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.

Developing apps on Windows

Operating systems

  • Windows 11 version 23H2 (build 22631) or higher
  • Windows Server 2025 Standard and Datacenter
  • Windows Server 2022 Standard and Datacenter

Processor architectures

  • x64
  • ARM64

Graphics

On Windows, ArcGIS Maps SDK for .NET uses DirectX to provide high-performance rendering of maps and scenes.

To support high-performance analysis

  • Direct3D 12 with feature level 11.1 (or feature level 11.0 with Resource Binding Tier 2).
  • Shader models 5.1 and above.

Developing apps on macOS

Operating systems

  • macOS 26 (Tahoe)

.NET MAUI development requirements

Development environments

  • Visual Studio 2026 18.0 or higher (minimum version with support for .NET 9) with the .NET MAUI workload.
  • Visual Studio 2022 17.14 or higher (minimum version with support for .NET 9) with the .NET MAUI workload.
  • Visual Studio Code with the .NET Multi-platform App UI (MAUI) extension and the .NET MAUI workload.

.NET SDKs and frameworks

  • .NET 9 or higher is required for developing .NET MAUI applications.

Emulators/simulators

  • Android: Android Emulator

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.
