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 both API and binary compatibility with WPF. Avalonia XPF replaces the low-level WPF code (MilCore) with Avalonia.

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).

Licensing

Licenses are available to purchase on a per-app basis, with no limits on distribution.

WPF for Linux

The rise of desktop Linux in scientific computing and its significant growth into embedded scenarios makes it an excellent moment to guarantee your WPF applications are Linux-compatible. Avalonia XPF is your gateway to effortlessly cater to an extensive array of Linux distributions, requiring minimal to no modifications of your code!

Avalonia XPF can bring about significant cost savings, particularly for embedded devices. Avalonia XPF enables shifting to more cost-effective ARM-based hardware, presenting a financially savvy alternative to x86-based devices. Combined with Linux's absence of OS licensing fees, it starkly contrasts the embedded Windows ecosystem, offering a compelling financial reason to adopt Avalonia XPF.

WPF for macOS

For years, developers have voiced their desire to run WPF applications on macOS. Avalonia XPF empowers developers to bring their WPF applications to the macOS platform with minimal changes required, ensuring that your WPF applications can now enjoy a wider audience.

This development marks a significant milestone, heralding a new era of versatility and accessibility for WPF developers committed to broadening the reach of their software. With Avalonia XPF, the dream of genuinely cross-platform WPF applications has become a reality.

Developer Experience

Experience a smooth transition to Avalonia XPF, designed to provide developers with a familiar development experience with WPF. Our innovative platform ensures enterprises can harness their existing investments in WPF, making it effortless to adapt and work on projects across macOS and Linux.

Embrace the power of Avalonia XPF and enjoy a hassle-free, unified WPF development experience across platforms.
