How can I prevent the device font size effect of a MAUI iOS app?

Question

When ever I change the font size in the iOS device, that font size is effecting on the MAUI application. I want to restrict that.

---

I want to restrict that in my maui application. I can able to do that in the Android application by adding this piece of code in the main activity

 protected override void AttachBaseContext(Context @base)
 {
     Configuration configuration = new(@base.Resources.Configuration)
     {
         FontScale = 1.0f
     };
     ApplyOverrideConfiguration(configuration);
     base.AttachBaseContext(@base);
 }

How to achieve the similar functionality in the iOS .?

Thanks

Hello,

On iOS platform, you cannot avoid this feature by setting configurations. The only way is to set scaling Fonts Automatically, and MAUI provide a FontAutoScalingEnabled property for text-based controls such as Label, Button, Editor and so on.

For more details, please refer to Fonts in .NET MAUI - .NET MAUI | Microsoft Learn

<Label ...
       FontAutoScalingEnabled="False" />
<Button FontAutoScalingEnabled="False"
               />

            <Entry FontAutoScalingEnabled="False"></Entry>

            <Editor FontAutoScalingEnabled="False"></Editor>

Best Regards,
