Customer Impact
Several customers reported that they are unable to use the
NetworkChange
API in their MAUI apps. Due to a change in permissions in recent Android versions (12+), the previous implementation doesn't work anymore. Some customers will be able to use Xamarin.Essentials: Connectivity but for the rest, we provide a new implementation that will work with the Android permission restrictions.Testing
Tested on a physical Android device and on Android emulators.
Risk
Low.
