MAUI supporting Wear OS and Watch OS?

I'm thinking about to use MAUI, as soon it is released, for developing an app. My app needs to run on iOS and Android. Next to the mobile app I will have an app for Wearables (watchOS and Wear OS). Xamarin is supporting all four need platforms. But for MAUI I only find the information that it will work for iOS and Android. Does anybody know if it will also support watchOS and Wear OS?

Dear @SwethaKandikonda is right but newly with Dotnet 8 Preview and Visual Studio Version 17.8.0 Preview 5.0 seems something is happening.
My hello world project works like a charm even I did not customized AndroidManifest.xml file Also discussed here
Please look at my project

enter image description here

Tip : you should not customize AndroidManifest.xml and it should be empty like this : enter image description here

It should not have the <Uses-SDK line enter image description here

I am not acctually sure if there is no support for watch/wear OS. Looking at the link vhugo wrote document says than there is no support for Android Auto and Apple Carplay but it is. Links below: Apple Carplay https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNkVxegb2oU So maybe there is support for watches as well

Yes, there is support for Android WearOS applications: https://gist.github.com/vhugogarcia/4cacaa90b42495c21a62044efc298beb

You can find a working sample on a github issue as mentioned by the user ivictorhugo: https://twitter.com/ivictorhugo/status/1526561045698969604?s=20&t=JL5yBtfz4Zda9U_hHafKqw

According to this document, As of now, there is no support for Wear OS/Watch OS for MAUI Framework.

  • iOS 10 or higher.
  • macOS 10.13 or higher (using Mac Catalyst).
  • Windows desktop and the Universal Windows Platform (UWP), using Windows UI Library (WinUI) 3.
