Hello. As I know, Xamarin.Froms does not use a separated complied xaml file like *.baml.

Instead, It just compile xaml to IL code and inject such IL codes into app's exe/dll.

I wonder why Xamarin.Froms does not support such kinda of feature to load a separated complied xaml?

Because.. I think it would be uncomfortable for the app to build their project whenever changing the xaml file.

Is there any historical reason ? or other things.

I also wonder MS has a plan to support similar feature in Xamarin.Forms in the near future.

Thanks,

Best Regards

    I do not know the answer to Xamarin.Forms supporting *.baml. I did want to let you know that Xamarin forms is evolving into to Maui. The first release of Maui is due in Nov 2021. It will be a multi-platform app UI framework. You can read more about it here
