IHostBuilder as default builder

[ParadiseFallen]

I suggest to use IHostBuilder for avalonia. then we can easy setup di and other options. use configuration files. etc.
then we dont need Splat anymore.

Give it a try and see if you could make it to not blow up on macOS and if you could make IHost::StartAsync to return a Task instead of blocking.

maui .net6 will use IHostBuilder for running an app on mobile devices

Will use or uses? Because when looking into their code base I see this https://github.com/dotnet/maui/blob/4340ccf4f87ffae1bf146c5ffe4908e53bd72879/src/Core/src/Hosting/Internal/AppHost.cs#L26-L42

		public async Task StartAsync(CancellationToken cancellationToken = default)
		{
			_logger?.Starting();

			await Task.Run(() => { });

			_logger?.Started();
		}

		public async Task StopAsync(CancellationToken cancellationToken = default)
		{
			_logger?.Stopping();

			_ = await Task.FromResult(new object());

			_logger?.Stopped();
		}

		public void Dispose() => DisposeAsync().AsTask().GetAwaiter().GetResult();

I might be looking in a wrong place though.

Anyway, give it a try. Our AppBuilder is relatively small, shouldn't be that hard to replace it.

It will use. maui in preview and will be released later. For now i wanna see easy di in avalonia. For now i need to use custom extension method that register deps in Splat and then resolve deps when model created. For MVVM navigation there can be helper like CreateVM(/extra arguments/). It can use ActivatorUtilities inside

Target is also not to use Splat as DI container. Use build in microsoft di container for avalonia

[kekekeks]

Splat is used by ReactiveUI. Avalonia doesn't have any DI container preference.
