.NET MAUI UI Testing Strategy

[PureWeen]

Summary

As a developer I can run tests against my application that exercise the UI as an end user and validate the results.

Tasks

• Setup Appium based project in order to validate Appium based UI Test Strategy #11232
• Fix Legacy Control Gallery so it's an equally runnable state that it was for Xamarin.Forms #11235
• UITests/DeviceTests TODOS  #15113

We've moved this issue to the Backlog milestone. This means that it is not going to be worked on for the coming release. We will reassess the backlog following the current release and consider this item at that time. To learn more about our issue management process and to have better expectation regarding different types of issues you can read our Triage Process.

@davidortinau, how likely is this to make into MAUI .NET 8? I see it's P1, does that mean absolutely-won't-ship-without-it?
I'm trying to evaluate options here for cross-platform development.

So... likely?

Edit: #14488, #15191

With EoL on Xamarin approaching at breakneck speeds we still have no viable option for testing applications in MAUI, or even hope on the horizon. Would love to know the answer to this. @davidortinau
