New MAUI fixes in 8.0.7 and a little bit about 9.0.0-preview!

We’ve got another MAUI release, 8.0.7 and I’m stoked to see 70 MAUI issues fixed, plus tests and a bit of documentation. I have to admit I’m mostly keen on the UI fixes and therefore I spent some time and took a look at the fixes and wrote a little summary.

MAUI UI specific fixes:

• Adjusted Android button to display correctly with a corner radius of 0.
• Enabled gesture management for views without a window reference.
• Fixed an issue where CollectionView SelectedItem’s BackgroundColor was always gray on iOS.
• Updated nullable annotations in IMediaPicker for clarity.
• Enhanced UI responsiveness in Android by scheduling layout requests during layout on the UI thread.
• Ensured text is cleared in Android Entry when using the clear button.
• Fixed the size calculation for the clear button in inputs.
• Corrected the gray color issue in iOS gradients when using transparency.
• Added converters for design-time data handling.
• Addressed an issue with the Flyout layout on iOS devices to display correctly.
• Corrected the calculation of positions by the GesturePlatformManager on macOS when a relative position is requested.
• Solved a problem where cells in a TableView on Android would disappear unexpectedly.
• Improved layout measurement by adjusting the handling of DesiredSize in Measure implementations.
• Corrected the offset behavior in SwipeRefreshLayout’s SetProgressViewOffset.
• Addressed a bug related to setting default properties when adding non-BindableObjects as children to AbsoluteLayout.
• Enhanced the FlyoutIsPresented property in Android to ensure the flyout menu opens as expected.
• Fixed an issue with the Label control where multiline text truncation did not respect the MaxLines or LineBreakMode settings.
• Implemented support for translucent and transparent NavigationBar on iOS.
• Adjusted size calculations in Editor to account for margins.
• Ensured fallback to the app-level dispatcher when the current thread dispatcher is null.

New fixes in 9.0.0-preview not in 8.0.7:

• Fix Developer Tools option setting for Blazor Hybrid Mac Catalyst view.
• Process the hardware enter key as “Done”.
• [Android] Fix gif animation initial state.
• Translucent and Transparent NavigationBar on iOS.
• Account for margins on sizes returned from Editor.
• If the current thread dispatcher is null return the app level dispatcher.
• Move Legacy ListViewDoesntFreezeApp to Appium.
• Ignore SafeArea on templates and shell flyout item templates.
• Bring back some aspect of ConvertView on TableView and avoid AT_MOST Measure.
