I. News

1.1 Recent Version Releases:

The current version of this repository is 9.0.90

1.2 Version Information:

The .NET MAUI 9.0.90 SR9 release, published on July 11, 2025, includes over 141 commits primarily focused on critical product fixes across iOS, Android, and Windows platforms, testing enhancements, infrastructure updates, and dependency version bumps. Key highlights include numerous bug fixes addressing UI behavior, threading issues, and control improvements, alongside expanded automated testing coverage and housekeeping updates to improve stability and maintainability.

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. Extended LLVM optimization times when running in build agents.: This issue reports that LLVM optimization times during iOS builds have significantly increased when using .NET 9 compared to .NET 8, with build durations doubling from around 15-45 minutes to up to 90 minutes. The user is frustrated by the lack of resolution in a previously closed related issue and questions the support strategy for .NET 8 in relation to MAUI and Android SDK updates, while also noting that extending build pipeline time is an unsatisfactory workaround.

   • The comments clarify that .NET MAUI support differs from .NET SDK support due to external dependencies and that without new information it is difficult to address the issue. Suggestions include checking build logs, ensuring the correct Azure DevOps agent architecture is used, and trying known workarounds such as disabling LLVM or adjusting linker trim modes, though these have trade-offs. It is also noted that a runtime fix improved build performance in .NET 9 SDK 9.0.203, but the original poster still experiences longer LLVM times, and some improvements are planned for .NET 10.
   • Number of comments this week: 5

2. Repating OpenWindow and CloseWindow casuses crash on Windows: This issue describes a crash occurring on Windows when repeatedly opening and closing windows in a .NET MAUI app using Application.Current.OpenWindow and CloseWindow, resulting in an exception with code 0xc0000409 after about 200 to 300 iterations. The problem persists across .NET 8.0 and 9.0 versions, and the user seeks a workaround or solution to prevent the crash while using long-term support versions.

   • The comments confirm the issue reproduces on MAUI version 9.0.50 but not on versions 9.0.60 and above, with a sample project provided for testing. The user asks about updating MAUI versions and workarounds, receives guidance to manually update package versions in the project file, but still experiences the crash after cleaning and rebuilding the project, indicating the problem may require further investigation or runtime updates.
   • Number of comments this week: 4

3. [REGRESSION, 9.0.90, since 9.0.51] OnPropertyChanged events fire very inconsistently for custom controls: This issue reports a regression in .NET MAUI versions 9.0.51 through 9.0.90 where OnPropertyChanged events for custom controls fire inconsistently, causing thread-safe property mirrors like ThreadSafeIsVisible to hold incorrect values. The problem does not occur in version 9.0.50, and the user suspects that PropertyChanged events are no longer invoked when controls are not visible, which breaks expected behavior in their game GnollHack.

   • The commenters initially had trouble running the provided sample due to missing sound bank files, but after detailed instructions were given to include these assets, they were able to build and run the project. Despite successfully running the sample, the bug was not immediately observable, prompting the user to provide a new branch with updated versions and clearer reproduction steps, which confirmed that the event handlers fail to fire properly in versions 9.0.51 and later, causing UI elements to not update as expected.
   • Number of comments this week: 4

4. .NET MAUI Android Cannot paste image into textarea (that has drag/drop/paste support): This issue describes a problem in a .NET MAUI Blazor/Hybrid app where pasting images into a <textarea> element with drag/drop/paste event handlers works on Windows but fails on Android emulators, with the virtual keyboard showing disabled image options and a message stating the app does not support images. The user has requested relevant Android permissions and provided detailed reproduction steps and code samples but is unsure if additional configuration or permissions are needed, seeking help to resolve the issue and wondering if it might be a bug.

   • The comments include detailed reproduction instructions with code snippets and JavaScript for handling drag/drop/paste events, a shared sample repository demonstrating the issue, confirmation that the problem occurs on Android with specific MAUI versions, and a request to test on iOS and macOS platforms for broader compatibility.
   • Number of comments this week: 4

5. Unable to access implicit styles while enable AOT and trimming: This issue concerns the failure of implicit styles to work correctly when Ahead-Of-Time (AOT) compilation and trimming are enabled in a .NET MAUI application, specifically affecting iOS and macOS platforms. The problem arises because AOT limits the use of reflection, which was previously suggested as a workaround, and the user is seeking a valid solution to restore implicit styling under these conditions.

   • The comments clarify that the issue does not occur in Debug or Release modes but consistently reproduces when the app is published as an IPA file using specific publish commands. A workaround involving defining explicit and implicit styles with resource dictionaries is suggested to control styling indirectly, though no definitive fix is confirmed.
   • Number of comments this week: 4

2.2 Top 5 Stale Issues:

We consider stale issues to be issues that has had no activity within the last 30 days. The team should work together to get these issues resolved and closed as soon as possible.

1. Nullable Enums do not bind in XAML: This issue describes a problem where nullable enums fail to bind correctly within a custom control's bindable property in a XAML environment, with the setter method not being triggered during binding. The user reports that this occurs across iOS and Android platforms in version 8.0.80 SR8, and the suggested workaround is to avoid using nullable enums by adding an explicit unset or none value to the enum instead.
2. App crash after invoked FilePicker.Default.PickAsync in administrator mode and release mode of the Unpackaged app: This issue describes an application crash that occurs specifically when invoking the FilePicker.Default.PickAsync method in an unpackaged app running in administrator mode and release configuration on Windows version 10.0.19041.0. The reporter provides detailed reproduction steps using Visual Studio 2022 and a specific publish command, noting that the app crashes upon clicking the "Choose File" button, with no known workaround available.
3. Global defined EventTriggers get triggered twice: This issue describes a problem where an EventTrigger defined globally in a style causes its invoke method to be called twice, resulting in duplicate event handling. The user notes that applying the same EventTrigger through a named style with a key triggers the invoke method only once, indicating a discrepancy in behavior between global and keyed style definitions across multiple platforms including iOS, Android, and Windows.
4. Path with ArcSegments is sporadically drawn offset from expected arc: This issue describes a sporadic rendering problem in .NET Maui where ArcSegments used to draw large arcs greater than 180 degrees are occasionally offset from their expected starting positions, causing clipping and misalignment especially when overlaid on correctly drawn arcs. The problem occurs across Windows, Android, and iOS platforms, appears more frequently near the 180-degree threshold and with thicker strokes, and persists despite attempted workarounds such as breaking the arc into smaller segments or manually drawing with LineSegments, with animation further exacerbating the flickering and offset behavior.
5. .NET Maui does not support FontAutoScalingEnabled for windows platform: This issue highlights that the .NET Maui framework does not properly support the FontAutoScalingEnabled property on the Windows platform, causing text labels to scale incorrectly when display scaling settings are changed. Specifically, when FontAutoScalingEnabled is set to false, the text size still increases with higher Windows display scaling factors, which should not occur according to the expected behavior.

2.3 Open Issues

This section lists, groups, and then summarizes issues that were created within the last week in the repository.

Issues Opened This Week: 34

Summarized Issues:

• Input and Focus Issues in Entry Controls: Several issues describe problems with Entry controls across platforms, including trailing spaces not visible on iOS when aligned to the end, and premature focus triggering on Windows when Entry is inside a ScrollView or interacts with InputTransparent controls. These issues disrupt expected user input behavior and event handling in .NET MAUI applications.

This inconsistency affects layout and size change handling in apps.
• issues/31020, issues/31055

• Memory Leak and View Reuse in Android CollectionView: A memory leak and view reuse problem occurs in Android Multicolumn CollectionView when using more than four columns for flat lists or more than three for grouped lists, causing heap growth, lags, ANRs, and crashes due to inefficient garbage collection and failure to reuse views.
• issues/31047

• IndicatorView Property and Interactivity Issues: On iOS and Catalyst, the IndicatorView control has issues where setting IsEnabled to false does not disable interactivity, the IndicatorSize property does not update dynamically, and the IndicatorsShape property set to "Square" does not change the shape from circles. These bugs affect visual and interactive behavior of indicators.
• issues/31063, issues/31064, issues/31065

• Handler Disconnection and ControlTemplate Unload Problems: Handlers are not properly disconnected from ContentView and child controls when the ContentView is unloaded due to ControlTemplate changes or content replacement, despite the Unloaded event firing, contradicting expected automatic disconnection behavior. This can lead to resource leaks or unexpected behavior.
• issues/31044

• Crash and Exception Issues on iOS and Windows: Crashes include a NullReferenceException in Button.LayoutButton on iOS after upgrading .NET MAUI versions, an InvalidCastException in Maps on iOS after version updates, and a Windows crash on app start caused by invalid XmlnsDefinition attributes. These crashes disrupt app stability across platforms.
• issues/31048, issues/31098, issues/31101

• MediaPicker Modal Dismissal Bug on iOS: Calling MediaPicker.CapturePhotoAsync() or CaptureVideoAsync() from a modal page causes the modal to dismiss unexpectedly after the native camera interface closes, regardless of capture or cancellation, disrupting expected modal behavior.
• issues/31075

• Gesture and Tap Command Inconsistencies: On Windows, a pinch gesture does not complete properly when interrupted by an alert, causing unresponsive gestures, and a TapGesture on a Grid inside a CollectionView ItemTemplate inconsistently fires commands on Windows and Android, affecting user interaction reliability.
• issues/31033, issues/31102

• Security Vulnerability in FileProvider Paths: The microsoft_maui_essentials_fileprovider_file_paths.xml file uses a broad “.” path exposing the entire cache directory, and it is recommended to restrict file access to specific subfolders like “MediaPicker” to improve security.
• issues/31097

• Implicit Styles and Reflection Limitations with AOT: Implicit styles fail to work in .NET MAUI apps when Ahead-Of-Time compilation and trimming are enabled due to AOT limitations with reflection, causing styling to break in published IPA files on iOS and macOS.
• issues/31025

• Debugging and Developer Tooling Enhancements: A request was made to add a debug-only "ShowGridLines" attribute for ContentPage to visually highlight grid columns and rows, aiding developers in pixel-perfect alignment similar to WPF designer features.
• issues/31031

• CI Build Configuration Improvements: A proposal suggests adding an MSBuild variable IncludeCurrentTfms to Directory.Build.props to allow selective inclusion or exclusion of current target frameworks in CI builds, enabling more flexible build control.
• issues/31053

• Compatibility Testing with Xcode 26: Testing .NET MAUI compatibility with Xcode 26 beta 4 using net9 and net10 workloads was performed to identify issues and blockers for readiness with the upcoming major iOS release.
• issues/31029

• API and Layout Method Improvements: A proposal to modify ComputeConstraintForView in net10.0 to return constraints directly and make ComputedConstraint setter private aims to improve API clarity and support custom layouts.
• issues/31083

• Blazor Android WebView Regression: A .NET 9 MAUI Blazor app hangs indefinitely on the splash screen on some Android 10 devices due to missing or misconfigured WebView providers, a regression from .NET 8 caused by lack of proper Android System WebView or Chrome as WebView provider.
• issues/31079

• Image Resize Method Bugs: The IImage.Resize() method has bugs when used with images loaded via PlatformImage.FromStream(), causing repeated PNG images to paint over previous ones on Windows and incorrect disposal of resized images on Android when using disposeOriginal=true.
• issues/31103
