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, 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. [.NET10][XAML inflator] x:Reference does not appear to work: This issue reports a problem with the .NET 10 RC2 XAML inflator where the x:Reference markup extension does not work correctly within XAML templates, particularly when used inside DataTemplate elements. The user observes that this functionality, which worked in previous .NET MAUI versions, now fails to compile when the <MauiXamlInflator>SourceGen</MauiXamlInflator> option is enabled, and no workaround has been found yet.

   • The discussion reveals that the issue is related to how namescopes are handled in the XAML inflator, especially since DataTemplates have their own namescopes, causing x:Reference lookups to fail. Contributors confirm the problem is reproducible, clarify that the feature is currently opt-in and does not break existing apps by default, and indicate a fix is planned for an upcoming release, with a preview NuGet package available for testing.
   • Number of comments this week: 11

2. Fail to run the WPF Blazor hybrid App with FileNotFoundException "Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Windows.SDK.NET, Version=10.0.17763.10": This issue describes a failure to run a WPF Blazor hybrid application due to a FileNotFoundException for the assembly 'Microsoft.Windows.SDK.NET, Version=10.0.17763.10' when using the .NET 10.0 RC2 package, whereas the same project works correctly with the RC1 package. The problem is linked to a change in the underlying WebView control from WebView2 to WebView2CompositionControl, requiring the target framework to be updated to net10.0-windows10.0.17763.0 to resolve the missing assembly error.

   • The comments confirm the issue reproduces when running with dotnet watch and clarify that the error is not due to a missing WebView2 runtime since the same machine works with the RC1 package. Updating the target framework to include the Windows version suffix fixes the problem, and the change in WebView control type is identified as the root cause, with documentation updates underway to reflect this new requirement.
   • Number of comments this week: 11

3. TimePicker Incorrect & Inconsistent Time Formatting: This issue describes a problem with the TimePicker control on iOS devices where the AM/PM time formatting appears inconsistently and sometimes shows unexpected or non-English characters without any changes in device or language settings. The problem is reproducible on .NET MAUI versions 9.0.305 and 9.0.306, and while a temporary workaround involving manual formatting has been found, it results in non-standard implementations and the issue does not occur on Android.

   • The comments clarified the correct control name as TimePicker, confirmed the issue is specific to iOS and reproducible on certain .NET MAUI versions, and included validation with screenshots and a sample project; it was also noted that the problem does not occur on Android, and the issue was moved to the appropriate MAUI repository for further investigation.
   • Number of comments this week: 6

4. DataVerse ServiceClient fails on IOS: This issue describes a problem where the DataVerse ServiceClient fails to retrieve or update data on iOS when used with .NET 8 and .NET 9 in a .NET MAUI application, producing a deserialization error related to the ExecuteResult parameter. The user reports that the error does not occur on Android or Windows platforms and provides detailed error messages indicating issues with XML deserialization during service calls.

   • The comments include a request for confirmation if the issue also occurs on .NET 9, which the user confirms it does, and the user shares a small reproduction project repository to help diagnose the problem.
   • Number of comments this week: 3

5. end should be < than charSequence length: This issue describes a crash occurring on Android 14 when using the TextChanged event on a Entry control in a .NET MAUI app, specifically triggered by setting the Text property inside the event handler when the new text value is empty. The error is an IllegalArgumentException related to the character sequence length during emoji processing, causing a fatal crash in the app.

   • The comments confirm the issue is reproducible on Android with MAUI versions 9.0.0 and 9.0.111, and a workaround involving asynchronously setting the text with a slight delay on the main thread is shared. Additionally, it is noted that similar crashes have been reported after migrating from Xamarin.Forms to MAUI, with references to related issues and workarounds that have successfully prevented crashes in other text editing components.
   • Number of comments this week: 3

2.2 Top 5 Stale Issues:

We consider stale issues to be issues that has had no activity within the last 30 days. The team should work together to get these issues resolved and closed as soon as possible.

1. Nullable Enums do not bind in XAML: This issue describes a problem where nullable enums do not properly bind to a bindable property within a custom control in XAML, resulting in the setter not being triggered. The user reports that this affects all versions on iOS and Android platforms, with a suggested workaround being to avoid nullable enums and instead add an explicit unset or none value to the enum.
2. App crash after invoked FilePicker.Default.PickAsync in administrator mode and release mode of the Unpackaged app: This issue describes an application crash that occurs specifically when invoking the FilePicker.Default.PickAsync method in an unpackaged app running in administrator mode and release configuration. The problem is reproducible by publishing the app with certain .NET and Windows SDK settings, then running it as an administrator and attempting to pick a file, which unexpectedly causes the app to crash instead of functioning normally.
3. Global defined EventTriggers get triggered twice: This issue describes a problem where an EventTrigger defined globally in a style causes its invoke method to be called twice, resulting in duplicate event handling. The user notes that applying the same EventTrigger through a named style with a key triggers the event only once, indicating a discrepancy in behavior between global and keyed style definitions across multiple platforms including iOS, Android, and Windows.
4. Path with ArcSegments is sporadically drawn offset from expected arc: This issue describes a sporadic rendering problem where arcs drawn using ArcSegment in a PathFigure or PathGeometry appear slightly offset from their expected starting position, particularly for large arcs greater than 180 degrees. The problem occurs across Windows, Android, and iOS platforms, is more frequent near the 180-degree threshold and with thicker strokes, and persists despite attempted workarounds such as using multiple smaller arcs or manually drawing arcs with LineSegments.
5. .NET Maui does not support FontAutoScalingEnabled for windows platform: This issue addresses the lack of support for the FontAutoScalingEnabled property in .NET Maui when running on the Windows platform, causing text labels to scale incorrectly with changes in display scaling settings. Specifically, when FontAutoScalingEnabled is set to false, the text size still increases with higher Windows display scaling factors, which should not occur according to the expected behavior.
