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/ANDROID] [S/VERIFIED] [S/TRIAGED] [I/REGRESSION] [PARTNER/SYNCFUSION] [REGRESSED-IN-10.0.0] Component in page with padding gets wrong height: This issue describes a problem in .NET MAUI 10 where a page with padding containing a scroll view as the first child causes the scroll view's height to exceed the page height, resulting in content extending below the visible screen area. This behavior is a regression from .NET MAUI 9 and is related to the new default edge-to-edge mode on Android, which causes content to render behind the system navigation bar unless SafeAreaEdges is explicitly set.

   • The comments confirm the issue is reproducible on Android starting with .NET MAUI 10 and explain that the behavior is due to edge-to-edge mode being enabled by default, causing content to extend behind system UI elements; a workaround is provided by setting SafeAreaEdges="Container" on the ContentPage to restore previous padding behavior and prevent content from being obscured.
   • Number of comments this week: 4

2. [T/BUG] [PLATFORM/IOS] [S/VERIFIED] [S/TRIAGED] [I/REGRESSION] [PARTNER/SYNCFUSION] [AREA-ESSENTIALS-MEDIAPICKER] [REGRESSED-IN-10-PREVIEW4] MediaPicker.CapturePhotoAsync() fails with UnauthorisedAccessException on IOS despite successfully being Granted Access: This issue describes a problem where the MediaPicker.CapturePhotoAsync() method in a .NET MAUI iOS app throws an UnauthorizedAccessException despite the user granting camera permission, which previously worked in version 9.0.10 but fails in version 10.0.50 and later. The user reports that this occurs even though the iOS device settings confirm camera access is granted, and the issue reproduces on both physical devices and the iPhone simulator running iOS 18.4.

   • The comments confirm the issue is reproducible across multiple .NET MAUI versions starting from 10.0.0-preview.4, with a shared validation project and video; however, there is discussion about the simulator's limitations, noting that while the camera app interface appears, the UnauthorizedAccessException is unexpected and not typical simulator behavior.
   • Number of comments this week: 3

3. [T/BUG] [PLATFORM/WINDOWS] [PLATFORM/ANDROID] [AREA-CONTROLS-COLLECTIONVIEW] [S/VERIFIED] [AREA-CONTROLS-REFRESHVIEW] [S/TRIAGED] [I/REGRESSION] [CSI-NEW] [PARTNER/SYNCFUSION] [REGRESSED-IN-10.0.60] C6-The C6 page cannot scroll on Windows and Android platforms.: This issue describes a problem where the C6 page in the RefreshView test case cannot be scrolled on Windows and Android platforms, with the issue reproducible on multiple versions and specifically confirmed on the latest Android version. The expected behavior is that the page should be scrollable, but currently, it is not, affecting user interaction on these platforms.

   • The comments confirm the issue is reproducible on Windows across all tested versions and on Android only in the latest version, indicating a regression on Android but not on Windows, and a regression pull request has been identified.
   • Number of comments this week: 3

4. [T/BUG] [PLATFORM/IOS] [AREA-CONTROLS-TABBEDPAGE] [S/VERIFIED] [S/TRIAGED] [PARTNER/SYNCFUSION] [VERSION/IOS-26] [iOS] TabbedPage BarTextColor not applied to unselected tabs: This issue reports that in .NET MAUI on iOS 26.2, the BarTextColor property of a TabbedPage is not applied to unselected tabs, only affecting the selected tab, whereas this behavior works correctly on iOS 26.0. The problem is specific to the iOS 26.2 platform and was confirmed to be reproducible with .NET MAUI versions 10.0.0 and 10.0.50.

   • The comments confirm the issue's reproducibility on iOS 26.2 and clarify that it does not occur on iOS 26.0. A fix has been submitted that works around the problem by using pre-colored images with a specific rendering mode to bypass the problematic tint pipeline, and users are asked to test the fix once available.
   • Number of comments this week: 2

5. [T/BUG] [PLATFORM/IOS] [AREA-CONTROLS-SHELL] [S/VERIFIED] [S/TRIAGED] [PARTNER/SYNCFUSION] Shell TitleView on iOS has unremovable horizontal margins and vertical gap: This issue describes a problem with the Shell.TitleView on iOS where the title view content has unremovable horizontal margins of about 16 points on the left and right, as well as a visible vertical gap between the title view and the page content below it, which cannot be eliminated using any MAUI API settings. The root cause is identified as the UINavigationBar's directionalLayoutMargins causing the horizontal margins and the UINavigationBar.Frame.Height underreporting the actual visual height, resulting in the vertical gap; this issue does not occur on Android and has persisted since at least .NET 8.

   • The comments include screenshots validating the issue on different iOS versions and .NET MAUI versions, showing the presence of horizontal margins and vertical gaps in the title view on iOS, with some variation in gap visibility between iOS 18.4 and iOS 26.0.
   • Number of comments this week: 2

As of our latest update, there are no stale issues for the project this week.

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: 32

Summarized Issues:

• iOS UI Appearance Issues: Several issues describe UI inconsistencies on iOS, including the BarTextColor property of TabbedPage not applying to unselected tabs, unremovable horizontal margins and vertical gaps in Shell.TitleView, and the SearchHandler retaining previous tab states due to lifecycle event order problems. These problems cause unexpected visual behavior and hinder proper UI updates on iOS and MacCatalyst platforms.
  • issues/34605, issues/34610, issues/34693

• BackgroundColor Reset Problem: The BackgroundColor property of Entry and Editor controls on iOS and macOS does not reset to the native default when set to null at runtime, causing controls to retain previously applied custom colors instead of reverting to defaults. This leads to inconsistent UI appearance after dynamic background changes.
  • issues/34611

• Screenshot Baseline Mismatches in Tests: Multiple flaky test failures occur due to screenshot baseline mismatches on MacCatalyst and Android, related to changes in Material3 MaxItemCount and unrelated flaky test behavior. These mismatches cause continuous integration builds to fail and require baseline updates.
  • issues/34622, issues/34623, issues/34624, issues/34625

• Layout and Spacing Regressions: Regressions in version 10.0.60 cause layout issues such as increasing gaps at the bottom of Android emulator screens, misaligned items and large gaps on MacCatalyst and iOS after resizing, and truncation of first and last items when changing ItemSpacing on Android. These regressions degrade UI consistency and usability across platforms.
  • issues/34634, issues/34635, issues/34636

• ScrollView and Scrolling Issues: Problems include incorrect scroll view height calculation causing content to extend beyond visible screen on Android, inability to scroll the C6 page in RefreshView test cases on Windows and Android, inconsistent scroll positions on grouped data pages on macOS and iOS, and ScrollView orientation set to Neither resetting scroll offsets on Windows. These issues impair expected scrolling behavior and layout correctness.
  • issues/34642, issues/34663, issues/34666, issues/34671, issues/34701

• Navigation and Lifecycle Event Failures: The Shell.OnNavigated method is not called on iOS when navigating to registered routes, causing post-navigation event handling to fail. Additionally, the SearchHandler retains previous tab states due to lifecycle events firing out of order, leading to stale UI elements. These issues disrupt navigation workflows and UI state management on iOS.
  • issues/34662, issues/34693

• CollectionView Grouping and Crash Issues: Removing a group from a grouped CollectionView on iOS causes an ArgumentOutOfRangeException crash due to unsafe UpdateSection calls before removal is processed, resulting in data source and UIKit section count mismatches. This leads to app instability when modifying grouped data.
  • issues/34691

• Media and Permission Problems on iOS: The MediaPicker.CapturePhotoAsync() method throws UnauthorizedAccessException on iOS despite granted camera permissions after upgrading to .NET 10, affecting both physical devices and simulators. This blocks photo capture functionality in MAUI iOS apps.
  • issues/34661

• Build and SDK Version Conflicts: Running dotnet new maui -sc for Android fails due to a minimum SDK version conflict where the project template sets minSdkVersion to 21 but included packages require 23, causing build errors. This prevents successful project creation and compilation.
  • issues/34706

• Call Directory Extension Missing on iOS 18: The Call Directory Extension does not function on iOS 18 because the "Call Blocking & Identification" option is missing in Settings, although the same implementation works on newer iOS versions. This limits extension functionality on older iOS releases.
  • issues/34708

• XAML Compilation and Source Generator Issues: Problems include VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups causing InvalidOperationException due to duplicate group names from implicit styles, improper escaping of x:Key values in generated C# string literals, and proposals to improve compiled bindings diagnostics and add support for x:Code directive. These affect XAML reliability, performance, and developer experience.
  • issues/34696, issues/34712, issues/34716, issues/34726

• Hot Reload Infrastructure and API Proposals: The HotReload infrastructure contains dead code and is proposed for deprecation and removal, while new APIs are proposed to force reapplication of Style and VisualStateManager groups to support efficient Hot Reload scenarios. These changes aim to simplify codebase and improve developer tooling.
  • issues/34714, issues/34721, issues/34722

• Keyboard and Input Behavior Regression on Android: The HideSoftInputOnTapped property no longer closes the keyboard when tapping outside Entry controls on modal pages after upgrading from .NET 8 to .NET 10, specifically affecting Android devices using NavigationPage. This regression impacts user input experience.
  • issues/34730

• Cross-Platform Shadow Rendering Differences: Shadows on borders render differently between iOS and Android, with Android shadows appearing darker and spreading differently despite identical shadow properties, causing inconsistent visual appearance across platforms.
  • issues/34731

• NullReferenceException on Android TabBar: A NullReferenceException occurs on Android 9 with a TabBar when returning from a minimized state after navigating through certain pages, causing the app to crash instead of displaying the expected page. This affects app stability on older Android versions.
  • issues/34720

• Microsoft.Maui.Client CLI Tool API Review: A multi-model AI review identified command hierarchy inconsistencies, interface segregation issues, missing guided setup, and configuration persistence problems in the Microsoft.Maui.Client CLI tool, proposing phased priorities to enhance usability, extensibility, and CI integration.
