Application programmed in xamarin with outdated time zone times due to changes of time zones in Mexico by the government of Mexico in 2023

Hello Microsoft friends, I have noticed that the application that we programmed in xamarin does not have updated time zone times in Mexico due to changes in the time zone in Mexico issued by the Mexican government in almost the entire country. How can I have the zone times updated time in my app developed in xamarin?

Please file a bug in the appropriate Github repo. You don't say what platforms you're running into this on or which API you're using, but this is probably at the mono level which would be https://github.com/mono/mono .

Windows should be covered by https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/daylight-saving-time-time-zone/mexico-2023-time-zone-updates-now-available/ba-p/3749684

Thanks for answering. We build the app in Xamarin in Visual Studio 2022 and then upload the app to Azure DevOps. How can we have the updated Mexico time zones in Xamarin in Visual Studio 2022?

On further look, mono appears to read the time zone info from the underlying platform, in which case you'd need to update your device OS not your app.
If your device has the right time zone info but the app does not then please file a bug with details on the platform you're running into this on and where it is exposed in your code, and how the expected and actual behaviour differs.

Hello, the android phone system that I use for testing is a real android and it has the updated time zone times, I have the correct time, but in the app we developed it gets the difference of one hour, the application registered the correct time before time zone time updates in Mexico. the error occurred when the hours in Mexico were updated

I have run the application test again, if you send a message requesting the current time it gives you the correct time, but if you request the time and date it is saved from the database in UTC 0 format, at the moment it does not convert it correctly to the user's time and date based on their time zone in Mexico, resulting in a time difference, for example, if the time saved in the database at UTC 0 is 5:00 p.m. In Merida, Yucatan, Mexico, when displaying the time in the app, it must display the time as 11:00 AM. m., instead shows the time of 10:00 a.m. with a delay of one hour less Why is this happening? and how to fix it?

I solved the problem, the error was not in the application the error was in the outdated time zone database. you just need to update the data from linux in the server

sudo apt update

sudo apt install tzdata
