[Enhancement] Sample Xamarin/MAUI application for Xappium testing

[ThinhTranA]

Summary

I find it really useful to have app package (*.apk & *.ipa) readily available to download when start to learn writing UI test or a demo.

I've had some success using Xappium for the following sample guinea pig apps. I think it would be nice if we have sample app written in Xamarin/MAUI

Could you share your experimentations?

I am am about to get the opportunity to greenfield a MAUI app from a large existing Xamarin Forms app and would like to see some more Xappium examples.

@adamhill
I have written a blog post for this

@ThinhTranA if you'd like to help out I'd love to take some PR's on some updated samples and help with the docs :)

[dansiegel]

also @ThinhTranA was just noticing on your blog you should update the following snippet...

<ItemGroup>
  <None Remove="uitest.json" />
  <EmbeddedResource Include="uitest.json">
  <CopyToOutputDirectory>PreserveNewest</CopyToOutputDirectory>
  </EmbeddedResource>
</ItemGroup>

By default Xappium will look for the uitest.json in the directory of the test project, and it will fall back to looking for an embedded resource. So you either want:

<ItemGroup>
  <None Include="uitest.json">
    <CopyToOutputDirectory>PreserveNewest</CopyToOutputDirectory>
  </None>
</ItemGroup>

Or you want:

<ItemGroup>
    <None Remove="uitest.json" />
    <EmbeddedResource Include="uitest.json" />
</ItemGroup>

@dansiegel , yes I would love to help PR with the docs and sample.
