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, and infrastructure updates. Key highlights include numerous bug fixes addressing UI behavior, threading issues, and control improvements, alongside dependency version bumps and expanded automated testing coverage.

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/IOS] [S/VERIFIED] [S/TRIAGED] [I/REGRESSION] [AREA-GESTURES] [PARTNER/SYNCFUSION] [REGRESSED-IN-10.0.60] [iOS] SKCanvasView and SKGLView become nonresponsive to taps and clicks after upgrade on .NET MAUI 10.0.60 (while toggling IsEnabled of parent Grid): This issue describes a regression in .NET MAUI 10.0.60 on iOS where SKCanvasView and SKGLView become unresponsive to taps and clicks after toggling the IsEnabled property of their parent Grid, despite continuing to update graphics normally. The problem does not occur in version 10.0.51 and is linked to changes in how the IsEnabled property propagates and interacts with native iOS view properties, causing touch input to be blocked due to improper handling of UserInteractionEnabled and background color settings.

   • The comments include requests for making the reproduction repository public, validation of the issue across multiple .NET MAUI versions, discussion of potential root causes including a problematic commit that mishandles UserInteractionEnabled in non-UIControl views, and a proposed fix that respects the InputTransparent property; further testing confirmed the fix works, but the issue persists in later versions due to incomplete merges, leading to requests for expedited inclusion of the fix in upcoming releases.
   • Number of comments this week: 4

2. [T/BUG] [PLATFORM/ANDROID] [S/VERIFIED] [S/TRIAGED] [AREA-SAFEAREA] SafeAreaEdgeAndroid : safe zones not always respected when using custom controls ?: This issue describes a problem in a .NET MAUI Android app where custom header controls do not consistently respect safe area insets, causing the header to sometimes be obscured by the Android status bar after navigating between pages. The problem is reproducible on emulators and real devices, appears related to timing or page lifecycle events, and can be temporarily resolved by rotating the device; it does not occur when using the default Shell navigation bar instead of custom controls.

   • The comments confirm the issue is reproducible on .NET MAUI versions 10.0.0 and 10.0.20 but not from version 10.0.30 onwards, with users discussing attempts to reproduce the bug on various versions and environments, sharing videos and updated repro projects, and noting that upgrading the MAUI version may resolve the problem.
   • Number of comments this week: 4

3. [T/BUG] [PLATFORM/ANDROID] [S/VERIFIED] [AREA-CONTROLS-ACTIVITYINDICATOR] [S/TRIAGED] [I/REGRESSION] [PARTNER/SYNCFUSION] [REGRESSED-IN-10.0.90] Activity indicator stays visible (regression in 10.0.90): This issue describes a regression in version 10.0.90 where the ActivityIndicator on Android remains visible and running even after being programmatically stopped, which did not occur in previous versions like 10.0.80. The problem appears to be related to timing during data loading, with some pages affected differently, and a workaround is to downgrade to version 10.0.80 until a fix is applied.

   • The comments include a request for a reproducible sample, an analysis suggesting the issue is timing-dependent during data loading, a pull request submitted with a fix, and confirmation from the original reporter that the fix resolves the problem on Android.
   • Number of comments this week: 4

4. [PLATFORM/ANDROID] [AREA-NAVIGATION] [S/NEEDS-ATTENTION] [net11 p6, Android] NavigationPage.ToPlatform inside a DialogFragment transaction throws IllegalStateException (FragmentContainerView ctor commits nested transaction; worked on net10): This issue describes a crash occurring on .NET 11 preview 6 for Android when embedding a NavigationPage platform view inside a DialogFragment transaction, which throws an IllegalStateException due to nested fragment transactions being committed during layout inflation—a behavior that worked on .NET 10 but now causes failures because the FragmentContainerView constructor commits a child transaction while the outer transaction is still executing. The reporter clarifies that the built-in modal API works fine on net11 Android, and the crash only happens with a custom DialogFragment embedding approach, suggesting this change in behavior may be worth tracking or documenting as a breaking change.

   • Comments include validation attempts that initially could not reproduce the issue with simple modal pushes, requests for reproduction samples, and a detailed follow-up clarifying that the crash occurs specifically when embedding NavigationPage inside a DialogFragment on net11, with stack traces and analysis provided; the reporter ultimately confirms migration to the built-in modal API as a workaround and suggests retitling the issue to reflect the narrowed scope.
   • Number of comments this week: 3

5. [T/BUG] [PLATFORM/ANDROID] [AREA-ESSENTIALS] [S/VERIFIED] [S/TRIAGED] [MIGRATION-COMPATIBILITY] Geolocation.StartListeningForegroundAsync stopps calling event after 2 positions on Android: This issue reports that the Geolocation.StartListeningForegroundAsync method on Android devices stops firing the LocationChanged event after receiving two position updates, despite the GPS icon remaining active. Users observe that location updates only occur after moving significant distances (around 50 meters), which is inconsistent with expected behavior for frequent updates, and this regression appeared after migrating from Xamarin.Forms to .NET MAUI.

   • Commenters confirmed the problem across multiple Android versions and devices, shared a manual polling workaround, and discussed potential causes including battery optimization settings; a MAUI team member identified the root cause as an unintended 50-meter minimum distance threshold in the Android implementation, provided pull requests to fix it, and users verified the fix works well, with the official release planned for a future .NET 10 service update.
   • Number of comments this week: 2
