-
[T/BUG] [PLATFORM/ANDROID] [AREA-CONTROLS-SWIPEVIEW] [S/VERIFIED] [S/TRIAGED] [S/NEEDS-ATTENTION] [I/REGRESSION] [PARTNER/SYNCFUSION] [REGRESSED-IN-10.0.100] [Android] SwipeView Threshold is ignored in Microsoft.Maui.Controls 10.0.100 (regression from 10.0.90): This issue reports that in Microsoft.Maui.Controls version 10.0.100 for Android, the SwipeView.Threshold property is ignored, causing the swipe behavior to differ from previous versions where the threshold was respected, indicating a regression from version 10.0.90. The user highlights that this change affects swipe gesture activation distance and that the workaround is to downgrade to 10.0.90, while also noting concerns about the lack of announcement for this breaking change and the increased complexity when using SwipeItemView as an alternative.
- Comments confirm the issue reproduces on Android with version 10.0.100 and provide visual comparisons; a response clarifies that the Threshold property’s intended behavior changed in a prior release and suggests using SwipeItemView for width control, but users express frustration over the unannounced breaking change, increased code complexity, and related UI issues such as dark mode visibility problems.

[T/BUG] [PLATFORM/IOS] [S/VERIFIED] [S/TRIAGED] [I/REGRESSION] [AREA-SAFEAREA] [REGRESSED-IN-10.0.100] [REGRESSION: iOS, 10.0.100] Page scrolling behavior upon keyboard hide is broken: This issue reports a regression in .NET MAUI version 10.0.100 on iOS where dismissing a modal page with the soft keyboard visible causes the underlying page to remain permanently shrunk, leaving a large empty area where the keyboard was previously displayed. The root cause is identified as a missing call to
SetNeedsLayout()in the keyboard state cleanup code, introduced by a recent commit that replaced a helper method with inline code omitting this crucial layout trigger, resulting in improper page layout restoration after keyboard dismissal.- The comments confirm the diagnosis of the regression caused by the removal of
SetNeedsLayout()in the unsubscribe method, discuss the detailed root cause analysis tracing back to specific pull requests, and indicate that a fix is planned for an upcoming servicing release to restore the previous correct behavior while maintaining the memory leak fix. - Number of comments this week: 5

[T/BUG] [PLATFORM/ANDROID] [PLATFORM/IOS] [T/NATIVE-EMBEDDING] [S/VERIFIED] [AREA-CONTROLS-DIALOGALERT] [S/TRIAGED] [MIGRATION-COMPATIBILITY] Page.DisplayAlert and Page.DisplayActionSheet do not work in MAUI Embedded Use Case: This issue describes a problem where the Page.DisplayAlert and Page.DisplayActionSheet methods do not function when using MAUI in an embedded scenario within native .NET Android or iOS applications, despite working correctly in pure MAUI and previously in Xamarin.Forms. The user suspects the issue arises because the MessagingCenter subscriptions required for these methods are not properly registered in the embedded use case, resulting in no dialogs appearing and breakpoints after the calls never being hit.
- The comments confirm the issue is reproducible with the latest Visual Studio preview versions, discuss whether to test with the latest MAUI version, and report that attempts to fix or verify the problem with updated samples still result in the alert dialogs not appearing despite breakpoints being hit, indicating the problem persists.
- Number of comments this week: 3
-
[T/BUG] [AREA-NAVIGATION] [PLATFORM/IOS] [S/VERIFIED] [S/TRIAGED] [VERSION/IOS-26] iOS Large Title display disappears: This issue reports that on iOS, the large title in navigation bars does not properly transition to the standard title size and position when scrolling, a behavior that previously worked in Xamarin.Forms but is now broken in .NET MAUI version 10.0.11. The problem affects both
NavigationPageandShellimplementations and appears to be related to changes in iOS 26+, with discussions revealing that the issue stems from UIKit behavior and safe-area layout constraints rather than MAUI itself, and that workarounds involve using transparent navigation bars and adjusting safe-area edges.- The comments confirm the issue is reproducible on iOS 26 but not earlier versions, explain that Apple’s design changes require transparent navigation bars for large title collapsing, and share code samples and demos illustrating this; further investigation identified safe-area layout as a root cause, leading to a draft PR that fixes the problem by preserving native scroll view frames and adjusting safe-area handling, with ongoing review and testing to finalize the solution.
- Number of comments this week: 3
-
[PROPOSAL/OPEN] [AREA-CORE-HOSTING] [Enhancement] Add appsettings support: This issue proposes adding support for appsettings.json configuration files in .NET MAUI applications to enable build-time injection of settings, potentially using source generators to avoid runtime performance costs. It addresses the need for a standardized way to manage environment-specific settings and user secrets, which is currently handled through workarounds or hardcoded values, and discusses challenges related to startup performance and configuration reload scenarios.
- The comments include questions about implementation details like source generation versus IL injection, requests for user secrets and runtime reload support, alternative approaches using compiler constants, concerns about startup delays, and a discussion on the use cases and necessity of appsettings in MAUI; the issue was mistakenly closed as a duplicate but later reopened to continue exploring a distinct, broader solution.

2.4 Closed Issues
This section lists, groups, and then summarizes issues that were closed within the last week in the repository. This section also links the associated pull requests if applicable.
Issues Closed This Week: 35
Summarized Issues:
- UI Interaction and Visual Effects Issues: Several issues describe problems with UI elements losing expected interactive or visual behaviors. On Windows, changing a button's background color removes hover and press effects, leaving the button static during interactions. On Android, the Shell Title Bar incorrectly shows a hamburger icon instead of a back arrow after multiple navigations, confusing users.
- iOS WebView and Navigation Delegate Problems: There are issues with iOS WebView navigation delegates causing crashes or incomplete callback executions. The completion handler in
webView:decidePolicyForNavigationAction:decisionHandler:is not always called due to early returns, leading to intermittent NSInternalInconsistencyException crashes in production.
- iOS Lifecycle and Delegate Extensions: The absence of an extension method for the deprecated
PerformFetchiOS lifecycle delegate forces developers to use a less direct pattern, complicating lifecycle event handling.
- Layout and Orientation Handling on Android: Using FlexLayout with non-standard margins causes element overlap when changing orientation from vertical to landscape on Android devices, an issue resolved in .NET 10.
- MacCatalyst Compatibility in WebViewHandler: The WebViewHandler.cs file lacks conditional compilation directives for MacCatalyst, causing code paths to fail or behave inconsistently compared to iOS.
- Map Pins and Collection Reset Handling: When the ItemsSource collection triggers a Reset event, map pins are improperly cleared instead of updated, causing the MapHandler to lose track of pins during dramatic collection changes.
- Resizetizer and Image Cleanup Problems: The Resizetizer tool fails to clean up resized image files from obj folders after original images are deleted, resulting in deleted images still appearing in build outputs despite cleaning.
- UITest Failures on iOS 17: Legacy UITests such as Issue10300Test and RemoveItemsQuickly fail on iOS 17, with exceptions like ArgumentOutOfRangeException raised during collection modifications, breaking UI test reliability.
- Navigation Bar Button Regression in .NET 8: The
TopViewController.NavigationItem.SetLeftBarButtonItemmethod no longer works as expected in .NET 8 MAUI projects, breaking functionality that was present in .NET 7.
- Flyout Menu "More" Option Behavior: Users request an option to disable the automatic "more" menu in Flyout menus when more than five items exist, to avoid forced navigation to a separate "more" screen.
- iOS Entry Control Crash on ClearButtonVisibility: Using
ClearButtonVisibility="WhileEditing"on an Entry control causes a crash on iOS 12.5.7 devices in release mode, impacting app stability on older hardware.
- Android TabbedViewHandler OffscreenPageLimit Regression: The
OffscreenPageLimitproperty does not function correctly on Android due to missingMapUpdateOffscreenPageLimit, representing a regression from Xamarin.Forms behavior.
- Windows Splash Screen and Font Packaging Issues: Windows app packages intermittently miss splash screen icons or fonts from Resources/Fonts during build and publish, causing app startup failures or missing assets. Workarounds include cleaning build directories or using
MauiAssetinstead ofMauiFont.
- Android File Picker Hangs on Large Files: The Android File Picker hangs and makes the app unresponsive when selecting large video files due to synchronous file copy operations that should be asynchronous.
- CollectionView InvalidateMeasure Event Missing on Windows and Android: The
InvalidateMeasureevent is not triggered on CollectionView when content size changes on Windows and Android, causing inconsistent layout updates compared to iOS.
- Android Splash Screen and Theme Colors Not Updating Dynamically: On Android, splash screen and status/navigation bar colors do not update dynamically when the device theme changes, requiring app restart to apply new colors.
- MacCatalyst FilePicker Returns Temporary Path: The FilePicker on MacCatalyst returns a temporary file path instead of the actual physical file path, complicating file access scenarios.
- iOS CollectionView Header Padding and Accessibility Issues: Padding and margin on the left side of CollectionView headers cause text cutoff on iOS, and VoiceOver screen reader skips all child elements inside the header during forward navigation, breaking accessibility.
- iOS Pull-to-Refresh Horizontal Scrollbar Regression: A horizontal scrollbar briefly appears during pull-to-refresh gestures on iOS in .NET 10, a regression from previous versions where no horizontal scrolling was expected.
- Android Back Button Does Not Cancel Web Authentication: Pressing the Android system Back button on the Microsoft account chooser screen during WebAuthenticator.Default.AuthenticateAsync() does not cancel or complete the authentication task, causing the app to hang indefinitely.
- MAUI Grid Horizontal Spacing Update Issue: Updating horizontal item spacing in the MAUI I2_Vertical grid only affects the second column instead of all columns, causing inconsistent spacing across macOS, iOS, and Android.
- iOS Simulator Rotation Obscures Text by Notch: Rotating the iOS Simulator 90° counter-clockwise causes text to be obscured by the notch in various test cases, affecting versions 9.0.120 through 10.0.90 and fixed in later versions.
- Windows Splash Screen Asset Generation Race Condition: In .NET 10, MSBuild's timestamp-based checks combined with Resizetizer's
WriteOnlyWhenDifferent="true"cause intermittent failure to generate splash screen files in Windows unpackaged mode, resulting in missing assets.
- Publish Pipeline Script Replacement Proposal: A proposal suggests replacing MAUI's custom NuGet publishing script with the approved
1ES.PublishNuget@1task to improve security, validation, and maintainability in the official release pipeline.
- Resizetizer and DesignTimeBuild Race Condition in Publish: Visual Studio background DesignTimeBuilds overwrite Resizetizer-generated icon files with stale unpackaged icons during Publish builds targeting MSIX, causing incorrect icons in the final package.
- Android 14 Crash with Telerik RadGridView on .NET MAUI 10.0.90: A NullReferenceException crash occurs on Android 14 when navigating to certain screens after upgrading to .NET MAUI 10.0.90, linked to Telerik RadGridView components and not present in 10.0.80.
- iOS TextKit 1 vs TextKit 2 Tap Target Offset: On iOS 16+,
RecalculateSpanPositionsuses legacy TextKit 1 API causing tap target regions for text spans to be vertically offset by 30–45 points from visible text, making tap gestures fail unless tapped above the text.
- Internal GestureRecognizer Implementations Cause Compilation Errors: Several GestureRecognizer implementations in .NET 11 are internal, causing compilation errors in Avalonia.Controls.Maui builds and requiring them to be made public to avoid workarounds.
- Windows CollectionView Enumerator Exception in .NET 11 Preview: Selecting the first item in CollectionView on Windows triggers an "Unexpected type for enumerator" exception in .NET 11 Preview 7, an issue not present in .NET 10.
- Request for Official Firebase Plugin for .NET MAUI: Developers request an official Firebase plugin to enable native push notification support in .NET MAUI apps without relying on third-party libraries, easing migration and integration.
- Windows Dispatcher Extension Method Access Failure: The UserStoppedTypingBehavior throws an exception on Windows 11 in .NET MAUI 11.0.0-preview.7 due to failed access to a dispatcher extension method, with no current workaround.

This ensures correct view lifecycle behavior and is verified with comprehensive unit and UI tests.
- Release Pipeline and Publishing Enhancements: Improvements include replacing a custom NuGet publishing script with the standardized 1ES.PublishNuget task to enhance validation and recovery, and adding automated local readiness checks for the net11 official build pipeline with sanitized reporting. These changes streamline release processes without public API changes.
- SwipeItem Icon Color Customization: A new bindable property
SwipeItem.IconColorwas introduced to explicitly control swipe item icon tinting across Android, iOS, and Windows in .NET 11. This replaces implicit tinting with configurable support that responds to theme changes, improving icon visibility and customization.
- Automated PR Review Workflow Enhancements: An autonomous feature was added to detect eligible pull requests for re-review based on deterministic signals and automatically apply a label to trigger rerun-review-scanner, closing the loop for automated review reruns with robust error handling and test coverage.
- Gesture Recognizer API Hardening: The gesture recognizer dispatch API was hardened by adding input validation, enforcing non-nullable annotations, and improving documentation to ensure safer usage for third-party implementations. This enhances robustness and clarity in gesture handling.
- ReadyToRun Publishing Opt-in Feature: An opt-in feature for full ReadyToRun publishing in the Android CoreCLR release was introduced via the
MauiEnableFullReadyToRunPublishingproperty, improving runtime performance while preserving partial R2R by default. Documentation and MSBuild coverage outline the tradeoffs between APK size and performance.
- Release-Readiness Skill Enhancements: The release-readiness skill was extended to generate deterministic, public-safe Preview and servicing-release handoff artifacts with strict validation of metadata and package sources, maintaining distinct semantics within a unified public handoff format.
- AnimationManager Disposal Fix: Disposal logic in
AnimationManager.Disposewas fixed to properly detach ticker callbacks, clear active animations, and prevent memory leaks by ensuring idempotent disposal. Comprehensive unit tests verify correct behavior across platforms.
- Memory Leak Workflow Improvements: Memory Leak workflows were improved by increasing cadence, preventing re-processing of already fixed leaks, auto-closing related issues, and enhancing the Daily Leak Hunter to avoid re-filing fixed leaks, all while ensuring safe dry-run modes and updated permissions.
- iOS Pull-to-Refresh Gesture Fix: The pull-to-refresh gesture on iOS was fixed for empty CollectionViews by moving the EmptyView inside the native CollectionView and adding a right-to-left counter-transform to prevent mirrored content, preserving correct layout and flow direction.
- Dependency and SDK Alignment: All 35
dotnet/dotnetdependencies were aligned and repository SDK and Arcade/Helix toolset selections updated inglobal.jsonto match the .NET 11 RC1 SDK/runtime build, preserving existing package pins.
- Visual Tree Visibility Propagation Fix: The propagation of effective visibility in the visual tree was fixed by maintaining local
VisualElement.IsVisiblevalues while ensuring handler-facingIView.Visibilityreflects cumulative ancestor visibility, optimizing change propagation and handling reparenting and measure invalidation correctly.
- Windows Border Clipping Fix: A fix was introduced for Windows where transformed content inside a Border was clipped incorrectly by adding a stationary native clip host that preserves correct clipping during transforms without adding public APIs.
- .NET SDK Workload Path Normalization: The issue of incorrect workload paths caused by missing trailing directory separators in
MSBuildExtensionsPathwas fixed by normalizing the path with a trailing slash before appending relative paths, ensuring correct resolution of workload manifests and thedotnethost.
- WebAuthenticator Request Lifecycle Centralization: The WebAuthenticator request lifecycle was centralized with a process-wide, identity-safe request manager ensuring exactly-once completion, strict callback validation, consistent cancellation, and cleanup across platforms, preserving the public API and improving reliability and test coverage.
- MacCatalyst CI Click Optimization: The MacCatalyst click operation in the CI/PR pipeline was optimized by deferring costly element
TagNamelookups until click failures occur, eliminating unnecessary remote requests on success and improving test performance and reliability.
- Copilot CLI Path and Workflow Reliability Fixes: Copilot CLI path issues in agentic workflows were fixed by regenerating workflows to stage the CLI in a portable runner-local path, disabling shell access in the automatic labeler, and adopting a new disabled-expiry sentinel for action-failure issues, improving workflow reliability.
- Agentic Workflows Upgrade: All 14 agentic workflows were upgraded to use stable gh-aw version 0.86.2, resolving hardcoded Copilot CLI path issues by adopting a consistent runtime that locates Copilot via PATH and staging it in a sandboxed directory, while maintaining existing logic and passing validation.
