  Hi,

  Could you check this document https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/maui/get-started/installation?view=net-maui-7.0&tabs=vswin to see if you have anything missing for running the MAUI app ? This can be caused by a missing workload installation or old version of Visual Studio.

  Thanks,

  Any resolution to this? I am running Visual Studio 2022 17.5.1 with all workloads according the the article and I am still getting these 2 errors.

  I also have tested the .NET Maui "Hello World" app and it works fine.

  How does this support forum work? My company paid for ASP.NET Zero and we are supposed to get a year of support. I am still wrestling with this issue. Can someone please provide assistance?

  The MAUI project only includes iOS and Android platforms.

  You get the error "Program does not contain a static 'Main' method suitable for an entry point" if you are trying to run it under Windows.

  

  It will work on Windows, if you target Android.

  Thank you very much @edarib!

  For anyone who wonders what to do:

  • Right-click project YourProjectName.Mobile.MAUI.

  • Click on Properties.

  • There under Application -> Android Targets click the checkbox Target the Android platform.

  You may need to clean your solution and rebuild it. If cleaning fails just restart Visual Studio and try again.

  I hope this helps!
