Fixed issues

On

 15 or later, if a user sent an app to the background and then returned it to the foreground, some hidden UI elements may have displayed and caused the app to become unresponsive. (GD-59834)

Known issues

  • On
    Android
    , if an app displays dialog from an activity that was already destroyed, the app will stop functioning.
    Workaround

    BlackBerry Dynamics SDK for Microsoft.Maui
     package. For more information, see 15024
  • The UI Preferences for Microsoft Visual Studio experiences issues for SingleProject type projects and projects where multiple or specific mobile OS target versions are specified. Developers should always use source code in the .csproj file for reference. For more information, see 10316394.
  • User interface tests on
    iOS
     16 are not yet working due to Xamarin packages incompatibility. For details, developers should refer to the information from Microsoft https://github.com/microsoft/appcenter/issues/2475 to see when this issue is resolved and they can update relevant packages.
