.NET MAUI provides a single framework for building the UIs for mobile and desktop applications.\
You create the UI using this framework (indicated by arrow 1), and \
.NET MAUI takes care of converting it to the appropriate platform (indicated by arrow 2). \
In situations when you need to implement a platform-specific feature, you can invoke methods in the platform-specific framework (indicated by arrow 3).
