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, and infrastructure updates. Key highlights involve resolving UI and navigation issues, improving handler and threading stability, updating dependencies, and extensive test case additions to ensure robustness.

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. Keyboard Numeric is not working in iOS: This issue reports that the numeric keyboard on iOS devices, specifically on an iPad running iPadOS 26.0.1 with .NET MAUI 10.0.0-rc.2, is missing a decimal point and a negative sign, and the keyboard appears floating rather than fixed at the bottom as preferred. The user highlights that this is a regression from previous .NET MAUI behavior and no direct workaround was initially found, prompting investigation and discussion on possible solutions and limitations imposed by iOS.

   • The comments confirm the issue is related to changes in iOS 26 and clarify that the default iOS decimal keyboard does not include a negative sign by design. A workaround involving customizing the keyboard with an accessory toolbar to add a +/- toggle button was shared and demonstrated with sample code, though the keyboard position cannot be controlled programmatically due to iOS restrictions. Users reported partial success with the workaround but noted the decimal point still appears as a comma due to locale settings, suggesting custom parsing as a temporary fix, while hoping for a more permanent resolution in the future.
   • Number of comments this week: 9

2. Switch away from the root WASDK package to the smaller WinUI package: This issue discusses the transition from using the root Windows App SDK (WASDK) package to adopting smaller, more modular WinUI packages as introduced in Windows App SDK 1.8. It highlights the benefits of reduced app size and version flexibility, while also addressing concerns about ecosystem readiness, compatibility with third-party libraries, and the potential impact on API availability and deployment strategies.

   • The comments emphasize the need for careful consideration and collaboration with partners to avoid breaking changes, noting that while the modular approach has been available for six months, adoption is still limited. They clarify that current support only allows strict subsetting rather than full mix-and-match of package versions, and stress that developers should have the choice to include only necessary components, which requires dependent libraries to move away from referencing the metapackage.
   • Number of comments this week: 3

3. [Editor] RTL mode: Space rendering inconsistent across platforms (Windows, macOS, iOS): This issue describes inconsistent rendering of spaces in the Editor control of .NET MAUI when using Right-to-Left (RTL) text flow across different platforms, specifically Windows, macOS, and iOS. It highlights that spaces either appear delayed or fail to render entirely, especially when spaces are added dynamically via code, with Android being the only platform where spaces render correctly immediately.

   • The comments confirm the issue has been validated across multiple .NET MAUI versions and platforms including Windows, iOS, and macOS, with consistent reproduction of the problem despite ensuring the correct versions are installed.
   • Number of comments this week: 2

4. [Android][.NET9] CollectionView Reorderer doesn't work when using TemplateSelector: This issue reports that using a TemplateSelector in a CollectionView on Android breaks the ability to reorder items via drag and drop, which is unexpected behavior. The user provides a minimal reproduction project and suspects the problem might be related to grouping but does not consider it a duplicate of existing issues.

   • The comments confirm the issue is reproducible on multiple MAUI versions and Android, and a workaround is shared involving a custom TemplateContentView that manually applies the template selector, mimicking WPF’s ContentControl behavior to restore reordering functionality.
   • Number of comments this week: 2

5. Event on TapGestureRecognizer not called anymore since MAUI 9.0.110 (if there is an Android.Views.View.Touch event with e.Handled = false): This issue reports that since updating to MAUI version 9.0.110, the TapGestureRecognizer's Tapped event no longer fires on Android when there is a Touch event handler setting e.Handled = false. Previously, this workaround did not interfere with TapGestureRecognizer, but the recent update introduced a regression causing the tap event to be ignored if e.Handled is false in the Touch event.

   • The comments confirm the issue is reproducible starting from MAUI 9.0.110 on Android and identify it as a regression linked to a specific pull request, providing validation across multiple MAUI versions and platforms.
   • Number of comments this week: 2

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 fail to bind correctly in XAML for a bindable property within a custom control, with the setter method not being triggered during the binding process. It affects all versions on iOS and Android platforms, and the suggested workaround is to avoid using nullable enums by adding an explicit unset or none value to the enum instead.
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 on Windows version 10.0.19041.0 using version 8.0.80 SR8 of the software, and no workaround has been identified so far.
3. Global defined EventTriggers get triggered twice: This issue describes a problem where EventTriggers defined globally in a style cause the associated invoke method to be called twice, resulting in duplicate event handling. The user notes that applying the EventTrigger through a named style with a key triggers the method only once, indicating the problem is specific to globally defined styles in the Maui framework 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 in .NET MAUI where ArcSegments used to draw large arcs greater than 180 degrees are occasionally offset from their expected starting positions, causing clipping and misalignment especially when overlaid on correctly drawn arcs. 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 breaking the arc into smaller segments or manually drawing arcs with line segments.
5. .NET Maui does not support FontAutoScalingEnabled for windows platform: This issue highlights that the .NET Maui framework does not properly support the FontAutoScalingEnabled property on the Windows platform, causing text labels to scale incorrectly when display scaling settings are changed. 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.
