Hello Peter,

Just to provide a clear summary of the situation: support for MAUI 8 has ended.

So, you have 2 options:

Upgrade to MAUI 9, which is supported until May 2026.
Adopt MAUI 10, the newest version, which is scheduled for release in this month (November 2025).

To ensure you continue to receive security updates, it's best to plan your migration to a supported version.

For official release dates and to better understand the .NET MAUI lifecycle, you can refer to MAUI support policy.

The number -17.14.19 is not a valid argument. dotnet workload update is sufficient enough. If you want to update workload to a specific version, you should use .NET SDK version (e.g., use workload set 8.0.400 with .NET SDK 8.0.400), not Visual Studio.

There seems to be a misunderstanding. The dotnet workload update command only refreshes workloads for your current SDK; it doesn't upgrade your project to a new version.

To resolve this, you need to:

Install the .NET 9 SDK.

Update your project's target framework in the .csproj:
<TargetFrameworks>net9.0-ios;net9.0-android</TargetFrameworks>`

Restore the new workloads with dotnet workload restore.

Make sure to clean your project by deleting bin, obj and .vs after the making changes.

Have you updated the .csproj file and restored the workload by running dotnet workload restore? If possible, could you please provide the following information to help diagnose the issue:

The current content of your .csproj file.

The output of diagnostic commands such as:

dotnet --info

dotnet workload list

Any relevant build logs

A clear summary of the steps you've already taken, including what you've tried so far.

Visual Studio version, OS version, SDK version.

Please be as specific as possible so I can better assist you.

As shown in the first image, you can double-click on the project—in this case, MauiApp1 0—to view the .csproj file directly in Visual Studio.

Alternatively, you can locate the .csproj file in your project folder, as illustrated in the second image.

It looks like your project is a blank template from MAUI 8. You might want to consider creating a new project using MAUI 9, which will include all the necessary dependencies and workloads by default.

Look for the TargetFrameworks section and change from net8.0 to net10.0 (You could use net9.0, but since net10.0 is out, it's better to use the latest stable version).

<TargetFrameworks>net10.0-android;net10.0-ios;net10.0-maccatalyst</TargetFrameworks> <TargetFrameworks Condition="$([MSBuild]::IsOSPlatform('windows'))">$(TargetFrameworks);net10.0-windows10.0.19041.0</TargetFrameworks>

After the changes, it should look like this:

Also, please check the previous comments on how to install the correct SDKs and restore the workload. Make sure to delete any obj and bin folders in your project to avoid any caching issues.

Maui 8 is no longer supported. You should have already upgraded to a supported version. Maui 9 is supported until next May. Maui 10 is due this month. As you must migrate for support, and while Xcode 16 can still sign code, I’d probably just go to 10.

The workload 'net8.0-android' is out of support and will not receive security updates in the future.

What should be added (adjusted well) on the project?

At this point maui 10 has been released. You should upgrade the workload and migrate the project to 10. Check release notes for breaking changes.

Answer 2

To resolve the warning about the workload 'net8.0-ios' being out of support, you should consider upgrading to a supported workload version. The warning indicates that the current workload will not receive security updates, which means it's important to transition to a version that is actively supported.

You can check for the latest supported workloads and update your project accordingly. If you are using the .NET CLI, you can run the following command to update your workloads:

dotnet workload update

This command will help you install the latest versions of the workloads available on the configured feeds. Additionally, make sure to review the release notes for any specific version requirements or changes that may affect your project.

If you need to specify a particular version to update to, you can use:

dotnet workload update --version <desired-version>

Replace <desired-version> with the version number you wish to target.

Following these steps should help you resolve the issue and ensure that your application remains secure and up to date.
