Currently mobile applications must deliver consistent performance, seamless user experiences, and robust scalability across devices and platforms. Microsoft’s Azure Mobile App, a critical tool for IT professionals and cloud administrators, underwent a significant transformation by leveraging .NET Multi-platform App UI (.NET MAUI), Microsoft’s latest cross-platform development framework.

This decision wasn’t arbitrary; it was a strategic move to future-proof the app, enhance performance, and simplify cross-platform development. If your business is considering cross-platform app development, Microsoft’s choice of .NET MAUI offers valuable insights into why this framework is the right move for your applications, too.

Why Azure mobile app matters

The Azure Mobile App empowers IT professionals and cloud administrators to monitor, manage, and act on their Azure infrastructure, anytime, anywhere. Its key capabilities include:

  • Real-time monitoring of resources like VMs, databases, and storage
  • Instant alerts and issue resolution
  • Secure access to Azure services on mobile
  • Quick deployment and management of cloud applications

With millions of Azure users depending on its reliability and performance across both Android and iOS, Microsoft needed a robust framework for future growth. That’s why they moved from Xamarin to .NET MAUI.
