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. 

Essentially, a bot is an application that can automate repetitive tasks or serve information to a user and, more and more, can interact with a user using natural language. As these bots get more intelligent and better at understanding us, this is providing a wide spectrum of use cases for bots to be used by and assist almost everyone. 

There are some really awesome new features—RTL!—that have been added in this release, and they’ve come with some important changes. 

So when Microsoft acquired Xamarin in 2016 and started integrating the Xamarin Visual Studio plugins more with the standard VS features, I knew I had to try and switch over to take advantage of the powerful IDE and language. Some of the immediate benefits I gained from the switch are:

• Simple asynchronous programming
• Access to powerful plugins like ReSharper
• Freedom to work in Windows or OSX
• Access to powerful debugging tools for the Android on Windows (debugging iOS on Mac side is good but can be buggy).
• Access to built in NuGet package management for third party libraries 

In this section we'll create a Blazor application to demonstrate the different lifetimes of the various dependency injection scopes.
