Description

### Android framework version

Other

### Affected platform version

ALL

### Description

In the recent days Android has been declared Compose-first and therefore the old Views approach is being deprecated (maintenance mode, but read between lines...). As far as I know both .NET Android and MAUI are built upon Views system and has never been compatible with Jetpack Compose way of building screens.

What is the future of these technologies? Has Microsoft decided something regarding the future of develpment in C# or at some point whenever Google decides to fully remove these old APIs we will be left abandoned?

Please let us know the future ahead! Thanks!
