on GitHub

Known Issues

• Black splash screens on iOS 16.5+ simulators
  The splash screen on iOS simulators are sometimes black if you are not using a developer certificate. Splash screens will still appear on older simulators (such as iOS 15.5) or if you are doing a release build.
  See more xamarin/xamarin-macios#18469
• Always-visible scrollbars on iOS
  The iOS scroll view does not always size correctly and you may always see a scrollbar.
  See more #17224
• Installing .NET MAUI workload fails with signing errors
  Make sure you're using the latest RC1 SDK.

What's Changed

• New duplicate image errors
  After updating to RC 1, you may see an error about duplicate files (such as with image resources) and this is because previously we did not check for duplicates and the image that was selected was arbitrary. From RC 1, we are now checking to ensure there are no duplicates. Make sure that if you have globs including images, you are not also including images again and instead Update:

  <ItemGroup>
      <MauiImage Include="Resources\Images\*" />
      <!-- this will causes an error: -->
      <MauiImage Include="Resources\Images\myimage.svg" Color="Red" />
      <!-- this will NOT result in an error: -->
      <MauiImage Update="Resources\Images\myimage.svg" Color="Red" />
  </ItemGroup>

• Changes to the way RIDs work
  Although not directly affecting .NET MAUI apps/libraries right now, there was a change to the way the RIDs work in .NET 8 RC 1: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/compatibility/sdk/8.0/rid-graph
