What problem does it solve?
MAUI applications often struggle with startup latency and runtime performance due to heavy UI bindings, layout complexity, and unoptimized resources. This skill provides a structured guide to diagnose and fix performance bottlenecks across profiling, binding, layout, image management, resource dictionaries, startup time, trimming, and NativeAOT configuration.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Profiling guidance: use dotnet-trace and PerfView to collect and analyze performance traces, identify bottlenecks, and measure impact of changes.
- Compiled bindings and XAML performance: enable x:DataType and compiled bindings to maximize binding speed and trimming compatibility.
- Layout and rendering optimization: reduce nested layouts, prefer Grid, and optimize measure passes to improve startup and runtime responsiveness.
- Resource and image optimization: size assets appropriately, enable caching, and manage resource dictionaries to minimize load times.
- Startup and trimming: minimize work in startup paths and enable trimming and NativeAOT where appropriate for smaller, faster apps.
Quick Start
Apply the MAUI performance guidance to your project by profiling, enabling compiled bindings, and implementing layout and startup optimizations.
