Notes
In Uno 5.0, support for .NET 6 (iOS, Android, mac Catalyst), Xamarin.Android, Xamarin.iOS, and Xamarin.macOS was removed.
For UWP, it is possible force a higher version of C# using LangVersion in the platform csproj (eg <LangVersion>12.0</LangVersion>), but some language features may not work properly, such as those that depend on compiler-checked types (eg array slicing, init-only properties) or on runtime support (eg default interface implementations). Using PolySharp can help enabling some more recent C# features.

Notes
For Xamarin.Android, Xamarin.iOS, and Xamarin.macOS, the supported versions depend on the version of Xamarin installed, which is generally tied to the Visual Studio version if you are using Visual Studio.
For UWP, it is possible force a higher version of C# using LangVersion in the platform csproj (eg <LangVersion>12.0</LangVersion>), but some language features may not work properly, such as those that depend on compiler-checked types (eg array slicing, init-only properties) or on runtime support (eg default interface implementations).
