Which kind of application that you want to install?

When you install the application, will you get some error?

Open your visual studio installer, choose the Modify, select the Individual components, please check if you have selected the .NET 8.0 Runtime. If I install the MAUI workload in the Visual studio installer. .NET 8.0 Runtime will be installed by default. No need to install it again.

I want to intall maui app with require net 8 runtime.

Do you want to install release maui application? Which type of the release application, such as .MSIX or unpackaged .NET MAUI app?

Do you download the .NET runtime from this runtime-8.0.8-windows-x64-installer?

all .net core runtimes install side by side. your project file file specifies the runtime to use. so installing .net 8 should not be an issue.

not sure why you use such an old version of visual studio, but I believe it supports .net 8, but not Maui 8.

The Maui 8 workload install should install .net 8, but it is safe to install .net sdk first. while sdk installs are stable, there have been issues with workload installs due to the number of dependencies. at this point I believe Maui 8 and aspire are stable.

note: Maui 7 is no longer supported. Don't believe you can sign IOS code with it.

% dotnet workload list

will list the the installed workloads and sdk versions. in the project file the <TargetFrameworks> specifies the sdk versions the project supports (ex: net8.0-ios;net8.0-maccatalyst).

note: this fall IOS 18 will be released. This will require Xcode 16 to sign. This will require a new Maui release with new workload with Xcode 16 support (probably maui 9). Sometime next year, Apple will not support signing IOS 17 apps. This will probably happen after Maui 8 end of life (May next year), so Maui 8 will not need to support IOS 18 (and Xcode 16).
