Disable iOS Swipe gestures in .NET 8.0 Maui

Question

Hi,

I am new to .Net Maui and trying to disable the iOS Swipe gestures in my .NET 8.0 Maui App.

I followed this example for Shell,:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1143556/how-to-disable-the-swipe-back-in-ios-using-net-mau

but my MauiProgram.cs can't find the class CustomShellRenderer.

Am I missing anything to include the iOS classes here?

To reproduce, just create a new NET 8 Maui App, insert the CustomShellRenderer.cs in the Plattforms/iOS folder and add the code in the MauiProgram.cs as shown in the linked question.

Hello,

You could open the CustomShellRenderer.cs file and see if the namespace is Test1.Platforms.iOS, and then add the condition on MauiProgram.cs .

#if IOS
using Test1.Platforms.iOS;// the namespace may be this 
#endif

If you still have the problem, you could configure filename-based multi-targeting, see Configure .NET MAUI multi-targeting - .NET MAUI | Microsoft Learn

For example:

<!-- iOS -->
<ItemGroup Condition="$(TargetFramework.StartsWith('net8.0-ios')) != true">
  <Compile Remove="**\*.iOS.cs" />
  <None Include="**\*.iOS.cs" Exclude="$(DefaultItemExcludes);$(DefaultExcludesInProjectFolder)" />
</ItemGroup>

There is also another way, you could remove the CustomShellRenderer.cs in the Plattforms/iOS folder, and then add the condition, copy the code on MauiProgram.cs directly.

For example:

#if IOS
public class CustomShellRenderer : ShellRenderer
{
   ...// your code
}
 
public class CustomSectionRenderer : ShellSectionRenderer
{
   ...
}
#endif
