This page lists system requirements for the 300.0 release of ArcGIS Maps SDK for .NET, which contains APIs to develop apps for Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), Windows UI Library (WinUI) 3, and .NET MAUI. Each API has specific system requirements for your development machine as well as for the machines and devices to which you deploy your app. The framework, platform, or operating system version and updates listed below are supported as long as it is also currently supported by its provider for general or public use.
Development requirements
Develop apps with ArcGIS Maps SDK for .NET on Windows using Visual Studio to create WPF, WinUI, and .NET MAUI apps. On macOS, you can target Android, iOS, and macOS platforms using Visual Studio Code with the .NET MAUI extension.

Graphics
ArcGIS Maps SDK for .NET uses OpenGL ES technology on Android to render 2D map views and 3D scene views. Rendering in a map view uses OpenGL ES 3.0 or above if available on the device. Otherwise, it uses OpenGL ES 2.0 or above. Rendering in SceneView or LocalSceneView requires OpenGL ES 3.2. High-performance analysis APIs require Vulkan 1.1.
