Pasting into MAUI text entry does not work on iOS

[ss-proc]

Description

Pasting into the MAUI text entry does not work. I have verified that I am able to paste the data into other iOS apps (like messages). See video here:

Steps to Reproduce

Open the Maui samples task app https://github.com/dotnet/maui-samples/tree/main/6.0/Beginners-Series

Or create from scratch

1. Create new maui app
2. Add a simple text entry

<Entry x:Name="entry"
       Placeholder="Enter text"
       TextChanged="OnEntryTextChanged"
       Completed="OnEntryCompleted" />

3. Run the app on iOS
4. Type something into the text entry
5. Select and copy the text in the entry
6. Try to paste it into the text entry

I am also experiencing this issue. Further, in iOS 16, selecting text crashes the application.

Is there no workaround?

Really is not important that an application crashes when you paste a text in any field?? I have the same problem in iOS 16…

So we are now able to paste into the textbox with iOS16. I'm sitting at the in-laws now, so can't verify, but I believe the handler solved it, along with the tapping crash.

#if ANDROID

using AndroidX.AppCompat.Widget;
#elif IOS || MACCATALYST
using UIKit;
#elif WINDOWS
using Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Controls;
using Microsoft.UI.Xaml;
#endif

namespace PayProff.NativeApp.Controls
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Entry created to ensure similar behavior across platforms
    /// </summary>
    public static class UnifiedEntry
    {
   
        public static void ApplyHandler()
        {
#if IOS
            //Should ensure that tapping the entry multiple times does not crash the app
            Microsoft.Maui.Handlers.EntryHandler.PlatformViewFactory = handler => new WorkaroundMauiTextField();
#endif
        }


    }

#if IOS
    public class WorkaroundMauiTextField : Microsoft.Maui.Platform.MauiTextField
    {
        public WorkaroundMauiTextField() : base()
        {
            //Ensures that the textbox has no border
            BorderStyle = UIKit.UITextBorderStyle.None; //UIKit.UITextBorderStyle.RoundedRect; <-- Part of the original fix
            ClipsToBounds = true;
        }

        [Foundation.Export("selectedTextRange")]
        public new UIKit.UITextRange SelectedTextRange
        {
            get => base.SelectedTextRange;
            set => base.SelectedTextRange = value;
        }
    }
#endif
}

The same one, but on Windows 11 (Maui Blazor)

How to make custom entry to disable paste option/menu for iOS because in ios16.1.1 pasting on entry causing crashing of app.???

How we can override a method in custom handler like handler.PlatformView.CanPerform()?

[jfversluis]

Can anyone confirm this is still an issue? Tried this just now and it seems to work fine for me.

dotnet workload update maui

dotnet workload update is enough I guess

[sunnamed434]

confirm that on Windows 11 (Maui Blazor) everything is ok now

[Priyabaghelgithub]

Solution : Entry pasting issue is fixed after updating to latest .net.

Open the project. Open Developer command prompt. Run the cmd : dotnet workload update Also run cmd : dotnet workload restore Configure net7.0 or latest .Net version in cs.proj file.
