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, delivers over 141 commits primarily focused on critical product fixes, testing enhancements, and infrastructure updates. Key improvements address various platform-specific bugs across iOS, Android, and Windows, optimize UI components like ScrollView and CarouselView, and include dependency version bumps alongside extensive test case stabilizations.

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] [VERSION/IOS-26] [AREA-SAFEAREA] in iPad windowed mode SearchBar adds left margin equivaltent to SafeAreaInsets when placed inside grid: This issue describes a problem where the SearchBar component inside a grid on an iPad in windowed mode adds an unintended left margin equivalent to the SafeAreaInsets, specifically observed on iOS 26. The user found a workaround by disabling InsetsLayoutMarginsFromSafeArea on the SearchBar, and the problem does not appear on earlier iPadOS versions like 18.4. - The comments include validation attempts across different .NET MAUI versions and iPadOS versions, with mixed reproducibility results initially; further testing confirmed the issue occurs only on iPadOS 26.0. Contributors exchanged sample projects and code snippets to reproduce the problem, and video evidence was shared to illustrate the behavior before and after fixes or workarounds.

   • Number of comments this week: 5

2. [T/BUG] [S/NEEDS-ATTENTION] [iOS] SfAutocomplete with ShowSuggestionsOnFocus freezes in a popup: This issue describes a problem where the SfAutocomplete control with ShowSuggestionsOnFocus set to true causes the application to freeze on iOS when used inside a popup after upgrading to version 10.0.50, whereas it worked correctly in version 10.0.40. The problem appears to be a regression affecting only iOS and is suspected to be related to the Syncfusion control rather than the MAUI framework itself.

   • The comments suggest that the issue is likely specific to the Syncfusion SfAutocomplete control, recommending the user to contact Syncfusion support. Additionally, the user has already created a ticket with Syncfusion, and the problem is considered a regression due to the MAUI version upgrade.
   • Number of comments this week: 2

3. [T/BUG] [PLATFORM/WINDOWS] [S/VERIFIED] [AREA-CONTROLS-WEBVIEW] [S/TRIAGED] [I/REGRESSION] [REGRESSED-IN-10-PREVIEW7] [Windows] WebView Regression from NET9 to NET10: This issue reports a regression in .NET 10 where multiple WebView instances on Windows do not display correctly, a behavior that worked as expected in .NET 9. The problem manifests as an additional WebView window showing up blank instead of loading the intended content, and the only current workaround is to revert to .NET 9.

   • The comments confirm the issue is reproducible starting from .NET 10 Preview 7 and provide visual evidence of the regression; one comment suggests the problem may be linked to a specific code change involving the asynchronous initialization of the WebView component and references a related issue for further investigation.
   • Number of comments this week: 2

4. [T/BUG] [PLATFORM/IOS] [S/VERIFIED] [AREA-CONTROLS-SWITCH] [S/TRIAGED] [VERSION/IOS-26] Switch iOS Liquid glass rendering issue: This issue describes a rendering problem with the Switch control on iOS 26.x when using .NET MAUI version 10.0.50, where visual artifacts appear only when the switch is toggled on, suggesting a problem in MAUI's rendering process rather than the native iOS control. The problem likely started after the introduction of the "Liquid ass" rendering support, and no workaround has been found, leading users to use Cupertino switches instead.

   • The comments confirm the issue has been observed since the introduction of the "liquid ass" support and provide validation with reproducible examples comparing native iOS rendering to MAUI's faulty rendering on iOS 26, reinforcing that the problem is specific to MAUI's implementation.
   • Number of comments this week: 2

5. [T/BUG] [PLATFORM/IOS] [S/VERIFIED] [S/TRIAGED] [I/REGRESSION] [AREA-SAFEAREA] [REGRESSED-IN-10.0.50] [iOS] Vertical SafeAreEdge isn't respected when Top and Bottom constraints mismatch: This issue describes a problem on iOS where vertical SafeAreaEdges settings are not properly respected when the top and bottom constraints differ, causing sub elements to be displayed incorrectly within the safe area. The behavior worked correctly in version 10.0.1 but regressed starting from version 10.0.50, and the user provides detailed reproduction steps and examples highlighting the discrepancy between Android and iOS handling of safe areas.

   • The comments confirm the issue is reproducible on iOS from version 10.0.50 onward and identify the root cause as the safe area inset not being applied at the view level if the parent handles any of the same edges; a workaround is suggested by specifying SafeAreaEdges at the element level differently from the parent to correctly apply insets.
   • Number of comments this week: 2

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: 22

Summarized Issues:

• Rendering and Layout Issues on iOS and Mac Catalyst: Multiple issues describe rendering problems on iOS and Mac Catalyst platforms, including text wrapping failures in Labels with fixed WidthRequest, mirrored text in CollectionView EmptyViewTemplate with RightToLeft flow direction, and flickering CollectionView items when asynchronously loading images. These problems affect visual correctness and user experience by causing text overflow, unreadable content, and flickering artifacts during scrolling.
• issues/34499, issues/34522, issues/34531, issues/34538

• WebView Rendering and Behavior Problems: There are issues with WebView controls on Windows and MacCatalyst, including a background color change to black in Dark Mode on Windows that cannot be overridden, a regression causing multiple WebView instances to display blank windows on Windows .NET 10, and intermittent test timeouts on MacCatalyst due to network latency. These issues impact usability and testing reliability of WebView components across platforms.
• issues/34518, issues/34558, issues/34577

• Safe Area and Margin Layout Regressions on iOS: Several issues report regressions related to safe area handling and layout margins on iOS, including vertical SafeAreaEdges not being respected properly causing sub elements to appear incorrectly, and SearchBar inside a grid on iPad windowed mode adding an unintended left margin equal to SafeAreaInsets. These regressions affect UI layout consistency and visual correctness on iOS devices.
• issues/34551, issues/34563

• Text and Label Rendering Bugs: Problems with Label controls include TapGestureRecognizer on spans failing on wrapped text lines after navigation, TailTruncation LineBreakMode failing to render updated text if initially empty, and multithreading issues causing exceptions when updating label spans concurrently. These issues degrade text interaction, display, and stability in .NET MAUI apps.
• issues/34504, issues/34581, issues/34591

• CollectionView and ScrollView Measurement and Behavior Issues: Issues include ScrollView not re-measuring and shrinking height when items are removed from a BindableLayout on iOS, and ScrollView Orientation set to Neither resetting scroll positions to zero instead of preserving them. These problems cause layout inconsistencies and unexpected scroll behavior.
• issues/34536, issues/34583

• Visual Regression and Screenshot Test Failures: Upgrading dependencies and SDK versions caused increased sensitivity in visual comparison metrics and sub-pixel rendering differences, leading to widespread UI test failures and the need to regenerate baselines. These issues complicate automated UI testing and require adjustments to testing infrastructure.
• issues/34524, issues/34586

• Platform-Specific Feature and API Limitations: The TextToSpeech API on iOS does not list the Lithuanian locale despite its availability on Android and iPhone settings, causing speech failures. Additionally, a build failure occurs when 'RuntimeIdentifiers' is incorrectly set to 'win-x64' for Android, preventing app publishing. These platform-specific limitations hinder functionality and deployment.
• issues/34530, issues/34590

• UI Control Visual Artifacts and Interaction Bugs: The Switch control on iOS 26.x shows visual artifacts when toggled on, likely related to a new rendering feature, and Android navigation with Shell.NavBarIsVisible set to false causes UI jumping and stuck states when the keyboard is open. These bugs affect control appearance and navigation smoothness.
• issues/34560, issues/34584

• Navigation and Multithreading Issues: A recurring segmentation fault occurs during navigation between pages on Android Release builds, and predictive back callbacks block default back-to-home animations on Android requiring manual removal. These issues impact app stability and navigation experience.
• issues/34528, issues/34594
