Represents a .NET MAUI project resource in the distributed application model.

## Definition

```csharp
namespace Aspire.Hosting.Maui;

public class MauiProjectResource
    : Aspire.Hosting.ApplicationModel.Resource
{
    // ...
}
```

## Remarks

This resource serves as a parent for platform-specific MAUI resources (Windows, Android, iOS, macOS). Use extension methods like `AddWindowsDevice` or `AddMacCatalystDevice` to add platform-specific instances.

MAUI projects are built on-demand when the platform-specific resource is started, avoiding long AppHost startup times while still allowing incremental builds during development.
