[Divergence] .NET SDK deprecates PowerSync.Maui, folds MAUI support into PowerSync.Common (powersync-dotnet #94) #659

What's changing: The .NET SDK deprecates the separate PowerSync.Maui NuGet package. PowerSync.Common now bundles and loads the native SQLite core extension on Android, iOS, and Mac Catalyst directly, replacing what PowerSync.Maui provided. The PowerSync.Maui.SQLite.MAUISQLiteDBOpenFactory and MAUISQLiteAdapter classes are removed; their replacements, PowerSync.Common.MDSQLite.MDSQLiteDBOpenFactory and MDSQLiteAdapter, now live in PowerSync.Common. MAUI apps no longer need to install PowerSync.Maui at all. This merged into the dotnet-10 branch (22 commits ahead of main, not yet merged to main or released) alongside other .NET 10 support work, so it hasn't shipped yet.

High priority — existing docs are now inaccurate or incomplete

• .NET SDK Reference (https://docs.powersync.com/client-sdks/reference/dotnet): the "Supported Frameworks and Targets" list's MAUI bullet, the "Instantiate the PowerSync Database" step's separate Common/MAUI tabs (the MAUI tab imports PowerSync.Maui.SQLite and calls MAUISQLiteDBOpenFactory), and the "Upgrading the SDK" section's MAUI tab (which runs dotnet add package PowerSync.Maui) all describe a separate MAUI package and API that no longer exist once this ships.
• Get Started (https://docs.powersync.com/intro/setup-guide): via the shared installation and database-instantiation snippets, the MAUI tab tells readers to add the PowerSync.Maui NuGet package and shows the same removed MAUISQLiteDBOpenFactory usage.
• Supported Platforms (https://docs.powersync.com/resources/supported-platforms): the .NET table's "MAUI for Mac Catalyst" row note, "Added in PowerSync.Maui 0.1.2," references the now-deprecated package.
