NET MAUI Mobile App Analytics Tool - Transition from Xamarin

The evolution from Xamarin to .NET MAUI

First things first, let's talk about this transition.

Xamarin has served us well, providing a unified approach to building iOS and Android apps using .NET and C#. However, the technology landscape is always evolving, and with this, Xamarin is evolving into .NET MAUI.

.NET MAUI, or .NET Multi-platform App UI, is the new framework for building versatile native applications with .NET. It extends the Xamarin.Forms toolkit, providing a single stack that supports all modern workloads, including Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows.

What this means for you as a Xamarin developer is a shift towards a more streamlined framework, one that reduces the complexity of targeting multiple platforms.

Mobile app analytics tool for .NET MAUI - UXCam

Now, let's turn to UXCam. You've probably used UXCam's lightweight Xamarin SDK in your applications for a comprehensive understanding of user behavior within your mobile app. UXCam is a powerful tool for mobile app analytics, capturing user interactions and providing data-driven insights that can drive improvements in your app's design and functionality.

So, you might be wondering, "What happens to UXCam with this Xamarin to .NET MAUI transition?"

The good news is UXCam hasn't just kept pace with this evolution; it has gone a step further. UXCam has ported its Xamarin library to the MAUI (.NET) platform, ensuring that you can continue to leverage its robust analytics capabilities as you migrate your apps to .NET MAUI.

UXCam compatibility with .NET MAUI

UXCam's updated library isn't just compatible with .NET MAUI; it supports the MAUI 1.0.0-beta. That means you can start using UXCam in your MAUI-based applications immediately, even in the beta phase.

With UXCam's MAUI-compatible library, you can continue to monitor user interactions, analyze screen visits, track events, and understand user journeys within your app. All the features you loved about UXCam's Xamarin library are available in their MAUI library, ensuring a seamless transition for your analytics needs.

Benefits of UXCam’s mobile analytics for .NET MAUI apps

UXCam offers a range of features that make it a top choice for mobile app analytics for .NET MAUI apps. Here are some of the key benefits: 

Autocapture

Think about how much time you can save when you can automatically track all user interactions with a single snippet of code. That's the power of UXCam's autocapture feature. It reduces reliance on manual event instrumentation to uncover more user issues by capturing a wealth of data​.

From the moment of installation, UXCam starts tracking how users interact with your app, showing you the screens they visit and the journey they take. It even automatically detects user frustrations like rage taps and unresponsive gestures​.

Lightweight mobile SDK

UXCam's SDK is trusted by engineers and used by over 37,000 apps globally. It's recognized among the top 80 SDKs worldwide and has been tried and tested by the developer community​​. Google has even acknowledged the SDK for its reliability and performance by listing it in their Google Play SDK Index​.

The installation is straightforward and once completed, your dashboard will be filled with user behavior and device data ready for analysis​​. Despite its powerful capabilities, the SDK is lightweight and has no impact on your app's performance​.

Security and privacy

UXCam prioritizes your user’s privacy. With a dedicated security team ensuring the safety of over 37,000 apps using their SDK​, the team continually updates privacy features and complies with all GDPR requirements Additionally, UXCam has a unique screen blurring capability, the Blur API, which allows you to hide sensitive information. This feature ensures the protection of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) data without losing visibility over your user's experience and interactions. You can modify the blur radius to customize the strength of coverage.

Session replay

With UXCam, you can record user sessions with zero instrumentation. This means you can replay and analyze session recordings to understand the real reasons behind your users' actions.

By applying advanced filters, you can segment session recordings by unique mobile events like crashes, rage taps, and UI freezes. This can help you focus on the sessions that cause negative reviews and churn, thereby improving the overall user experience​.

Crash analytics

UXCam's crash analytics feature provides detailed insights into crashes, allowing you to understand the circumstances leading to crashes. Used in combination with session recordings, this feature helps you to identify and fix issues quickly, improving the stability of your app and enhancing user satisfaction.

Conversion funnels

Funnels in UXCam help you visualize and understand the journey of users in your app. This feature allows you to easily identify where users drop off, helping you to address these points and retain more users.

Understanding where users drop off gives you insights into areas in your app that could be improved or simplified to provide a smoother user experience and ultimately retain more users.
