How It Works
WPF Compatibility
We enable WPF apps to run on macOS and Linux with our Fork of WPF, which allows us to maintain API compatibility. Avalonia XPF replaces the low-level WPF code (MilCore) with Avalonia UI.
3rd Party Controls
Avalonia XPF supports a broad range of UI controls from the most popular control vendors. Where controls aren't compatible, we provide a range of options, including substitution.
Supported Platforms
Avalonia XPF currently supports Windows, macOS and Linux (desktop and embedded). WebAssembly, iOS and Android support is coming in 2024.
Licensing
Licenses are available to purchase on a per-app, per-platform basis, with no limits on distribution. We also offer bespoke license agreements for more complex scenarios.
