Hello,

It's a known issue reported at GitHub- [iOS] MAUI Theme breaks when system prompt visible · Issue #19614 · dotnet/maui (github.com)

As described in the issue, you could try handling themes yourself by setting UserAppTheme.

Please see Detect the current system theme and Set the current user theme.

Best Regards,

I've tried to use AppThemeBidning But Even in Dark mode I am getting Light Mode appearance. Dark mode is not working properly.

<Style x:Key="FrameStyle" TargetType="Frame"> <Setter Property="CornerRadius" Value="12" /> <Setter Property="Margin" Value="0" /> <Setter Property="FlexLayout.Basis" Value="50%" /> <Setter Property="BackgroundColor" Value="{AppThemeBinding Light=Green, Dark=Yellow}" </Style>

Please check dark-mode.jpeg file, which is a picture , my system is on Dark mode but still I am getting the value which is set for Light Mode.

I've tried AppthemeBinding but even thoough my Device (IOS/ Android) is on Dark mode. They are detecting only Light mode value.

Please refer dark-mode.jpeg.

<ImageButton Style="{StaticResource ImageStyle}" BackgroundColor="{Binding ItemColor}"/> <Label Grid.Column="1" CharacterSpacing="1" Text="{Binding Title}" Style="{StaticResource LabelStyle}"/> </Grid> </Frame> <Setter Property="CornerRadius" Value="12" /> <Setter Property="Margin" Value="0" /> <Setter Property="FlexLayout.Basis" Value="50%" /> <Setter Property="BackgroundColor" Value="{AppThemeBinding Light=Green, Dark=Yellow}" /> </Style>

Your settings and styles are right. You could try handling themes like the description in the reported issue.

protected override void OnAppearing() { base.OnAppearing(); Microsoft.Maui.Controls.Application.Current.UserAppTheme = Microsoft.Maui.Controls.Application.Current.RequestedTheme; }

This issue is open at GitHub, please follow the progress.

I've tried OnAppearing method to resolve that but still the same problem persist for the dark mode, it is not fetching value.

I've debug and observed App Theme is detected as Light even though it is in dark mode. check this debug-value.jpeg. This Light value is when the system was on dark mode while debugging.
