.Net 9.0 Maui needed from november first to be able to release new version to Google play store?
I got a message today from the google play console stating that my app must support 16 kb memory page sizes by november 1, 2025. If I don't fix this by november 1st 2025 I will not be able to release update for these apps anymore.
I've been trying to figure out today what needs to be done for my Maui apps and 1 Xamarin.Forms app.
Do I get it correctly that I have to upgrade my maui apps to .Net 9.0, because this supports android target framework 35 (net9.0-android35) and I need this target framework to handle the 16kb issue?
I found this on the microsoft website:
And the experiments I did seem to point in this direction.
So the question is do I need to upgrade to .Net maui 9.0 for this and also start with transforming that 1 Xamarin.Forms app to Maui to get this 16kb issue worked out, or are there other (less intruisive) solutions?
We’re seeing this issue in both our Xamarin and .NET MAUI 8 apps; upgrading to .NET MAUI 9 looks like the only option.
On the plus side, you can request an extension until end of May 2026. Simply click the 16 KB support notification and select “Request additional time.”
Google Play deadline extension
To meet the Google Play requirement for Android API Level 35, simply add the following to your manifest file:
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="32" android:targetSdkVersion="35" />
Depending on the size of your app, it may be wise to begin porting to MAUI soon anyway. In our experience, the process can be lengthy and often frustrating.
