.NET Android =============== .NET Android provides open-source bindings of the Android SDK and tooling for use with .NET managed languages such as C#. This ships as an optional [.NET workload][net-workload] for .NET 6+ that can be updated independently from .NET in order to respond to external dependency updates like new Android platform and tooling. While .NET Android is an essential part of [MAUI][maui-intro], it is still fully supported to be used independently for native Android development using .NET. This repository is also home to the classic Xamarin.Android product.

Support for classic Xamarin.Android will end on **May 1, 2024** as per the [Xamarin Support Policy][xamarin-support-policy]: > Xamarin support will end on May 1, 2024 for all classic Xamarin SDKs. Android 13 will be the final version classic Xamarin.Android will target.
