I use Visual Studio 2026 Community 18.4.0 and Android Target OS version 36.1. I have seen that Android 17 is already released but I don´t know how to install it in Visual Studio. The latest version that I can choose is 36.1. Is it already possible to choose Android Target OS version 37.0 in Visual Studio 2026?

Hi @Kim Strasser ,
I'm working on this right now and will try to get back to you as soon as possible.
Android 17 is not yet released. I mixed it up with the beta version. I will stick with Android Target OS version 36.1 because I don´t want to try beta versions.

Maui typically does not support new mobile O/S releases until after their public general release. It may take a month or two after this release. Android 17 is schedules for a June release, expect Maui support after this release date.
note: IOS releases are late enough in the year, that a new release of Maui is generally required.
Hi @Kim Strasser ,
Thanks for reaching out.
The Android Target OS version dropdown in Visual Studio 2026 for .NET MAUI currently tops out at 36.1. It only shows stable, fully supported API levels .NET MAUI adds support for new ones after Google's stable public release, usually with a 1-2 month delay for integration and testing.
Android 17 is still in beta (Beta 2 released February 2026), with stable expected around June 2026. Use 36.1 for reliable builds now; 37.0 will appear in the dropdown once stable Android 17 launches and Microsoft updates the workloads. (Base on Realease notes)
While this is a non-Microsoft link, it’s official Android documentation and is safe to visit.
Hope this helps. If you found my response helpful or informative, I would greatly appreciate it if you could follow this guidance provide feedback. Thank you.
It is not possible to determine from the provided information whether Android Target OS version 37.0 (Android 17) is available or how to enable it in Visual Studio 2026. No details about Android SDK/target version 37.0 support or configuration are included in the context.
