Version 1.61 for Android was released October 9th. It contained a number of fixes mostly cosmetic. And iOS version is about to release which will also address some minor issues so it too will be released for Android.
There are still a few issues that are waiting on Microsoft to fix. Why Microsoft? That’s because I’ve used their cross platform framework for years, first Xamarin and now MAUI. And it’s been aggravating to migrate the Xamarin Pro to MAUI.
Microsoft has been looking into Preferences which is used for Settings in Pro. I know some have complained that GPS isn’t sticking once you set it. This is a problem the MAUI team has noticed. Seems that in Pro everything else in Settings sticks except GPS.
Printing a full page report when glyphs are used are not working so that is turned off but English and Sanskrit do work and available. The problem is with webview in MAUI which uses Chromium which doesn’t allow an app provided font. There is a fix for that in the works. BTW, iOS does work with glyphs.
Finally delaying the Windows version is a solution for Maps which is handy if you are looking for the coordinates for some small town that isn’t in the atlas which is limited to cities with population of 100 or above. The atlas in the Xamarin version for Windows has a little message in the lower right corner that the license for it has expired but all that means is I couldn’t use it in the MAUI version. And that the MAUI team has been working on that.
“Haste makes waste” and that what I was forced into since MAUI really wasn’t that stable but Xamarin hasn’t been supported in over a year. For Android any update had to be done by August 31st this year which put many developers between a rock and a hard place.
