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 improvements to streamline development workflows.

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. Windows apps play Windows Exclamation sound when ALT S is pressed in MAUI Blazor Hybrid app: This issue describes a problem in a MAUI Blazor Hybrid app on Windows where pressing the keyboard shortcut ALT+S triggers the Windows default Exclamation sound, despite the presence of an accesskey attribute intended to handle this shortcut. The user notes that this behavior does not occur in WinForms apps with a WebView2 control, but it does occur in both standard MAUI and MAUI Blazor Hybrid apps, and no workaround has been found so far.

   • The comments confirm the issue is reproducible on Windows with multiple MAUI preview versions, clarify that the problem occurs specifically when pressing ALT+S inside the WebView, and suggest the root cause may lie with the MAUI WebView control rather than Blazor itself, as the sound suppression works differently across WinForms, MAUI, and MAUI Blazor Hybrid apps.
   • Number of comments this week: 7

2. iOS CollectionView doesn't respect a change to ItemsLayout when using Items2.CollectionViewHandler2: This issue describes a problem on iOS where changing the ItemsLayout of a CollectionView at runtime does not work when using the newer Items2.CollectionViewHandler2, despite this handler fixing layout problems on iPhone 16. The user reports that while the regular CollectionView allows dynamic layout changes, switching to the new handler disables this functionality, forcing users to restart the app after device rotation.

   • The comments confirm the issue is reproducible on iOS with the CV2 handler but not with the original CV1 handler. A pull request has been suggested as a potential fix, and the contributor responsible for that PR believes it addresses the problem by adding a new mapper for ItemsLayout in CV2.
   • Number of comments this week: 4

3. VisualStateManager Setter Fails for Namespaced Custom Controls in .NET MAUI 10.0.0-preview.7: This issue describes a regression in .NET MAUI 10.0.0-preview.7 where the XAML compiler fails to resolve a namespaced custom control when VisualStateManager setters are used, causing a build error that did not occur in the previous preview version. The problem affects multiple platforms and results in a compile-time error XC0000, with a partial workaround involving fully qualified property syntax that is inconsistent across scenarios.

   • The comments confirm the issue is reproducible across major platforms and specific to preview 7, not preview 6. One comment marks the issue as a duplicate of another, and another asks if the reporter can test a related pull request to verify a potential fix.
   • Number of comments this week: 3

4. Memory Leak in VisualStateGroup When Used with Custom Settings Class in .NET MAUI: This issue describes a memory leak occurring in .NET MAUI when using VisualStateGroups with a custom settings class, specifically involving a custom toggle control and its settings. The leak happens because references to the control are retained when VisualStateManager switches states and the settings are updated or disposed, preventing proper cleanup and memory release.

   • The comments confirm the issue is reproducible on Windows with multiple MAUI versions and suggest that defining VisualStates as page-level resources causes the leak by holding references to controls through the custom settings objects; it is also recommended to force garbage collection after removing the control to help mitigate the problem.
   • Number of comments this week: 2

5. CollectionView crash: This issue describes a crash occurring in an iOS app when a CollectionView populated with up to 100 items moves to the background, which did not happen previously when using a ListView in Xamarin.Forms. The user has attempted various workarounds, including switching to a new CollectionView handler and limiting the data source, but the app continues to crash, and they are working on creating a minimal reproduction project.

   • The discussion includes a suggestion to try the new CollectionView handler introduced in .NET MAUI 9.0, which the user implemented but reported that the crash still occurs. The user plans to create a minimal reproducible example to help diagnose the issue, acknowledging it may take some time due to the complexity of their codebase.
   • Number of comments this week: 2

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 do not properly bind within a custom control's bindable property in XAML, as the setter for the property is never triggered. The user reports that this occurs across iOS and Android platforms in version 8.0.80 SR8, with no known workaround other than avoiding nullable enums by adding an explicit unset or none value to the enum.
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. The problem is reproducible on Windows version 10.0.19041.0 using the .NET 8.0.80 SR8 runtime, and no workaround has been identified so far.
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 EventTrigger through a named style with a key triggers the invoke method only once, indicating the problem is specific to globally defined styles in the Maui framework 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 arcs in PathGeometry occasionally appear offset from their expected starting positions, particularly for large arcs greater than 180 degrees. The problem occurs across Windows, Android, and iOS platforms, is more frequent near the 180-degree threshold and with thicker strokes, and persists despite attempted workarounds such as breaking the arc into smaller segments or using line segments, especially during animations.
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 the display scaling is changed. Specifically, even when FontAutoScalingEnabled is set to false, the text size increases with higher display scaling settings, which should not occur and affects the consistency of UI appearance.
