II. Issues

2.1 Top 5 Active Issues:

We consider active issues to be issues that that have been commented on most frequently within the last week. Bot comments are omitted.

1. [T/ENHANCEMENT ☀️] [PROPOSAL/OPEN] [PLATFORM/ANDROID] [PLATFORM/IOS] [S/TRIAGED] Proposal: Window.StatusBarTheme — Control Status Bar Icon Appearance on Mobile: This issue proposes adding a Window.StatusBarTheme property to allow developers to control the appearance of OS-drawn status bar icons (light or dark) on Android and iOS independently from the app theme, addressing the problem where status bar icons become unreadable when the background behind the status bar differs from the overall app theme. It includes a detailed API design, platform-specific implementation notes, and motivation rooted in recent platform changes and community requests, aiming to provide a framework-level solution that supports dynamic theming and overcomes limitations of existing workarounds like the CommunityToolkit.

   • The comments discuss related prior issues and proposals, highlighting the lack of built-in support and limitations of existing CommunityToolkit behaviors, especially around dynamic resource binding. Contributors emphasize the need for a framework-level API to handle status bar icon theming correctly, with references to workarounds and the specific challenges in Blazor Hybrid templates. The discussion culminates in support for this proposal as a comprehensive and maintainable solution.
   • Number of comments this week: 4

2. [T/BUG] [PLATFORM/IOS] [S/VERIFIED] [S/TRIAGED] [I/REGRESSION] [REGRESSED-IN-10-PREVIEW1] iOS Adhoc/Debug builds crash after addition of privacy statement: This issue describes a problem where iOS Adhoc and Debug builds crash due to a missing nanopb library after adding privacy statements required for App Store submission, causing failures in both simulators and physical devices. The user found that removing all privacy statement references allows the build to work, suggesting that privacy statements need to be conditionally included only for App Store builds, but the reason for this behavior is unclear.

   • The comments confirm the issue persists across multiple .NET MAUI versions and affects TestFlight distribution, with users emphasizing the severity as it blocks app publishing; a workaround for Adhoc builds exists but not for App Store builds, and a request for urgent investigation and resolution was made.
   • Number of comments this week: 3

3. [S/TRIAGED] AOT integration tests fail: unexpected IL3050 warnings for HybridWebViewHandler: This issue reports that AOT integration tests fail on Android due to unexpected IL3050 warnings related to the HybridWebViewHandler, which uses dynamic code features incompatible with AOT compilation. The problem arises because the expected warnings baseline does not include these new warnings, and the issue suggests either updating the baseline or suppressing the warnings with proper justification.

   • The first comment analyzes the cause, explaining that the warnings are false positives due to a feature switch that disables the handler under NativeAOT, and recommends suppressing the warning at the call site as the proper fix. The second comment disagrees with suppressing the error, questioning whether the feature switch was enabled during testing and noting that the current implementation of HybridWebViewHandler is incompatible with Native AOT.
   • Number of comments this week: 2

4. [T/BUG] [PLATFORM/ANDROID] [AREA-TESTING] [I/REGRESSION] [CSI-NEW] [.NET 11]With VS 18.6.0 Insiders + .NET11 Preview 3 installed: ManualMaui cannot be debugged on the Android platform with errors: XAAMM0000 & AMM0000: This issue describes a problem where ManualMaui cannot be debugged on the Android platform when using Visual Studio 18.6.0 Insiders combined with .NET 11 Preview 3, resulting in deployment failures with errors XAAMM0000 and AMM0000 related to namespace conflicts and minSdkVersion mismatches. It is identified as a regression from a previous .NET SDK version where the issue did not occur, and the user provides detailed reproduction steps and error logs to illustrate the problem.

   • The comments include attached log files for further diagnosis and a suggested workaround involving changing the SupportedOSPlatformVersion from 21 to 24, which reportedly resolves the issue.
   • Number of comments this week: 2

5. [T/BUG] [PLATFORM/ANDROID] [S/VERIFIED] [S/TRIAGED] [I/REGRESSION] [PERF/MEMORY-LEAK 💦] [REGRESSED-IN-10-PREVIEW1] Memory Leak: MainActivity instances are not garbage-collected after destroy: This issue reports a memory leak in .NET MAUI version 10.0.51 where MainActivity instances on Android are not garbage-collected after being destroyed, causing them to persist in the Java heap due to JNI GlobalRefs. The problem is a regression from version 9.0.120, with no known workaround, and has been reproducibly validated across multiple .NET MAUI versions starting from 10.0.0-preview1.

   • The comments suggest a possible relation to another Android issue and confirm the reproducibility of the memory leak across different .NET MAUI versions, providing visual evidence comparing the behavior in the last working and affected versions.
   • Number of comments this week: 2

Issues Closed This Week: 3

Summarized Issues:

• Map control runtime failures on Windows in MAUI apps: The Map control in XAML throws a HandlerNotFoundException if UseMauiMaps is not invoked or fails because the map is unsupported on Windows. A workaround involves using conditional code to avoid creating the control on Windows to prevent runtime failures.
• issues/34483

• ItemSpacing regression causing truncation on Android lists: In Microsoft.Maui.Controls version 10.0.60, changing the ItemSpacing value in vertical or horizontal lists causes the first and last items to be truncated on Android devices. This regression affects the visual layout and usability of lists on Android.
• issues/34636

• Image resizing regression in CollectionView on Android: After dynamically resizing images in a CollectionView on Android, dragging the scrollbar causes all images to revert to their original sizes instead of maintaining the adjusted sizes.

Other Open Pull Requests

• StatusBarTheme Control: This pull request introduces a new Window.StatusBarTheme property and a corresponding StatusBarTheme enum to allow developers to explicitly control the appearance of OS-drawn status bar icons on Android and iOS. It addresses issues with icon visibility in edge-to-edge rendering scenarios by enabling light, dark, or default icon styles.
  pull/34903

• SwipeView Threshold Fix: This pull request fixes the issue where the SwipeView Threshold property incorrectly affected the width and offset of the side menu by removing its misuse in item sizing and snap distance calculations. This ensures the menu width and content offset behave correctly across iOS and Android platforms.
  pull/34923

• MibcProfileGenerator Build Tool: This pull request adds a new build tool called MibcProfileGenerator that scans compiled MAUI assemblies to generate MIBC profile files listing all InitializeComponent* methods. It integrates this tool into the MSBuild pipeline with an opt-in target for partial ReadyTo-Run compilation of XAML-generated code in .NET for iOS Debug builds and packages the tool alongside existing build tasks to enable improved partial compilation support via crossgen2.
  pull/34837

• RadioButton BackgroundColor Fix: This pull request fixes the issue on iOS and MacCatalyst where the RadioButton's BackgroundColor improperly bleeds outside its CornerRadius by updating the control template to bind the background color to the inner clipped border. It suppresses the default background mapping on the outer platform view, ensuring the background is rendered correctly within the rounded corners.
  pull/34844

• WPF BlazorWebView Composition Control: This pull request introduces a new UseCompositionControl property to the WPF BlazorWebView that allows developers to opt out of using the WebView2CompositionControl in favor of the standard WebView2 control to improve Razor component performance. It also enhances error handling, updates the public API to use the IWebView2 interface, and addresses community feedback for an opt-in/opt-out toggle.
  pull/34869

• Windows Lifecycle Event OnAppInstanceActivated: This pull request adds a new Windows lifecycle event OnAppInstanceActivated to the .NET MAUI framework, enabling apps to handle activation events such as single-instance redirects, protocol or file activations, and follow-on authentications more cleanly. It exposes the underlying AppActivationArguments payload and provides a mechanism to mark activations as handled, along with comprehensive cross-platform device tests to validate the event order and behavior.
  pull/34883

• FlyOutPage Title Update Fix on Android: This pull request fixes an issue on the Android platform where the title of a FlyOutPage stopped updating after displaying a NonFlyOutPage by removing an incorrect parent check in the NavigationPage.OnWindowChanged method. This change prevents the toolbar from being improperly cleared and ensures it updates correctly during page swaps.
  pull/34839

• GitHub Agentic Workflow for UI Test Categories: This pull request adds a GitHub Agentic Workflow that automatically detects UI test categories from pull request diffs and posts a comment listing the relevant categories to run on CI pipelines. It enhances test targeting and integration with existing pipelines while maintaining security through sandboxing and safe output practices.
  pull/34856

• Code-Review Skill Regression Detection: This pull request improves the code-review skill's evaluation by adding three new regression detection scenarios based on real issues from version 10.0.60. This expands the total scenarios from six to nine and enhances testing of regression prevention rules to better identify high-risk components, side-effect risks, and avoid false positive warnings for documentation-only changes.
  pull/34884

• RefreshView IsRefreshing Binding Fix on Windows: This pull request fixes the issue on Windows where the RefreshView's IsRefreshing property did not work correctly when binding by preventing the refresh control's Loaded event handler from unsubscribing itself. This ensures the refresh indicator remains visible upon navigation.
  pull/34845

• .NET 11.0 Preview.3 Dependency Update: This pull request updates the .NET 11.0 preview.3 dependencies—including SDK, runtime, Android, and macOS SDKs—to build 26202.110 versions aligned with the release/11.0.1xx-preview3 branch to avoid incompatibilities found in preview.4. It also includes a fix for a nullable dereference warning in WebViewHandler.iOS.cs.
  pull/34852

• C# UI Mode in MAUI App Template: This pull request adds an opt-in --ui csharp mode to the .NET MAUI app template that generates the starter project using plain C# UI code instead of the default XAML. This provides a minimal dependency alternative that directly exposes the MAUI object model.
  pull/34863

• CommunityToolkit.Maui.Markup UI Template: This pull request introduces an opt-in alternative for the MAUI C# UI template that generates starter UI code using CommunityToolkit.Maui.Markup's fluent extensions instead of plain C# object initialization. It keeps XAML as the default UI mode and provides a more concise and fluent syntax for C#-only UI authoring with the tradeoff of adding a toolkit dependency.
  pull/34864

• Shell Back Button Navigation Fix on iOS 26: This pull request fixes the issue on iOS 26 where the Shell back button did not navigate correctly when BackButtonBehavior.IsEnabled was false by clearing the pending back-navigation flag when a disabled back tap is ignored. This ensures back navigation works properly once the button is re-enabled.
  pull/34890

• RunOnAndroid CI Lane Rename: This pull request updates the name of the RunOnAndroid CI lane in the eng/pipelines/ci.yml file from a mac_ prefix to linux_ to accurately reflect that the lane runs on the Linux Android pool. This change does not affect any functional behavior or pipeline settings.
  pull/34866

• Android NativeAOT Integration Test Fix: This pull request fixes failures in the Android NativeAOT integration tests by explicitly suppressing IL3050 and IL2026 warnings for the HybridWebViewHandler registration in AddControlsHandlers using pragma directives. It addresses the issue that the Android ILC does not honor [FeatureGuard] attributes for warning suppression despite the code being correctly guarded.
  pull/34868

• Duplicate Template Parameters Removal: This pull request removes duplicate template parameters "Empty" and "empty" from the maui-blazor and maui-blazor-solution project templates. This fixes an issue in the .NET 11 SDK where stricter case-insensitive duplicate key handling caused the template engine to incorrectly select the .NET 10 version when using the --Empty parameter.
  pull/34876

• Shell Navigation State Fix on iOS and Mac: This pull request fixes an issue on iOS and Mac where Shell.CurrentState.Location was incorrectly truncated and stale inside Shell.OnNavigated after calling GoToAsync. It refines the GetNavigationState method to apply iOS-specific route trimming only during native tab taps, ensuring the full navigation route is correctly reported.
  pull/34880

• Implicit xmlns:x Declarations in .NET 11: This pull request enables implicit xmlns:x declarations by default in .NET 11 for the MAUI project, removing the need for opt-in flags. It updates the XAML loading, compilation, and source generation processes accordingly, marks the previous explicit attribute as obsolete, and adds tests to validate the new behavior.
  pull/34909

• GitOps Placeholder '@' Prefix Removal: This pull request removes the redundant '@' prefix from the ${issueAuthor} placeholder in the GitOps project to prevent duplication. This follows an update that added the '@' character internally.
  pull/34834

• Disabled NuGet Feed Removal: This pull request removes the disabled darc-pub-dotnet-android-1719a35b NuGet feed from the net10.0 branch to fix build failures caused by the feed returning a 404 error during package restore. The packages previously hosted there have been promoted to other active feeds already configured in NuGet.config.
  pull/34854

• Simulator Runtime Installation Skip in CI: This pull request modifies the official ci-official.yml pack pipeline to skip the installation of simulator runtimes by adding skipSimulatorSetup: true to the provision parameters. This addresses timeout issues on macOS agents during the Install Simulator Runtimes step and ensures the pipeline, which only builds and packs NuGet packages without running tests, completes successfully.
  pull/34859

• Default .gitignore in MAUI Templates: This pull request adds a default root .gitignore file to multiple MAUI project and solution templates, updates the template packaging to preserve leading-dot files in the packed nupkg, and includes integration tests to ensure the generated projects contain the .gitignore. This improves the initial setup of new MAUI apps by ignoring common build and IDE artifacts.
  pull/34862

• CollectionView ScrollTo Test Fix on Windows: This pull request addresses test failures related to CollectionView's ScrollTo functionality on Windows by adding delays to ensure asynchronous scroll events complete before test assertions. It disables scroll animations to prevent flaky results and re-enables previously skipped Windows-specific tests after resolving the underlying race conditions introduced by making ScrollIntoView asynchronous.
  pull/34907

• XAML Source Generation Fix for Static C# Expressions: This pull request fixes XAML source generation for static C# expressions that use global usings by correctly recognizing expressions like {DateTime.Now} and fully qualified static references. It prevents erroneous MAUIX2009 errors and includes updates to member resolution and regression tests for these cases.
  pull/34926

Other Closed Pull Requests

• iOS and MacCatalyst UI Fixes: Multiple pull requests address UI issues on iOS and MacCatalyst platforms, including restoring native default background appearance when BackgroundColor is cleared on Entry and Editor controls, fixing an ObjectDisposedException crash by adding disposal guards, and resolving the status bar tap not scrolling the topmost CollectionView to the top by managing ScrollsToTop properties. These fixes improve runtime behavior and stability of UI components on Apple platforms.
  • pull/34741, pull/34680, pull/34687

• Android CollectionView Resizing and Selection Fixes: Several pull requests fix issues in Android CollectionView where dynamically resized items would reset size after scrolling and selection clearing caused UI test failures. The fixes involve modifying recycling and binding logic to preserve runtime size changes and adding conditions to prevent selection application when SelectedItem is null during SelectionChanged events.
  • pull/34882, pull/34828, pull/34928

• RadioButtonGroup and ControlTemplate Fixes: A pull request fixes RadioButtonGroup controls not functioning correctly when RadioButtons are inside a ContentView by updating equality checks and root resolution logic to prevent unintended auto-selection and properly uncheck other radio buttons during ControlTemplate inflation. This improves the correctness of radio button group behavior in complex UI hierarchies.
  • pull/34781

• Keyboard Dismissal on Android Modal Pages: One pull request fixes the HideSoftInputOnTapped feature on Android modal pages by overriding DispatchTouchEvent to forward touch events from modal dialogs to the main MAUI window, enabling keyboard dismissal when tapping outside input fields. This enhances user experience on modal dialogs.
  • pull/34770

• XAML and Build Tooling Enhancements: Pull requests introduce support for the x:Code XAML directive enabling inline C# in XAML via a new source generator, and add a new build tool called MibcProfileGenerator to generate MIBC profile files for partial ReadyToRun compilation of XAML-generated code. These improvements enhance XAML authoring and build performance.
  • pull/34715, pull/34660

• CarouselView Vertical Snapping Fix: A pull request fixes vertical CarouselView snapping behavior on iOS by updating layout handling to use a custom compositional layout and correctly compute vertical page progression and loop correction. This ensures smooth and accurate vertical carousel interactions.

  • pull/34805

• Build and CI Pipeline Improvements: Pull requests implement a batched trigger for UI and device test pipelines to limit active CI runs per branch, skip iOS simulator installation in official pack pipelines to avoid timeouts, and add a GitHub Actions workflow to trigger Azure DevOps review pipelines from PR comments with permission checks and feedback. These changes improve build efficiency and developer workflow.
  • pull/34849, pull/34802, pull/34894

• Windows Platform and Lifecycle Enhancements: Pull requests fix a Windows build error by updating a handler alias for Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Controls.Grid and introduce a new Windows lifecycle event OnAppActivation exposing activation arguments for cleaner single-instance app activation and protocol/file activation handling. These improve Windows platform integration and app lifecycle management.
  • pull/34891, pull/34870

• Documentation and Test Image Fixes: One pull request addresses XML documentation build issues by merging enum remarks and replacing unresolved inheritdoc tags, while another fixes UI test image failures by adding base images for multiple platforms and re-saving necessary UI test images. These improve documentation quality and test reliability.
  • pull/34895, pull/34933

• Android Supported OS Platform Version Update: A pull request updates the Controls.ManualTest project by increasing the Android SupportedOSPlatformVersion from 21 to 24 to fix debugging errors with ManualMaui on Visual Studio 18.6.0 Insiders and .NET 11 Preview 3.
