### Description

[Android-MDC under Maintenance mode](https://github.com/material-components/material-components-android)

As you might have read/heard. Android-MDC is now in Maintenance mode which means, no more features will be developed for View based apps.
Google goes "all-in" with Android Compose.

I'm not sure how far .NET MAUI is in using Compose or if it has been using Compose at all.
Android-MDC is not deprecated or killed just fyi, it will just not be maintained anymore.

My request is, if .NET MAUI has not been using Compose in some way. Will it be possible to be able to switch to Android Compose under the hood for on or about .NET 12?

If a discussion is a better place to talk about this. Please close this one and open a discussion about this topic.

### Public API Changes

/

### Intended Use-Case

There are no more planned feature releases for Views, so all projects using the Views library should begin or continue migrating to Compose to get the latest Material Design and Android platform updates.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing the .NET MAUI Android integration and how it currently uses Android-MDC, then determine whether switching to Android Compose is feasible; done would require a confirmed direction and defined implementation scope.
