Existing Xamarin app support on iOS 18

There are limits to how much I can say here, given that this is primarily about third-party tooling. However, I can address a couple of points…

our current app (Xamarin forms) crashes on iOS 18 beta.

Apple platforms strive for binary compatibility, that is, an app running on version N of the OS should continue to run on version N+1. If you have an existing app on the App Store that fails on iOS 18 beta, you should file a bug about that.

Please post your bug number, just for the record.

Oh, and I wanna stress my use of the word strive here |-:

Beyond that, there’s the question of how you update your app. My main concern here is that Apple typically requires that apps be built with a modern SDK. For example, iOS 17 was released in Sep 2023 and we started requiring Xcode 15 in Apr 2024. If that trend continues, there’ll come a point where you’ll need to use Xcode 16 to build the app you submit. If you can’t find a way to get your third-party tooling to work with that setup, you’ll no longer be able to submit your app )-:

Much appreciated for your reply. Let me see if I can file a bug report and post the result here if I get through. Thanks again.

This might be happens if you set the NavigationPage.HasNavigationBar = false in xaml file or it in the constructor.

The simplest solution is that you can hide the NavigationBar in OnPageAppear and that will resolve this issue.

I am also having the same project and just removed NavigationPage.HasNavigationBar = false from .XAML file to .Xaml.cs and in OnViewAppear() method and it resolve the iOS 18.0 issue

Do we need to do the same in all pages.
