How do you run basic animations in MAUI?

Intermediate

Answer

Use the ViewExtensions async animation methods—FadeTo, TranslateTo, ScaleTo, RotateTo, ColorTo—which return Tasks you can await or combine with Task.WhenAll. Specify duration and an Easing function. Cancel with this.AbortAnimation when needed.
await Task.WhenAll(
    logo.FadeTo(1, 500),
    logo.ScaleTo(1.2, 500, Easing.CubicOut));
Real-world example A splash logo fades in while scaling up slightly, using two awaited animations run together.
