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/ANDROID] [I/REGRESSION] [REGRESSED-IN-10.0.40] BUG - Using Microsoft.Maui.Controls 10.0.40 throw exception Android.Runtime.JavaProxyThrowable: This issue reports that updating Microsoft.Maui.Controls from version 10.0.31 to 10.0.40 causes an Android.Runtime.JavaProxyThrowable exception when navigating to a page in a .NET MAUI Android app, indicating a regression from previous behavior. The error appears related to inaccessible methods in the CommunityToolkit.Maui library, specifically involving method access violations in platform-specific code on Android.

   • Commenters confirm experiencing the same issue with version 10.0.40, discuss error logs showing MethodAccessException related to CommunityToolkit.Maui, inquire about repro steps, verify toolkit versions, and note that updating related NuGet packages does not resolve the problem; the issue is identified as a regression linked to a specific pull request and marked as a duplicate of another issue.
   • Number of comments this week: 14

2. [T/BUG] Infinite Measure Looping on iOS: This issue describes a problem where upgrading an app to .NET 10 causes it to freeze on iOS due to an infinite measure loop triggered by certain UI configurations, such as labels with specific font sizes. The user has tested multiple versions and found this to be a regression from previous behavior, leading them to pause their upgrade until the issue is resolved.

   • The comments include the user making the repository public, a mention that the issue may be fixed by a specific pull request, an offer to help with testing, a note that the problem is causing app hangs in production, and instructions on how to test a nightly build that might contain the fix.
   • Number of comments this week: 5

3. [T/BUG] [PLATFORM/IOS] [S/VERIFIED] [S/TRIAGED] [PARTNER/SYNCFUSION] [AREA-ESSENTIALS-MEDIAPICKER] [VERSION/IOS-26] [iOS] MediaPicker.PickPhotosAsync unable to pick multiple images with compressionQuality set: This issue describes a problem with the MediaPicker.PickPhotosAsync method on iOS where setting the CompressionQuality option prevents the selection of multiple images, limiting the returned results to three or fewer photos or none at all despite the UI allowing more selections. The user found that removing the CompressionQuality setting allows selecting many images without issue, indicating a bug in handling compression when picking multiple photos on iOS.

   • The comments confirm the issue is reproducible on iOS with various MAUI versions and provide a sample project for validation. A workaround by removing the CompressionQuality option is suggested, though it disables compression, and users express frustration with the debugging experience on the iOS simulator.
   • Number of comments this week: 4

4. [PLATFORM/WINDOWS] [S/VERIFIED] [S/TRIAGED] [PARTNER/SYNCFUSION] Wrong display of "versionnumber" in a project: This issue concerns the incorrect display of the version number in a .NET MAUI project, where the build and revision numbers do not update as expected when reading version information through various AppInfo properties. The problem persists until a clean and rebuild of the project is performed, after which the version values reflect the changes correctly.

   • Comments confirm the issue is reproducible on specific Visual Studio and MAUI versions on Windows, provide detailed reproduction steps, and demonstrate that performing a clean and rebuild resolves the outdated version display problem.
   • Number of comments this week: 3

5. [T/BUG] [PLATFORM/ANDROID] [S/NEEDS-INFO] [S/VERIFIED] [S/TRIAGED] Referencing Xamarin.AndroidX.Work.Runtime causes dependency failures.: This issue describes a problem where referencing the Xamarin.AndroidX.Work.Runtime package in a new .NET MAUI Android project causes dependency build errors due to conflicting version constraints among related Xamarin.AndroidX lifecycle packages. The user reports that this issue is a regression from previous versions of .NET MAUI, with no known workaround, and provides detailed log warnings showing version mismatches.

   • The comments confirm the issue is reproducible on Android with specific MAUI versions and clarify that the problem is not a bug in MAUI itself but a NuGet dependency conflict; the recommended solution is to manually pin the versions of the conflicting Xamarin.AndroidX lifecycle packages in the project file to resolve the build errors.
   • Number of comments this week: 2

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:

• Android app crash on reopen: Reopening a .NET MAUI app on Android after pressing the back button causes a crash due to a JavaProxyThrowable error triggered by accessing a disposed IServiceProvider object. This issue affects app stability when users navigate back and then relaunch the app.
• issues/33597

• HybridWebView header encoding issues: Passing non-ASCII characters like emojis in the "X-Maui-Request-Body" header blocks C# method invocation in the HybridWebView component, breaking functionality that worked in earlier .NET MAUI versions. This limits the ability to use rich characters in web view requests.
• issues/33758

• SearchBar TextChanged event inconsistency: The TextChanged event on SearchBar does not consistently fire after the initial change, causing problems detecting subsequent user input. This affects user interaction tracking and dynamic UI updates based on text input.
• issues/33761

• XAML Source Generator parsing errors: Multiple issues in the XAML Source Generator cause parsing and compilation errors, including failure to process Style.Setter with BindableProperty fields, incorrect handling of inline <StyleSheet> with CDATA CSS, improper parsing of Padding="NaN", invalid RelativeSource binding modes, and failure to recognize the Invoked event on SwipeItem. These problems lead to build failures and styling or event wiring issues in XAML files.
• issues/33835, issues/33867, issues/33871, issues/33876, issues/33877

• Unexpected garbage collection on Android: The RealParent property on Syncfusion.Maui.Popup.SfPopupOverlayContainer is unexpectedly garbage collected on Android 14.0 in .NET MAUI 10.0.30, which should not happen and was detected via Serilog logging without a clear reproduction method. This may cause UI instability or unexpected behavior in popup overlays.
• issues/33841

• Missing .NET workload package: The microsoft.net.sdk.maui package version 10.0.20 is missing from the NuGet feed, breaking .NET workload installations and causing dotnet workload restore to fail. This blocks developers from setting up or updating their MAUI workloads properly.
• issues/33987

• XAML C# expression source generator type mismatch: The XAML C# expression source generator incorrectly uses the target BindableProperty type instead of the source expression type for generic parameters, causing compilation errors when source and target property types differ. This affects bindings such as decimal ViewModel properties bound to string Entry.Text properties.
• issues/33992

• Test instability due to image comparison mismatch: The Issue18896Test fails because of an image comparison mismatch, causing instability in automated testing that requires further investigation. This impacts test reliability and continuous integration processes.
