In Maui (Android 34) Widget hosting / configuring does not work in a launcher app owned by me

khatauli 61

I am migrating my Launcher app to Maui (From Xamarin Android).

Things seem to work seemlessly except that Widget hosting seems to be broken.

Debugging revealed that following call does not launche the configuration screen for widget unlike previous versions of Android (33 or lower). Did something change in Android 34 to cause the following call to not work. (I have not changed anything else in the code, so it is a mystery why it does not work as expected)

                    this.StartAppWidgetConfigureActivityForResult(this.MainActivity, widgetId, ActivityFlags., ActivityRequestCodes.CONFIGURE_APPWIDGET, null);

You can open the Device Log (click the Tools->Android->choose Device Log), then invoke above code, will you get some errors or exceptions?

Can you share code about creating Widget? That I can reproduce this issue.
