MAUI .NET 8 iOS - Method not found: SkiaSharp.SKMatrix SkiaSharp.SKMatrix.MakeTranslation(single,single)

Question

I have created a new MAUI .NET 8 project and migrated the Xamarin forms project code.

I am facing an exception as below when loading the SVG image,

Unhandled Exception:

System.MissingMethodException: Method not found: SkiaSharp.SKMatrix SkiaSharp.SKMatrix.MakeTranslation(single,single)

This is my code,

svg.Load(stream); throws this exception.

using (var stream = GetImageStream(svgName.Replace(".PNG", ".svg").Replace(".png", ".svg"), imagePath))
{
    if (stream != null)
    {
        svg = new SkiaSharp.Extended.Svg.SKSvg();
        svg.Load(stream);
        SVGComponentImage[$"{key}"] = svg;
    }
}

How do I resolve this issue?

Answer 1

The SkiaSharp.Extended.Svg library is very old and does not support any new SkiaSharp versions. It is highly likely that is will not work.

This library was very minimal, so it was not worth keeping when there was a vastly superior library that does basically all you can ever want with SVG: https://github.com/wieslawsoltes/Svg.Skia

Please use Svg.Skia instead.
