How does MAUI release cycle look like?

[lubiepomaranczki]

Hello there,
what is the MAUI release cycle? When can we expect service releases? 🤔

The team I'm working in is blocked by this issue.

@Redth wrote in this comment that this will be part of the service build but I can't find it anywhere.

It would be good to know the cycle of service releases, so people can decide whether to create a workaround or wait for the build. It will increase developer experience and help us plan our work.

When is the next service release scheduled?

This is a question, not really an "bug" or an issue, but it's a good conversation to have. I'm moving this to there so ya'll can talk about it.

sorry, wasn't aware of such GitHub feature as discussions! Thanks!

@lubiepomaranczki I just wanted to let you know that we are facing the same issue (#17706) and are also waiting for the SR1. I have been watching https://github.com/dotnet/maui/milestones and specifically https://github.com/dotnet/maui/milestones/.NET%208%20SR1 to check the progress. All SR1 issues are closed.

MAUI is part of .NET:
https://github.com/dotnet/maui/wiki

.NET MAUI ships with each .NET release on a monthly cadence.

The updates are released

on the Microsoft "Patch Tuesday" (second Tuesday of each month)

You could also try the Maui Nightly Builds: https://github.com/dotnet/maui/wiki/Nightly-Builds
This builds should include your blocking issue.

thanks for the answer! We are fully aware of those.

Unfortunately, to my knowledge, there was no release in December - "Patch Tuesday" didn't happen since .NET 8 was released.

About nightly builds, in my opinion, that is not production ready solution. I won't risk releasing my app on that.

I still believe some schedule should be helpful. Especially now, when there are many things that don't work.

A bit confused here... I've never seen Maui updated via "Patch Tuesday", only via Visual Studio releases.

We are also stuck on this issue and have resort to keep using maui 8.0.0-nightly until it's fixed in the public release
