As there is no response on this I will ask the question a different way. As MAUI is the progression of Xamarin and Xamarin currently supports Wear OS/Watch OS, will MAUI support Wear OS/Watch OS for dotnet 6 development and code sharing? |

@Clancey, I've been watching some of your videos on Maui and Comet and thought you may be able to comment on this? I'm looking to write a Android phone/Wear OS app and would like mostly the same code base. Ideally I would use MAUI with MVU/Comet and maybe some complier directives to switch UI based on Android/Wear OS. I can get a basic Maui Android app running on Wear OS Emulator so I assume the core should work and be supported. I guess I'm looking for some direction on where I should start with a Android/Phone/Wear app while future proofing my efforts. I'd be happy to run with Maui from what I have seen but I'm not sure about the Wear OS side of things. I've been doing a lot of research and am still a little lost as to where I should start. Any advice would be appreciated. |

Clarification regarding this is highly appreciated. FINALLY the smartwatch manufacturers are moving towards a unified operating system and this would make the development so much easier, if it would be possible to use the Wear OS platform right next to the Android or even iOS platform. |

It is a little bit frustrating to see no response. Tizen will be supported, as it seems and the funny thing: Samsung moves away from Tizen!!! Their newest generation of smartwatches (the Watch4) moved over to Wear OS! e:// Yes, I know, that Tizen is more than just for smartwatches. But them moving away from their own OS is something, which should be considered. |

A Clear dotnet Roadmap for wearable devices is a n absolute necessity, is MAUI going to support WearOS anytime soon? |

So update on this via Twitter. WatchOS (and I assume WearOS but not 100%) is not coming with .NET 6 and currently isn't planned for .NET 7. Via @davidortinau ,

To clarify: This should not be considered a Maui topic. Its really about the migration of Xamarin native to .Net 6, 7, etc, and what support .Net will have for IMHO, it would not be sane to expect to develop a cross-platform UI, and have it run well on watchOS. Rather, one should use whatever APIs watchOS provides. That makes this a |

Hopefully MAUI adds this in the future. :) |

Im crossing fingers for a future integration of Android Wear. We're upgrading our product base from Xamarin.Forms to MAUI and this is a hit to us as well. First, it was Samsung hit was dropping Tizen on their watches in favor for Android. Really would like to keep a singular codebase and not have to hop languages to support the watches. |

Hi, is there any change, can we develop watch application using .Net MAUI ? |

I have an application developed in Xamarin that has an extension for the Apple Watch OS, and my question is, if I update my Xamarin app to .NET MAUI, will I lose this extension? Will my Apple Watch app be removed from the library? |

I have two different projects, one for WearOS (and possible WatchOs) and one for table/phone apps I've managed to develop and publish Android App, Android WearOs App and iOS Phone iPad App. I don't have Mac, so I've used Github Actions to compile iOS versions. By adding property WKWatchKitApp to Info.plist file in WearOs project the compiler give an error ".NET MAUI Assets.xcassets : actool warning : A 1024x1024 App Store icon is required for watchOS apps". Does anyone know how to tackle this? I tried to set 1024x1024 icon as AppIcon with base size 1024,1024 but it didn't work? I know that official support is not available, but as WearOs was possible (with quite a lot of tweaking for round devices) I suspect that it could be possible also somehow f.ex generating assets by hand. |

Hi all, I've developed a wearable app on Samsungs Tizen platform and have been developing using the Tizen Wearable Web frameworks. Samsung have announced that they will be moving from Tizen Wearable to Android - Wear OS. I'm not sure where this leaves me as a Tizen developer as I understand Wear OS does not support WebView. I'm currently evaluating my options for development on Wear OS. I know there's Wear OS Xamarin... but my questions is: Would the MAUI framework ever support Wear OS/Watch OS, I understand that the "Forms" most likely won't/can't but could I develop and app using dotnet 6 and target Wear OS even if I had to write the UI using native control/libs myself over XAML. If I could then use MAUI for the mobile parts of the app this would be ideal.... and maybe target Andriod and iOS. My preference is to develop with dotnet C#. As you can probably guess from my question I'm pretty new to Wear OS, Android, MAUI and Xamarin, but not so much dotnet.
I don't fully understand how these system are targeted and their compatibility so any advice/comments would be appreciated.
