As part of our .NET unification, Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Android will become part of .NET 6 as .NET for iOS and .NET for Android. Because these bindings are projections of the SDKs shipped from Apple and Google, nothing changes there, however build tooling, target framework monikers, and runtime framework monikers will be updated to match all other .NET 6 workloads. Our commitment to keeping .NET developers up-to-date with the latest mobile SDKs is foundational to .NET MAUI and remains firm. When .NET 6 ships, we expect to ship a final release of Xamarin SDKs in their current form that will be serviced for a year. All modern work will at that time shift to .NET 6. 

• Separated the existing "Restore Packages" option in the Command Palette into two distinct functions:

  • "Restore Project" - Displays a drop-down that shows all the available projects in the solution or in the workspace. Selecting one of them would trigger a dotnet restore for the particular project.
  • "Restore All Projects" - Triggers a dotnet restore for all projects in the current solution or workspace.
