With iOS 26's Liquid Glass design, the Shell tab bar floats over content, which broke a .NET MAUI iPad layout, and an Xcode 27 build crashed at launch. The author walks through the UIScene migration, SafeAreaEdges-based page insets, and a map inside a WebView. It is a practical guide for MAUI developers targeting iOS 26 and 27.
MauiReactor is a library that brings the MVU (Model-View-Update) pattern to .NET MAUI, letting you define UI in fluent C# without XAML or bindings. This article builds a habit tracker step by step, covering stateful components, [Prop] parameters for child components and how SetState triggers re-rendering. It is a useful starting point for developers curious about a reactive alternative to MVVM, keeping in mind the library is not officially supported by the .NET MAUI team.
While moving a field sales app from Xamarin.Forms to .NET MAUI, the author found catalog scrolling janky on older Android tablets even though the business logic was fast. She measured frame times with dumpsys gfxinfo and cut the worst stutter through list virtualization, data preparation, and simpler row templates. The result is a concrete, number-backed guide for anyone tuning MAUI collection views.
Allan Ritchie of Shiny introduced Shiny.UniversalHubs, which serves the same BLE Hubs contract over Wi-Fi as well. One hub implementation and one contract work on both transports, and the client chooses which one to prefer. For .NET MAUI developers building multiplayer or nearby-device apps, it shows a concrete way past Bluetooth's range and bandwidth limits.
.NET MAUI 10.0.120 is out with 213 commits focused on quality. The release fixes BlazorWebView memory leaks and disconnect issues, several CollectionView regressions on iOS and Android, plus Editor, Entry and TimePicker behavior. If you ship MAUI apps with CollectionView or Blazor Hybrid, these fixes are worth checking against your app.
iOS apps built with Xcode 27 must adopt the UIKit scene lifecycle, or they can vanish right after the splash screen. Microsoft explains an agent skill that prepares existing .NET MAUI projects, plus the manual steps for the scene delegate, Info.plist manifest and minimum OS versions. It also covers moving AppDelegate callbacks to scene events.
Shiny.Net.Http is a library that keeps file uploads and downloads running in the background on iOS, Android and other platforms, even when the app is suspended or killed. Its queue survives restarts and supports retries, pause and resume. It is a practical alternative to hand-written retry loops for mobile teams.
A developer's hands-on testing surfaced eight .NET MAUI accessibility problems that XAML alone does not reveal, covering screen reader names, headings, font scaling, and contrast. Each issue comes with a concrete fix or test step, which makes this a practical checklist before shipping a MAUI app.
