Note: you can also set the values to `$(MauiVersion)` and set a `<MauiVersion>` node with the version you want to use. See **Method 2**, below.

### How to Compile

This mode is similar to Workloads Mode but allows specifying any available NuGet version for `MauiVersion`. It requires setting `UseMaui=true`.

You will need to manually add the target frameworks to the `<TargetFrameworks>` node when you use this method. For example, running the project on iOS and Android will require:

```xml
<!-- Instead of: <TargetFrameworks>$(MauiManualTestsPlatforms)</TargetFrameworks> do the line below -->
<TargetFrameworks>net10.0-ios;net10.0-android</TargetFrameworks>
```

Depending on the .NET version you want to use, replace `net10.0` prefix with the version you want to use, for example: `net9.0`.

#### Method 1: Using MSBuild Property
```bash
dotnet build -p:UseMaui=true -p:MauiVersion=8.0.0-nightly.8832+sha.feb791fc7-azdo.8163102
