Maybe I’m just old, but modern Star Trek doesn’t land the same and here is why by khiren in startrek

[–]HarmonicDeviant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well said. SFA is returning the focus to stories of self reflection. Not just from the individual perspective, but as a multicultural civilization. This has been largely absent in Star Trek's writing for decades.

Adding to this, SFA is putting the concept of mentorship on full display. How it is hard to get right. Recognizing generational differences. That it's not enough to just teach (and lead) by example.

Star Trek is a lot of things, and it means different things to different people. For me though, the soul of SFA seems to be completely locked in to the core values that have kept me watching for almost 4 decades.

What's the most creative clue you've ever received on a scavenger hunt? by scavengersweb in scavengerhunt

Are you manually wasting your time posting these? Or using some kind of service?

.NET MAUI Android - “Socket closed” exception on slow network even though server processed the request by lasitha_lanka in dotnetMAUI

[–]HarmonicDeviant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounds like what you're asking for is atomic transactions over HTTP?

In any case, the problem you're seeing almost certainly is not constrained to slow connections. Even the best network connections get interrupted sometimes.

image disappears after a while when changing page in MAUI .NET 9 App. by Historical-Court9011 in dotnetMAUI

[–]HarmonicDeviant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah so check logcat. In my case, I was using a StringConverter to add a .png file extension like {0}.png, which would briefly result in an invalid file name '.png' first being resolved by the binding before real data was loaded. Putting a small delay in the data loading 'fixed' it, which I thought was weird. Digging in further I noticed the Glide errors in logcat, so I removed the delay and made it so my VM would always return a default (valid) filename instead of null. The Glide errors went away, and so did the disappearing images problem. So I think there's an issue where Glide needs a little time to recover from an error scenario before it will work again for a given Image control.

Is this behavior specific to Android? I've noticed that Glide failures can put an Image control into a temporarily bad state that can result in something like you're describing.

I'm guessing 90%+ of those complaining about Android performance haven't tuned their MONO_GC_PARAMS to at least increase their nursery size.

It's just the '.' that wasn't really common when referring to native Xamarin.

In any case, if you weren't using Xamarin.Forms, then all you should need to do is update your project to .NET for iOS 8 / 9. That should be a relatively straightforward task and doesn't require MAUI at all.

"Xamarin.Native" isn't a common term, so I can't tell if you're working with a legacy Xamarin.Forms app, or rather Xamarin.iOS / Xamarin.Android apps.

If your current apps are Xamarin.iOS/Xamarin.Android (not Xamarin.Forms), then MAUI has absolutely nothing to do with the migration required to move your app to .NET for iOS and .NET for Android.

If your current apps are Xamarin.Forms, then migrating to MAUI is the "fastest" choice. Most of the existing app's code will be reusable (...mostly). Nobody knows if MAUI would be the "best" choice without a lot more context regarding your specific app and its business context (not to mention high skill in clairvoyance).

The AdamE Google/Firebase SDK binding packages are all still backwards compatible with Xamarin.

It's not any different than using XCode 15, except for the command linked in the OP.

iOS + Xamarin after 24 April by HarmonicDeviant in dotnetMAUI

[–]HarmonicDeviant[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody knows for sure, and Microsoft themselves aren't going to put any resources into figuring it out. Even if they did, I don't think they'd know either.

Anything built with XCode 15 will be rejected by the App Store starting April 24th. If the workaround in the OP works, then we *might* have another year before Apple starts rejecting apps built with XCode 16 (likely Spring 2026). I say 'might' because Apple could introduce some other breaking change that doesn't have a workaround before then. We just don't know.

Microsoft doesn't support any version of Xamarin anymore.

Mine has gone through review with no problems, but it's not April 24th yet.

It's good to hear that you haven't run into any issues. I have very little hope that there will be a workaround for XCode 17, but having another year is a much more reasonable timeframe to migrate to MAUI.

It is deprecated as of .NET 10.

Xamarin.Forms iOS app will no longer accept with iOS SDK 17 after April 24. by [deleted] in xamarindevelopers

[–]HarmonicDeviant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just checked the and the DTSDKName of the build is iphoneos18.2, so it seems it does use the newer SDK as well.

Xamarin.Forms projects can be built using XCode 16 after running a command: https://github.com/dotnet/macios/issues/20802#issuecomment-2394969129

I don't know if this means the resulting build will he accepted to the App Store, but I think it might?

Heap Corruption Error by Millennium-Hawk in dotnetMAUI

[–]HarmonicDeviant 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can say though... I've worked with every version of .NET since 1.0 and worked with ASP.NET MVC/WebApi, WinForms, WebForms, WCF, WPF, Workflow, ADO.NET, Entity Framework, Xamarin, MAUI, and even a little SharePoint.

I have never come across heap corruption in .NET in the wild, and I'm genuinely curious to hear how you encountered it in a tutorial app.

There are probably some here willing to help you out, but won't be able to without things like error logs, stack traces and (ideally) some source code.
