Continuing our series of articles aimed at empowering developers with comprehensive knowledge to build robust mobile applications, we’re shifting our focus to .NET MAUI (Multi-platform App UI). In this installment, we'll explore how to integrate SQLite database into your .NET MAUI app, leveraging Visual Studio connected to a Mac device for compiling the code specifically for iOS devices.
SQLite remains a versatile choice for local data storage, offering a lightweight, efficient, and transactional SQL database engine. Its compatibility with .NET MAUI makes it an excellent option for incorporating data persistence capabilities into your cross-platform applications.Getting StartedBefore we dive into the implementation process, ensure you have Visual Studio installed on your development machine, along with a basic understanding of C# programming language and .NET MAUI concepts.
Integrating SQLite database into your .NET MAUI app provides a robust solution for local data storage and management. By following the steps outlined in this article, you can leverage the power of SQLite to enhance the functionality and user experience of your cross-platform applications.
