~This might be covered by https://github.com/dotnet/docs-maui/issues/1288 (coming in .NET 8).~

Hi! It looks like .NET 8 was released. I am wondering if they already fixed this issue.

Hi @jmvildoza

Afraid not. AFAIK, it's not something that needs fixing per se. Rather it's missing functionality. But it is possible to do this by writing your own .NET Android code to do this.
