI from .NET 7 to .NET 8, you can use it when upgrade from .NET 6 to .NET 8.

Do you want to still use VS 17.7.6? If so, you can get previous VS version by this fixed-version-bootstrappers document
