Fix & Upgrade .NET 7 Game App with Xamarin, MAUI & Laravel
Project Description:
I have a cross-platform game app built with .NET 7, using Xamarin, MAUI, and a Laravel backend. It used to work, but now fails to build or run—likely due to .NET 7 being outdated and possible dependency or tooling issues.
I'm seeking an experienced developer to diagnose the issue, resolve it, and upgrade the app to .NET 8 (LTS) and potentially .NET 10 once it becomes available. The project may also involve migrating from Xamarin to MAUI and ensuring full compatibility with the Laravel backend.

Tech Stack:
.NET 7 (needs upgrade to .NET 8)


Xamarin (may need removal or migration)


.NET MAUI


Laravel (PHP backend)

Key Goals:
Identify and fix build/runtime errors.


Upgrade the app to .NET 8 LTS.


Refactor or replace legacy Xamarin code with MAUI equivalents.


Ensure the Laravel backend is compatible and functional.


Update SDKs, NuGet packages, and the development environment.

Deliverables:
Fully working, updated app running on .NET 8


Clean build pipeline (local and/or CI)


Backend tested and confirmed working


Dev environment setup instructions (README or brief doc)


Summary of changes/refactors

Ideal Freelancer:
Strong experience with .NET MAUI & Xamarin


Comfortable upgrading .NET versions (7 → 8)


Familiar with Laravel integration in hybrid app environments


Able to troubleshoot SDK/toolchain issues


Good communicator with clean code practices

If everything goes well and works correctly, we would like to retain the same individuals or group for when it's time to make the move to .NET 10.
