Resizing the screen when an Entry gets focused in .NET MAUI
When an entry field gets focused, the software keyboard appears, potentially covering the entry field. To provide a better user experience, you need to adjust the screen layout so that the entry field remains visible. First, create a parent class for your views, deriving from ContentPage, and add a HaveKeyboardOffsetProperty. iOS Solution: Next, create the PageElementMapper class to handle the keyboard appearance and adjust the screen layout. Finally, register the mapper in the MauiProgram.cs file. Android solution: On Android, you can use a PropertyChanged method of the HasKeyboardOffset: Remarks The provided solution offers a way to manage this in .NET MAUI on iOS. However, always be open to improvements and share your solutions with the community for better practices. This might not be the best solution to do it.
.NET MAUI Hide software keyboard when tapping out of an Entry on iOS
To hide the software keyboard when the user taps outside the entry field, set the HideSoftInputOnTapped property to True in your ContentPage definition. Please note that the HideSoftInputOnTapped property might not work as expected when tapping on certain controls like ScrollView. In such cases, you might need to implement a custom behavior to handle keyboard dismissal.
.NET MAUI iOS – Azure Pipelines error: ‘x’ is not available in iOS 16
This content has 11 months. Some of the information in this post may be out of date or no longer work. Please, read this page keeping its age in your mind.The Error: The error message suggests that the ‘UIKit.UISceneSessionActivationRequest’ type, used as a parameter in ‘UIKit.UIApplication.ActivateSceneSession,’ is not available in iOS 16.2 and was introduced in iOS 17.0. This discrepancy indicates a version misalignment in the development environment, specifically with the iOS SDK and Xcode. Root cause The root cause of this error lies in the version of the macOS image used in the Azure Pipelines configuration. By default, the ‘macOS-latest’ image is pulled, which corresponds to macOS 12 (at the time of the blog post). However, the .NET MAUI app with Azure Pipelines requires macOS v13 to work seamlessly, as it aligns with the necessary dependencies for iOS development. Resolution To resolve this error, developers need to update the macOS image specified in the Azure Pipelines configuration. Instead of using ‘macOS-latest,’ the configuration should be modified to use ‘macOS-13.’ This ensures that the appropriate version of macOS is utilized during the build process, addressing the compatibility issues with iOS 16.2 and the required UIKit types. Step-by-Step -Open your Azure Pipelines configuration file (typically named azure-pipelines.yml).-Locate the section where the macOS image is specified. It might look something like this: -Update the image reference to ‘macOS-13’: -Save the changes to the configuration file.-Commit the updated configuration file to your version control system (e.g., Git).-Trigger a new build in Azure Pipelines,…
