I'm currently working on a legacy app that previously utilized the MediaPlugin library, which allowed for customization of photo quality through options like PhotoSize. In particular, we used the following code:

var file = await CrossMedia.Current.TakePhotoAsync(new StoreCameraMediaOptions
{
     PhotoSize = PhotoSize.Medium
});

With the transition to .NET MAUI, we've started using MediaPicker.Default.CapturePhotoAsync(). However, we encountered an issue on iPhone where the lack of photo quality customization is problematic. Specifically, our business rules impose a maximum file size of 5MB for uploaded photos. Without the ability to set the photo size or quality directly through MediaPicker, it becomes challenging to ensure compliance with these rules.

Hi MAUI team, Hi @jfversluis ,

We are struggling with our Xamarin Forms migration to MAUI. A classic Xamarin Forms targetting Android and iOS ; like a lot of other developers. We had several migrations tries over the last 2 years and always postponed the migration as we saw that a lot of parts were missing.

I'm sorry guys, but migrating a real worl app to MAUI is a pain right now ! Even if a big effort has been done by Microsoft, it is not enought. I'm so disapointed to write that lines because we really LOVE Microsoft.

This issue is one of planty of pains we currently have. Therefore, we are breaking a lot of things to make the app work... and the result is having a worst app than before.

We also have customers, as you, and they are/will complain by having a less qualitative app. We are evaluating to rebuild the app from scratch and also testing other frameworks. It's a pity but we have no choice.

When I take a look to the backlog, I know that a lot of features (or bug fixes) will take a long time to come... if they come one day.

Like this issue, having a basic set of options for MediaPicker is a must have for a cross platform app (resolution, compression, camera selection).

So sad to have to write this... 😣
