Make Shell compatible with the other page types in .NET MAUI
Currently Shell can't render TabbedPage, FlyoutPage, or NavigationPage. With Xamarin.Forms the Android shell was too incompatible to make this ever work.
The .NET MAUI NavigationPage/TabbedPage/FlyoutPage on .NET MAUI for Android now use pretty much the exact same structures so if they can just be taught to communicate better then they can work together.
On WinUI the same base handlers are used for NP/TabbedPage/FlyoutPage/Shell so again we just need to make everyone communicate better.
Once we convert iOS to handlers the story will be the same for iOS
We've moved this issue to the Backlog milestone. This means that it is not going to be worked on for the coming release. We will reassess the backlog following the current release and consider this item at that time. To learn more about our issue management process and to have better expectation regarding different types of issues you can read our Triage Process.
I would really like to see that to easily add a tablet version to our app by reusing the FlyoutPage base for some layouts in shell!
@de-preut can you elaborate? Shell and FlyoutPage are pretty much the same thing right now from a platform stand point they just have different xplat constructs.

We are asked by our UX team to develop a (more complex) tablet layout and want to keep the benefits we see in the shell approach (with url-like navigation etc). For this we need to have a "main/detail page" (aka FlyoutPage) in the first shell tab, to display a collection of items and their detail page at the same time.
we tried to mimic such a behaviour with simple views (instead of ContentPage) but didn't get the shell navigation to work nicely with it and it felt somewhat hacky (we also had to forward some page events to our view models manually).
To have an official support for a FlyoutPage as the content of shell tabs would eliminate the risk of a hacky solution all together.
How can I achieve this UI with current MAUI limitations?

This issue (https://github.com/dotnet/maui/issues/7615) has been blocking me from migrating for six months now
@PureWeen any updates on this topic? I still think to be able to embed those page types into shell could help me with my layout requirements (see https://github.com/dotnet/maui/discussions/10868)
For complex Enterprise Apps , where navigation goes multiple levels deep , We need to be able to use tabbed pages with shell navigation. We have been stuck with migration from Xamarin forms, since the time MAUI has been released. MAUI being a replacement for Xamarin forms, how can we go ahead if critical UI functionality is not supported ?
Any news about Tabbedpage approach with MAUI ?
I'm worried about the Xamarin end of support and MAUI being so incomplete.
Sometime Google will force devs to use API 34, so we can't publish xamarin apps anymore.
Is this issue going to be solved ? Once the support for Xamarin ends in may 2024, the app store will pull support too. What will we do with our existing Apps ? Recode the entire navigation without using shell ? We work with Enterprise application that requires complex UI navigation going deep multiple levels. Is it even under consideration for fixing ?

Someday, yes. For now as solution you can use uraniumUi or devexpress both free both have working tab page

Performance implications ? The only thing stopping me from considering migration to flutter or something similar is the sheer amount of shared code that we will have to write again
MAUI .Net 8 is out , Tabbed Pages is still not supported on Shell Navigation, Will we have to ditch Xamarin and MAUI ? @samhouts
I will have to be ditching the Shell altogether if it doesn't add support for Tabbed Pages any time soon. Prism or UraniumUI is the way to go. It's a shame MAUI is missing essential UI features when it's presented as Microsoft's flagship product for creating multi-platform UI
I also cannot migrate to Maui until Tabbed Pages are supported in Shell navigation.
Any news ? I'm also stuck for migration my current applications to MAUI.
Why not use the MAUI.Blazor and have your app run everywhere WebUI can do everything just see the websites the web app You can execute .NET code directly on that platform outside of the browser You can not implement twitter or youtube using xamarin but Microsoft use web framework for the UI for a lot of their apps I heard, mostly electron framework Why are you around here speaking to Microsoft for feeling difficult to use their framework for your business when they don't even use it For me it's because I can provide advice on how to do MAUI properly : Invent your own browser that has a JS engine and a .NET interpreter (Google can put golang in their chrome browser, firefox can put rust in their browser, but a lot people use .NET) 3rd times is a charm maybe Microsoft can make a browser again If Microsoft is not ambitious enough to create a browser and let you use html / xaml / even any language via some Application Binary Interface for you to write UI in python or Haskell etc, supporting a DOM which can be interacted from code and you can put things on the DOM to display on screen having .NET to be the platform for all the languages to pretend to be Javascript in our browsers today, at least you can have MAUI.Blazor Arent you tired writing XAML, don't you desire freedom as a programmer and hold the code you write to the same standard as the artistic values you have to give to your codes in your heart, prcedural / functional / build the AI model to render your UI why so limited to this shit framework
Don't hide this post I am your vibrant community member, I am just a dish washer, and I can see these problems
Xamarin related technology aren't productive
Hi, any news regarding this, I have an Xamarin app can't be migrated because of this issue related to navigating to tabbed page. at least a work around should be introduced by development teams. even no comments from development teams. that's not good.
Is there any possibility that this will be looked into before the May deadline ?
Still nothing? This is unreal. I really want to like MAUI, but stuff like this is making it hard :(
Backlogged Aug 30, 2022 and zero updates since... Being able to use tabbed pages in a Shell app should absolutely have been a thing since release.
MAUI.Blazor is enough there is no need to use the 'actual' MAUI
Using Maui.Blazor you get a browser rendering UI for you, the amount of websites and webapp already proved whatever UI you wanna make it's possible if not performant, Maui.Blazor is running .NET natively too it's not bad
If you are pushing limits, I say use unity (game engine) to make your app, better let yourself set free than not able doing the things you want to do writing XAML

We donot want to use Blazor! Period!
Re-Engineering the entire navigation to not use shell just because Tabbed pages are not supported on Shell is not feasible. we might as well focus the effort to migrating the entire App eco system to flutter. Which takes away the only advantage we had when we chose Xamarin forms, code sharing across desktop apps and browser apps.
In 3 years there's gonna be AI solution trans-compiling C# to Mobile / Desktop and you can write codes that has spelling errors and use natural language and if the business relies on 'cross platform' technology it's the solution your boss wants
Maybe voice is going to get recorded during a meeting, the requirement from your boss is going to be given to the AI by one person, and everything get tested and a new version of the application would be available for testing in 2 hours

May be you havnt worked on anything beyond high school projects
@PureWeen Will this issue be ever fixed ? We might have to look for other option outside of .net , if this issue is not going to be fixed
