iOS builds set DynamicCodeSupport=false, so EF Core refuses to build the model even though you never enabled NativeAOT. Ship a compiled model plus precompiled queries, or turn the interpreter back on.

The APK has no native library for the device's CPU. Since .NET 9 the default Android RuntimeIdentifiers are 64-bit only, so the fix is to set RuntimeIdentifiers explicitly. Covers ADB0020, XA0036, NETSDK1083, the ABI to RID mapping, the Play Console wording, and why the four-RID snippet everyone copies breaks on .NET 11.

MAUI 10.0.100 ships MauiBlazorWebViewBuilderExtensions.UsePlatformHandler, a supported seam for replacing BlazorWebViewHandler without reimplementing everything AddMauiBlazorWebView() registers. Two overloads, one ordering trap.

Play rejects the bundle because a 64-bit .so still has 4 KB ELF segments. Find the offending library, rebuild it with NDK r28+, and verify with zipalign -P 16.

A complete guide to passing data through Shell navigation in .NET MAUI 11: registering global routes, string query parameters, QueryPropertyAttribute vs IQueryAttributable, the URL-decoding asymmetry between the two, single-use ShellNavigationQueryParameters vs the IDictionary overload that leaks, passing data backwards with ..?key=value, and why QueryPropertyAttribute is not trim safe.

Port your ads layer from Xamarin.Forms to .NET MAUI: what to delete (MTAdmob, custom AdView renderers, Xamarin.GooglePlayServices.Ads bindings), what replaces it in Plugin.AdMob, and a line-by-line API mapping for banner, interstitial, rewarded, rewarded interstitial and app open — plus the singleton-to-DI shift and the UMP consent gap that stops ads serving in the EEA.

A practical, end-to-end guide to monetizing a .NET MAUI app with Google AdMob using Plugin.AdMob. Install one NuGet, call UseAdMob(), and wire up banner, interstitial, and rewarded ads — with consent built in via UMP, test ad units, the exact service APIs, preloading patterns, and a production checklist. Tested on .NET 10 / MAUI.

Plugin.AdMob now renders native video ads. Drop a MediaView into your NativeAdView template, request video with VideoOptions, and wire up the OnVideoStart/Play/Pause/End lifecycle events — including the custom-controls caveat that trips everyone up on AdMob inventory. Full walkthrough with a complete working example, tested on Android with the native video demo unit.

.NET 11 Preview 6 removes the separate Mono path for MAUI on Android, iOS, and Mac Catalyst. CoreCLR is now the only mobile runtime, the UseMonoRuntime escape hatch is closed, and GA is set for November 2026.

SkiaSharp 4.148.0 is the first stable v4 release. GPU-heavy UIs render up to 24% faster, CPU shaders run ~6x faster, and the legacy API surface is finally retired. Here is what upgrading actually costs you.
