Is it possible to publish a .NET Maui app to Apple AppStore and Google Play or do we need to wait till .NET Maui is finalized?

As already pointed out in the comments, you absolutely can, while it's not officially recommended for obvious reasons. However, I do know of .NET MAUI apps that are already in the store today.

Technically it is definitely possible, mostly because at that level a .NET MAUI app isn't much different from a Xamarin.Forms or even regular iOS or Android app. It's still a .ipa or .aab file that needs to be produced.

I have been looking into the process of creating something distributable. You can find my writeups here for Android, iOS and from those you can find the links on there for Windows and macOS if that is what you need.

Additionally I made videos about them which you can find here for Android and for iOS and lastly the one for Windows. The one for macOS is not there yet at the time of writing.

Ideally we want to make it all work through dotnet publish at some point in the future, but we're not quite there yet. Same story for a UI for doing this within Visual Studio.
