Create your application

Open Visual Studio, or your preferred IDE, and create a new .NET MAUI application. Give it a cool name, or a terrible one if you prefer.

Build and run, just for peace of mind.

Now we're going to remove the Shell navigation and use MvvmZero

Use the Package Manager (right-click on your project in the Solution Explorer) and add the latest FunctionZero.Maui.MvvmZero. Make sure you don't select the Xamarin Forms Version!

Adding FunctionZero.Maui.MvvmZero

Remove AppShell.xaml and AppShell.xaml.cs, as well as MainPage.xaml and MainPage.xaml.cs

In App.xaml.cs, replace your constructor with this:

public App()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    MainPage = new ContentPage { Content = new Label { Text = "Temporary ContentPage" } };
}

Build and run. You should see a page with the corresponding Label.

We're now going to prepare some Pages and ViewModels
