Is everyone here using MAUI? Is the actual problem you're updating packages newer than what MAUI depends on? Doing that will end up in a lot of transitive dependency pain....

Ideally MAUI would only update their underlying packages for major releases, like going from .NET 9 to 10. It seems like them bumping the packages frequently is also an issue.

> why do we need to include more fresh versions? Yes, it doesn't seem like you would always need the latest. Is this just something that dependabot is doing (or...

As an alternative, you can do this to force a .NET 8 app to target API 35, in `AndroidManifest.xml`: ```xml ``` This will cause a build warning (message improved in...

That is a common issue pinned at the top here: * https://github.com/dotnet/android-libraries/issues * https://github.com/dotnet/android-libraries/issues/764 It can be resolved by updating packages, usually. Sometimes it requires you to list more dependencies...
