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, created 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. [T/BUG] [PLATFORM/WINDOWS] [S/VERIFIED] [AREA-CONTROLS-PICKER] [S/TRIAGED] Picker does not respect themes (outline, dropdown, indicator): This issue describes a problem where the Picker control in a .NET MAUI application does not update its visual elements such as the outline, dropdown background, and indicator when the app's theme is changed at runtime between Light and Dark modes. The problem is specifically noted on the Windows platform, where the Picker fails to respond to theme changes, while other controls and platforms handle theme switching correctly.

   • The comments confirm the issue is reproducible on Windows but not on iOS or Android, discuss the lack of a current fix, and suggest possible workarounds including customizing the picker dialog color at the application level, with users noting platform-specific behavior differences.
   • Number of comments this week: 4

2. [T/BUG] [S/VERIFIED] [S/TRIAGED] [AREA-SAFEAREA] [Android] SafeAreaEdges not behaving as expected: This issue describes a problem on Android where the SafeAreaEdges="SoftInput" setting does not behave as expected to keep a bottom button visible when the keyboard appears, unlike on iOS where the layout adjusts correctly. The user reports that on Android, input fields and the button are obscured by the keyboard and scrolling is limited, and attempts to apply SafeAreaEdges to different containers or the ContentPage do not resolve the issue, suggesting either a misunderstanding of usage or a platform bug.

   • The comments confirm the issue is reproducible on Android and explain that the difference in behavior is due to Android panning the window by default while iOS resizes it; a suggested workaround involves moving the SafeAreaEdges setting to the root grid and changing the Android soft input mode to AdjustNothing. The original poster tests this workaround and finds it improves accessibility but still leaves the button partially obscured by the keyboard accessory bar, indicating the solution is incomplete and that SafeAreaEdges only partially works on Android when applied at the root level.
   • Number of comments this week: 4

3. [T/BUG] [S/NEEDS-REPRO] Navigation very glitchy with NavigationPage and TabbedPage: This issue describes a problem with navigation in the latest version of .NET MAUI where using NavigationPage and TabbedPage together causes content from one tab to appear incorrectly on other tabs, and navigating back results in blank screens. The user reports that this behavior is a regression from version 10.0.20 to 10.0.30 on Android 15, and the only workaround found so far is rolling back to an earlier version.

   • The first comment marks the issue as a duplicate and mentions an upcoming release (10.0.31) expected to fix the problem, while the second comment reports that the issue persists in 10.0.31 and requests further confirmation from others.
   • Number of comments this week: 2

4. [T/BUG] .NET MAUI 10: MediaPicker.PickPhotosAsync Fails to Return Location EXIF Data on Android: This issue reports that in .NET MAUI 10, the MediaPicker.PickPhotosAsync method on Android devices fails to return location EXIF data from photos, whereas the same functionality worked correctly in .NET MAUI 9. The problem arises because the new Android Photo Picker API used in .NET MAUI 10 enforces location metadata redaction by default, preventing access to GPS coordinates embedded in images.

   • The comment explains that the underlying cause is a change in the Android MediaPicker implementation from using Intent.ActionGetContent in .NET 9 to the new PickVisualMedia API in .NET 10, which enforces location redaction by default, and references an external issue tracker for further discussion on this behavior.
   • Number of comments this week: 1

5. [T/BUG] [PLATFORM/IOS] [AREA-CONTROLS-COLLECTIONVIEW] [S/VERIFIED] [S/TRIAGED] [PARTNER/SYNCFUSION] [iOS] Grouped CollectionView scroll jump/skip during normal scrolling: This issue describes a problem where a grouped CollectionView on iPad running iOS unexpectedly jumps forward during normal scrolling, skipping several groups when item updates occur. The problem appears to be triggered by UI state changes during scrolling, particularly when using RefreshView and IsRefreshing, and does not reproduce on Android.

   • The single comment confirms the issue is reproducible on iOS (iPad) with MAUI versions 10.0.0 and 10.0.30, and provides a validation screenshot from Visual Studio Code.
   • Number of comments this week: 1

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: 25

Summarized Issues:

• Theme and UI Appearance Issues: Several controls in .NET MAUI exhibit problems respecting theme changes or displaying correctly across platforms. The Picker control does not update its outline and dropdown appearance on theme change, and the Shell back button color does not reset properly across iOS, Android, and MacCatalyst.
• [issues/33821, issues/33909]

• Media and Metadata Handling: The MediaPicker on Android fails to return location EXIF metadata in .NET MAUI 10 due to enforced location redaction, representing a regression from .NET MAUI 9 behavior.
• [issues/33827]

• Documentation and Usage Clarifications: There is confusion regarding the use of RadioButton with ControlTemplate and Content, as assigning a View to RadioButton.Content when a ControlTemplate is applied causes warnings that contradict documentation on iOS and Android.
• [issues/33829]

• CollectionView and Scrolling Bugs: Scrolling issues affect grouped CollectionView on iOS iPad where scroll position jumps unexpectedly, and the ScrollTo method does not work on CollectionView2 with horizontal layout on iOS and MacCatalyst, causing no scroll position change.
• [issues/33833, issues/33852]

• XAML Source Generator (XSG) Failures: Multiple XSG problems occur including NotImplementedException errors when processing Style.Setters targeting partial BindableProperties, failure to parse inline StyleSheet CSS in CDATA, incorrect handling of edge-case type conversions like Padding="NaN", invalid parsing of RelativeSource bindings without explicit Mode, and failure to recognize SwipeItem Invoked event handlers.
• [issues/33835, issues/33867, issues/33871, issues/33876, issues/33877]

• Build and Publishing Issues: Publishing .NET MAUI apps in release mode deletes system resources from Android APK/AAB causing exceptions, and a known build error causes failure to launch Test Android Virtual Device during integration tests.
• [issues/33837, issues/33862]

• Memory and Resource Management Problems: Unexpected garbage collection of RealParent in Syncfusion Popup on Android 14, a memory leak in modal TabbedPage with NavigationPage on Android after PopModalAsync, and multiple ObjectDisposedException errors related to IServiceProvider on Android 16 after .NET 10 update indicate resource management issues.
• [issues/33841, issues/33918, issues/33923]

• Navigation and TabbedPage Bugs: On Android 15, switching tabs in a TabbedPage combined with NavigationPage causes incorrect tab content, blank screens, and glitchy behavior not present in earlier versions.
• [issues/33873]

• UI Testing and Rendering Differences: iOS screenshot-based UI tests fail due to rendering differences between macOS 26 (Tahoe) and macOS 15 (Sequoia) environments after migrating to ACES agent pools, requiring baseline image updates.
• [issues/33879]

• Text and Label Rendering Issues: CharacterSpacing set on a Label does not apply to Span elements within a FormattedString, although other properties like TextColor and TextTransform do apply correctly.
• [issues/33904]

• Android Keyboard and Safe Area Handling: SafeAreaEdges="SoftInput" does not keep bottom buttons visible or allow full text entry access on Android when the keyboard appears, unlike on iOS, and attempts to fix this by adjusting container levels or soft input mode only partially help.
• [issues/33922]

• Material 3 Visual Support: The ProgressBar control requires updates to fully support Material 3 styling, colors, and state behaviors when the UseMaterial3 MSBuild property is enabled.
• [issues/33925]

• Flaky Tests Due to External Dependencies: A CoreCLR MacCatalyst BlazorWebView test intermittently fails because it depends on an external echo service, causing unreliable continuous integration results.
• [issues/33927]

• Animation and Layout Bugs on iOS: The TranslateToAsync() method triggers spurious SizeChanged events after animation completion on iOS, causing infinite layout restart loops and UI freezes that block upgrading to .NET MAUI 10.
• [issues/33934]

• Device-Specific UI Layout Issues: The TitleView component displays correctly on an iPad Pro 11-inch but appears vertically squeezed on an iPad Pro 13-inch, indicating device-specific layout problems.
• [issues/33936]

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: 12

Summarized Issues:

• Event Handling Regression in .NET 10: The PdfKit WillClickOnLink event in .NET MAUI iOS apps no longer fires in .NET 10 release mode, causing links to open directly in the browser instead of triggering the event. This represents a regression from .NET 9 where the event worked correctly.
• issues/33670

• UI Visibility and Performance Issues on Android: ToolbarItem tooltip text is unreadable on Android 16 due to tooltip background color mismatches with Shell.TitleColor, especially in dark mode or with white navigation bars. Additionally, a regression in Microsoft.Maui.Controls 10.0.30 causes continuous garbage collection and UI lag on Android TabbedPages, which was not present in 10.0.10.
• issues/33701, issues/33731

• App Crashes in Release Mode on Mobile Platforms: .NET MAUI apps crash on Android 12+ devices in .NET 10 release mode shortly after loading the first screen, and iOS apps built with AOT enabled crash due to EXC_BAD_ACCESS when disposing native CALayer objects on the finalizer thread. Both issues cause app instability and require attention to release build configurations.
• issues/33712, issues/33800

• XAML Source Generator Parsing and Compilation Errors: The XAML Source Generator (XSG) has multiple parsing issues including allowing invalid attributes on property element syntax, failing to parse OnPlatform type arguments in nested views, mishandling SwipeItems collections defined as StaticResource, and errors when parsing DataTemplates with SwipeView bindings. These issues cause compilation failures or incorrect XAML behavior.
• issues/33868, issues/33869, issues/33870, issues/33878

• Source Generator Binding and Event Feature Requests: There is a request to add SearchChanging event and SearchChangingCommand to SearchBar to handle text changes properly, and a reported compilation error when binding StyleClass using SourceGen due to invalid type conversion, which can be worked around by disabling SourceGen.
• issues/33823, issues/33906

• CSS Isolation Failure in MAUI Blazor Hybrid: In .NET 10 MAUI Blazor Hybrid apps, CSS Isolation for Razor components fails because the scoped CSS bundle file is never generated during build, causing component-scoped stylesheets to be ignored despite correct configuration and no build errors.
• issues/33718
