Hi

Can i target only one platform in .NET MAUI Blazor Hybrid.?

I know that MAUI is for multiple platforms, but at the moment I am not focusing on android or others, only Windows, to publish in Microsoft Store. All i want is to take advantage of Blazor style of coding.

I tried to modify

But then I found that "Publish" option disappears.

Any guidance. ?

Sure you can target whatever platforms are supported by MAUI. Note that by default the project file breaks up Windows from everything else.

<TargetFrameworks>net8.0-android;net8.0-ios;net8.0-maccatalyst</TargetFrameworks>
<TargetFrameworks Condition="$([MSBuild]::IsOSPlatform('windows'))">$(TargetFrameworks);net8.0-windows10.0.19041.0</TargetFrameworks>

What this says is build for Android, iOS and MacCataylst. If running on a Windows machine then also include Windows. If you want to disable non-Windows for now then comment out the first TargetFrameworks values. Then it'll just target Windows, assuming you're building on Windows.

<!--<TargetFrameworks>net8.0-android;net8.0-ios;net8.0-maccatalyst</TargetFrameworks>-->
<TargetFrameworks Condition="$([MSBuild]::IsOSPlatform('windows'))">$(TargetFrameworks);net8.0-windows10.0.19041.0</TargetFrameworks>

Once you save your changes you'll need to reload the project because VS doesn't like it when you make a change like this. Once reloaded you can build and the option to publish should still be available on the context menu.
