namespace Android.Widget not available for net7.0-maccatalyst

Question

I'm trying to use the ImageView class from Android.Widget.

For some reason I cannot build my code beacuse the namespec Android.Widget does not seem to be available for net7.0-maccatalyst.

Looking through my project Dependencies I can see that the framework where I would expect to find this, Mono.Android, is infact missing in net7.0-maccatalyst. It is available in net7.0-android.

Any suggestion how to solve, or workaround, this would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

This error is expected.

In MAUI, you need to add conditional judgment statements to the code and namespaces for a specific platform. See the code and documentation below.

#if ANDROID
using Android.Widget;
#endif

• Invoke platform code.
