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 issues, threading problems, 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/MACOS] [AREA-XAML] [PLATFORM/WINDOWS] [PLATFORM/ANDROID] [PLATFORM/IOS] [S/VERIFIED] [S/TRIAGED] XAML C# expression tries to assign a value to the read-only properties, but it should be based on the binding mode: This issue describes a problem where XAML C# expressions attempt to assign values to read-only properties, such as Command properties with only getters, resulting in build errors because the binding should respect the binding mode rather than always requiring a setter. The user demonstrates that while classic binding works correctly, the new XAML C# expression binding incorrectly tries to use the setter for all bindings, causing errors across multiple platforms in version 10.0.40.

   • The comments clarify that only TwoWay and OneWayToSource bindings require setters, while others do not; the issue has been validated across various IDEs and MAUI versions, with repro samples provided, and it is confirmed to affect multiple platforms including Windows, Android, iOS, and macOS.
   • Number of comments this week: 5

2. [PERF/GENERAL] [Perf] Skip redundant property mapper calls during handler connection: This issue addresses the performance overhead caused by redundant calls to property mappers during the initial connection of handlers in .NET MAUI controls, where many properties are mapped even if they remain at their default values, leading to unnecessary processing and startup delays. It proposes a centralized optimization to skip mapper calls for properties that have not been explicitly set by the developer, aiming to reduce the number of mapper invocations and improve app startup times across platforms, while acknowledging challenges such as custom mappers and properties that require mapping even at default values.

   • The comments discuss concerns about the proposed optimization potentially breaking custom mappers that rely on always running, and properties like Visibility that need mapping regardless of default values. They suggest tracking keys modified by user code to avoid skipping those mappers and emphasize that individual mapper methods may be better suited to decide skipping logic. The conversation concludes that while the prototype shows promise in reducing redundant calls, a more nuanced approach respecting customizations and special cases is necessary before merging.
   • Number of comments this week: 4

3. [T/BUG] [S/NEEDS-ATTENTION] [iOS] ObjectDisposedException: This issue reports a System.ObjectDisposedException occurring on iOS in a .NET MAUI application after upgrading to version 10.0.40, which used to work fine in version 9.0.100 SR10. The user is unsure of the root cause but suspects it relates to navigation or resource cleanup timing, as the exception involves UIKit navigation components and asynchronous dispatching.

   • The comments highlight the difficulty of diagnosing the problem without a reproduction or code, suggest adding guards to prevent navigation state issues, and note that recent .NET versions may be disposing resources too aggressively, causing exceptions during pending async operations or animations.
   • Number of comments this week: 3

4. [T/BUG] [AREA-XAML] [S/NEEDS-ATTENTION] [XSG] Xaml Source Generator generates nullable warnings, we have warnings as errors.: This issue reports that the XAML source generator produces code that is not fully nullable aware, resulting in nullability warnings that are treated as errors due to the company's strict no-warning policy, making the generated code unusable in their project. The user notes that despite these warnings, no other errors were found in their large application, but they have not found a viable workaround other than disabling warnings as errors, which is not acceptable for them.

   • The comments request the user to provide a minimal reproducible project to help diagnose and fix the issue, emphasizing the need for a small repro to proceed.
   • Number of comments this week: 2

5. [T/BUG] [PLATFORM/ANDROID] [AREA-NAVIGATION] [S/VERIFIED] [S/TRIAGED] Android: memoryleaks when programmatically changing the Detail of a FlyoutPage: This issue describes a memory leak problem occurring on Android when programmatically changing the Detail page of a FlyoutPage using a new NavigationPage, which causes the previous Detail page not to be properly cleaned up, leading to app slowdowns and crashes. The problem is reproducible on Android 11 and up with MAUI versions around 10.0.40 and is a regression from previous Xamarin.Forms behavior, with no known workaround currently available.

   • The comments confirm the issue is reproducible on Android with recent MAUI versions and suggest a potential workaround involving manually disconnecting handlers from the NavigationPage and Detail page before setting a new Detail, though this solution is not verified.
   • Number of comments this week: 2

Issues Closed This Week: 7

Summarized Issues:

• UI Layout and Display Issues on iOS and Android: Several issues describe problems with UI components displaying incorrectly across different devices and platforms. On iOS, the TitleView component appears vertically squeezed on an iPad Pro 13-inch but not on an 11-inch model, while on Android, hiding the Shell NavBar causes page content to overlap with status bar icons, and setting SafeAreaEdges to None does not remove expected padding, leading to layout inconsistencies.
• issues/33936, issues/34060, issues/34076

• Build and Dependency Conflicts: There is a reported build failure caused by version conflicts when referencing Xamarin.AndroidX.Work.Runtime in a new .NET MAUI Android app. This issue arises due to mismatched lifecycle package versions that previously worked in earlier .NET MAUI versions, blocking successful builds.
• issues/33974

• Windows App Theming and TitleBar Button Visibility: The minimize and close buttons on the TitleBar become invisible when theming is applied to a Windows app, with no properties available to control their appearance. This results in a lack of user control over these built-in buttons' visibility under custom themes.
• issues/33975

• CI Pipeline and Xcode Version Mismatch: The RunOnAndroid CI job fails at the "Select Xcode Version" step due to a mismatch between the requested Xcode version 26.0.1 and the available version 26.1.1 on the build machines. This version discrepancy causes a hard failure after recent pipeline behavior changes.
• issues/34049

• XAML Compiler Warning with CommunityToolkit.Mvvm Commands: A false MAUIG2045 warning is generated by the MAUI XAML compiler when binding to command properties created by CommunityToolkit.Mvvm’s [RelayCommand] source generator.
